有关《蒙古字韵》的几个问题

Some Issues on 《Mongolian Rhyme》

《蒙古字韵》《蒙古韵略》《蒙古韵》是性质相同名称不同的韵书,另外还有《蒙古韵编》《蒙古韵类》等不同称呼。《蒙古韵编》应当是1270年至1286年之间产生的,《蒙古韵略》《蒙古韵》也应该在这个时间段。《蒙古字韵》是1308年朱宗文校订诸书时择其善者命名的。《蒙古字韵》的字头对汉字来讲是一个标音的类别,不是音值的描写。《蒙古字韵》就是蒙古字拼写的汉字韵,分析《蒙古字韵》要以汉字韵为基准。

《Mongolian Character Rhyme》,《Brief Introduction of Mongolian Rhyme》,《Mongolian Rhyme》are all rhyme books with similar characteristics and different names.They also have other different names as 《Compilation of Mongolian Rhyme》,《Types of Mongolian Rhyme》.《Compilation of Mongolian Rhyme》 could be produced during 1270 to 1286.The production of 《Brief Introduction of Mongolian Rhyme》and 《Mongolian Rhyme》could be appropriately the same time.《Mongolian Character Rhyme》was chosen and named by Zhu Zongwen while he revised the relevant books.The prefix of 《Mongolian Character Rhyme》 is the category of transcription to Chinese but not the transcription of tone value.《Mongolian Character Rhyme》is the Chinese rhyme with Mongolian spelling.Therefore,the analysis of 《Mongolian Character Rhyme》 should be based on Chinese rhyme.
