关于远古语言语音面貌的若干设想——兼怀王力先生对我古音研究的支持和鼓励

Several Conjetures on Speech Sounds of Remote Antiquity Languages——In Memory of the Support and Encouraging My Study of Archaic Chinese Sounds

远古语言是指从最早阶段的人类(一般称猿人)到上古以前的远古人(主要指远古汉藏民族的先民)的语言。从汉藏语言的语言材料和猿猴、远古人的发音特点来看,文章认为,远古语言的语音有这样几个特点:一、远古人最早会发的是喉音。二、远古人先会发鼻音,其次会发与鼻音同部位的塞音,然后是与塞音同部位的擦音。三、远古人的元音只有一个喉部元音α 。四、远古人的语言里没有声调。五、远古汉语的音节构造是声韵母全闭音节。

The remote antiquity languages refer to those used by ape-man and the forefather of Sino-Tibetan people from the earliest time to antiquity. In the article, it is concluded from the materials of Sino-Tibetan family of languages and the sound characteristic of ape-man and remote antiquity pecple that: 1. What the remote antiquity people can sound first is glottal. 2. The sequence in which the re-mote antiquity people can make is nasal, plosive in the same part and way as nasal, and fricative, the same as plosive in the part and way. 3. The only vowel in that period is aR in throat. 4. There is no tome in the languages of remote antiquity time. 5. Closed syllables of both initial consonant and vowel make up the syllables of the remote antiquity languages.
