“女真”译音考

Phonetic Transcription of "Nüzhen"

"女真"一词的译音规则与宋元史籍中其他词语的译音规则不符。本文指出这是因为"女真"的译音来自唐代盛行的汉语西北方言,而宋元史籍中其他词语的译音来自宋以后的中原方言。

The phonetic transcription rule of the word ＂Nuzhen＂ （Jurchen） is different from that of other words. It is pointed out that the Chinese transcription ＂Nuzhen＂ came from the Northwest Dialect widely spread in the Tang era, whereas the transcription of other words in Song-Yuan historical records came from the Central Dialect after the Song era.
