- Title
On the Regional Origin of the Eighteenth-Century "Dictionarium Sinico-Latinum.".
- Authors
COBLIN, W. SOUTH
- Abstract
The article presents the author's hypothesis that the book "Dictionarium Sinco-Latin" (DSL), written in seventeenth or eighteenth-century China, was composed in north China, even with the variety of Guãnhuà of the southern type. It defines the ramifications of this theory as that the Mandarin palatization of gutturals had occurred in north China by at least the second decade of the eighteenth century. The article also mentions that this form of Guãnhuà had a number of syllable types with dental sibilant initials.
