Phonology of the Zhangpu dialect
漳浦方言的音系
Margaret Mian Yan 严棉

Abstract 摘要
The Zhangpu dialect, a variety of Southern Min, is spoken by the people who live in Zhangpu xian, Fujian province. Like other Southern Min dialects, the Zhangpu dialect shows parallel phonological systems of literary and colloquial readings. Basically, its phonological system is very close to the Zhangpu dialect, but the aspirated affricate /ts’-/ in Zhangzhou and most of the other Southern Min dialects is the voiceless fricative /s-/ in Zhangpu. This aspect suggests that Southern Min might have evolved from a proto-language that had at least four types of affricates.

漳浦话是闽南方言的次方言。它跟其它闽南方言一样，有着非常显着的文百两读的现象。基本上，它的音韵系统跟漳州方言差不多，在历史音变的演进层次上大部分也跟漳州方言相似。但是在厦门，漳州及大部分其它闽南方言的送气塞擦音的声母 /ts’-/ 在漳浦方言则都变成擦音 /s-/. 这一点启示我们闽南方言的母语可能有四种不同的塞擦音。
