阿尔泰语系语言韵尾-l的汉语音译

Chinese Transcriptions of End-l in Altaic Languages

中国阿尔泰语系诸语言里的-l在近古汉文文献里一般音译作"勒",但偶尔也借用收-n尾的汉字来音译。以收-n尾的汉字来音译阿尔泰语系诸语言的-l并没有反映阿尔泰语系诸语言词汇的实际音变,而是源自汉文翻译的一个古老传统。这种以借用收-n尾汉字来音译-l的特殊方法只用于其他民族语言的弱读音节。

Though generally treated as le, the final - 1 of some Altaic languages in China is occasionally transcribed into Chinese - n in materials of ancient time nearest to the present. It＇s not a reflection of phonetic alternation in Ahaic words, but a succession of an ancient tradition of Chinese transcription. The special meth- od of loaning Chinese final - n for - 1 proves only to be used on some unstressed syllables of non - Chinese languages.
