Tungusic-Mongolian-Turkish Phonetic Elements in Ancient Chinese Language of Central China
古代中原汉语中的通古斯语, 蒙古语和突厥语成分
James Xueyuan Zhu 朱学渊

Abstract 摘要
This article describes the evolution of the ancient northern Chinese language and human consanguinity based on correspondences between person/place names in the Qi-Lu area during the Chunqiu period and northern nomadic tribe names recorded in Chinese histories. Recognizing the validity of Sino-Tibetan-Burmic Languages theory in many respects, the author also notes a significant amount of Tungusic, Mongolian, and Turkish phonetic elements in the ancient Chinese. Therefore, the author concludes that the so-called Altaic Languages and ethnic groups may have originated from the Yellow River valley, and that the ancient northern Chinese language most likely formed with influences from the south, where the Tibetan-Burmic-like languages dominated from very ancient time.

从春秋时代齐鲁人名,地名与北方诸族族名之关联比较出发, 本文探讨了中原古代居民的语言和血缘的融合机制。在认同汉-藏缅语系理论的合理性的同时,作者注意到古代中原汉语中存在着的大量通古斯,蒙古,突厥语成分; 并认为所谓阿尔泰语系诸族及其语言,应源自黄河流域;而古代北方汉语,则应是在藏缅式的南方语言的注入和影响下形成的。
