The initials of Proto-Min
原始闽语的声母

Abstract 摘要
The author in a prior article proposed a reconstruction of the stops and sonorants of Proto-Min. Here the entire initial system of Proto-Min is reconstructed. On the basis of the Yungan dialect, a distinction of dental and alveopalatal sibilants is assumed. All the affricates and fricatives fit the initial categories already proposed to account for tonal development.
