“圩”的读音和释义

The Pronunciation and Meaning of the Words "Yu" and "Xu"

南方方言中的底层词,除了保留在口语中之外,还能从地名通名中觅得踪迹。本文所讨论的"圩"就属于这一类词语,通过追溯其读音和释义在方言中的留存与变异,不仅可以解决现实生活中所遇到的读音困惑,更能清晰地了解到少数民族语言与汉语的融合过程。

Substrate words in southern dialects exist in the spoken form and also appear in place names. The word '圩' discussed in this paper falls into the category.
