太平天国文献基础方言问题研究

A Study about the Basic Dialect of Taiping Documents

在太平天国史研究中,太平天国文献的方言问题不乏关注者。学界的观点主要有两种,一种观点认为太平天国文献主要使用客家方言,另一种观点认为太平天国文献主要使用粤方言。今次通过对太平天国文献语音、词汇、语法的分析,并考虑太平天国政权的典章制度情况,可知客家方言当无可疑地为太平天国文献的基础方言,这点与太平天国的存在相始终。

There are many linguists who had researched the dialect of Taiping documents, some think the dialect of Taiping documents is Hakka dialect, and others think the dialect of Taiping documents is Cantonese. Through the analysis of the phonetic, vocabular and grammatical features of Taiping documents and the research of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom s the laws & regulations, this study found that Hakka dialect is undoubtedly the basic language of Taiping documents, which is consistent with the existence of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
