浅谈藏语元音多数论

On The Theory Of Multiple Vowels In Tibetan

基于藏文文法的研究可窥见,对藏文元音的认定和归类主要有三种学术观点:以文法原典《三十颂》为依据,将元音定为|i||u||e||o|四个;以萨迦索南孜摩和夏鲁译师为代表的学者将藏文三十个字母中的|a|归类为元音,因此,认为元音有五个;后期学者对《三十颂》和《音势论》等经典文法著作作注疏研究,又形成以五个元音为基点和以|a|为零星式元音理论的语法定论。但是依据藏文书面语的语法规则及日常用语的表达习俗,应遵循以|i||u||e||o|四个为元音的语法规则更合乎逻辑。

Based on Tibetan grammar research can be seen that there are three academic views on the identification and classification of Tibetan vowels:according to the original grammar work《Sum-bcu-ba’i-rtha-ba》,Tibetan vowels are the four||I|u||e||o|;Scholars represented by Sa-skya-bsod-nams-rtse-mo and translator Zha-lu deemed that the|a|in the thirty characters also was a vowel,so there were five vowels;then formed the grammatical conclusion through annotation and study by later scholars on the original works that with five vowels as basis and|a|as sporadic vowel.But according to the syntax rules of written Tibetan language and everyday language expression of customs,the one of following to four vowels as||I|u||e||o|is more logical.
