论训民正音和八思巴文字的关系

On Relations between Hunmin Jeong-eum and Phags-pa Script

针对训民正音的起源,韩国学术界一直坚信发音器官象形说。但是2001年中国学者照那斯图提出了训民正音的辅音与元音的基本字母模仿八思巴文字的主张,此主张引起了韩国学术界的强烈反响。对训民正音和八思巴文字的创制、字母体系、字形进行比较后认为,训民正音与八思巴文字在创制、字母体系方面存在密切关系,但字形特别是元音字母的字形并不存在相似之处。

In terms of the origin of Hunmin jeong-eum, the articulating organs pictographic theory has been dominating in Korean academic circle. However, in 2001, Zhaonashitu, a Chinese scholar, presented an idea that the elementary letters of Hunmin jeongeum＇s consonants and vowels have imitated Phags-pa script, which provoked an intense repercussion around Korean academia. This article states the relations between Korean and Chinese scripts by comparing their formulation, alphabetic system and character pattern, considering that there is intimate relevance in the light of formulation and alphabetic system, whereas there is no similarities in character pattern especially in vowels.
