Glimpses of Hankou Phonological History
汉口方言语音历史的几点认识
W. South Coblin 柯蔚南

Abstract 摘要
The modern metropolis of W3uh4an comprises three earlier cities, i.e., H4ank3ou, H4any2ang, and W3uch1ang. For modern W3uh4an we have several different phonological descriptions, and for pre-modern H4ank3ou there are romanized records reaching back 125 years. On the basis of these sources it is possible to trace the history of the H4ank3ou sound system for the past century and quarter. Such a study reveals that the phonological history of this dialect was quite complex and reflects contact and convergence as well as simple historical sound change.
