《西番译语》中的藏语韵尾成分-s

A Discussion on-s in Tibetan Consonant Cluster Codas as Represented in Xifan Yiyu 西番译语

本文基于明代乙种本《西番译语》的藏汉对音材料,通过藏文复辅音韵尾成分-s(即再后加字■)对音为"思"的情况,认为藏语复辅音韵尾成分-s的弱化和脱落存在地域和时间先后的差异,并认为国内藏语诸方言复辅音韵尾成分-s脱落的时间均早于明代。

This paper is based on the Chinese transcription of the Tibetan words in the Yi （乙） class version ofXifan Yiyu 西番译语 compiled in the Ming Dynasty. On the basis of the Chinese transcription of-s （post-postscript ） as si 思, ancient written Tibetan texts, modem Tibetan dialects, and other related historical materials, it proposes that the reduction and loss of-s vary in geographical locations and time sequence. The loss of -s in Tibetan dialects spoken in China occured before the Ming dynasty.
