The oldest existing Cantonese rhyme dictionary had 33 rhyme groups, but according to Swedish naturalist Osbeck's diary, and combining with modern Cantonese phonology in cross-reference, Sino-Cantonese characters (18th century) actually had 34 identical phonemic rhyme groups. More in 👇 🧵 (1/2)

Proposal for katakana transcription of Lǎoguóyīn (Old National Pronunciation) which was the standard phonology of Mandarin Chinese in 1922. This proposal can also be adapted for Xīnguóyīn (1932), Pǔtōnghuà, or other similar dialects. 🧵 (1/2)

因為《九龍城寨之圍城》喺日本上映無日文配音,好多日本人發現粵語「係」竟然可以同日文「はい」近乎完全一樣。 由於文言文都有個「兮」字,我斷估「hai(hei)」可能係遠古時代東亞大陸未有文字果陣一種感嘆詞。黃河文明嘅「兮」雖然現代已經無咩再用,但廣東發展出「係」哩個字,而遼河文明就變成日文「はい」。 類似例子仲有粵語「麻麻」同日文「まあまあ」,唔排除遠古時代黃河/遼河兩大文明之間有某種missin...

Similarly, there is the Cantonese word 麻麻 and the Japanese word まあまあ, both pronounce [maa maa] and both means "so-so". We can't rule out the possibility that there was some kind of missing link between the two civilisations in the ancient times. 🧵 (4/5)

Jyutping is based on modern (post-1950s) Hong Kong Cantonese which the distinction between z and zh is lost already, so it doesn't really matter to pronounce either z or zh in Hong Kong Cantonese. (1/4) #Cantonese #HongKong #dialect

Because there is no distinction of aspiration (with or without it) in Japanese voiceless consonants, so both 精[t͡s] and 清[t͡sʰ] consonants in Middle Chinese were transliterated to be the same Japanese さ行[s] consonant #Japanese #Chinese #consonant
