A Course of Mandarin Lessons (Abridged Edition) Based on Idiom (Classic Reprint)

Calvin Wilson Mateer

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from A Course of Mandarin Lessons Based on Idiom

The system of spelling has not been changed. The author has felt more and more, however, that the application of the system to the Peking dialect did not fairly represent the system in that it was not consistently carried out. After further investigation and correspondence with various parties in the north in whose judgment I had confidence I concluded to go somewhat beyond the views of the Peking friends who gave me their advice for the first edition, and make the application of the system to Pekingese consistent with itself, and in harmony with its application to other dialects. The changes consist in putting wci for id, {ten for nan, yin for ya and yien for yen. For discussion see remarks after the Peking sound table, page 43.
