广东电白观珠客家话止摄精组字的读音

The Hakka Pronunciation of Zhi-Group Vowel and Jing-Group Consonant in Guanzhu

广东电白县观珠镇客家话止摄精组字声母读[kk‘],韵母读[Y]。这一现象也见于与观珠相邻的中东部其它镇的客家话中。初步推论这是受底层语言影响的一种音变现象。

Among the Hakkas living in Guanzhu Town of Dianbai County, Guangdong Province, the initial consonant of Jin-Group （精组 ） is pronounced as[k] or[k＇], while the vowel of Zhi-Group （止摄） is pronounced as [Y],The same pronunciation is also found among the Hakkas living in the nearby towns of the central east of the County. We tentatively conclude that this is a kind of phonetic change caused by the influence of the dialect originally spoken by the local ethnical people in ancient times.
