Abstract 摘要
By historical strata comparison, we analyse the -n/-t endings of Zeng-group and Geng-group in Minnan dialects. We point out that in fact this stratum is an old literary layer in Minnan dialects. We find it also exists in Hakka-gan dialects, Hangzhou dialect, South East Mandarins, Jianghuai Mandarins extensively. In Sino-annamite, there are some similarities to Minnan dialects. Basing on our new findings, we believe that in Song dynasty, the endings of Zeng-group and Geng-group in north china mandarin are read -ȵ/-ȶ, rather than -ŋ/-k, though those special endings in north mandarin disappear completely now. We also verify that the special endings of Zeng-group and Geng-group are caused by front vowel i.

本文通过历史层次比较，分析闽南话曾、梗摄的-n/-t 韵尾。我们发现，曾、梗摄这一历史层次广泛存在于客赣语，杭州官话，西南官话，江淮官话，汉越语也有类似的情况。我们可以证明，在宋代，作为权威方言的中原官话，曾、梗摄也是广泛地读为-ŋ/-k 韵尾。我们还论证了曾、梗摄的 -ȵ/-ȶ 韵尾是前元音i引起的腭化。
