Gharial Posted April 6, 2010 at 04:13 AM Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 at 04:13 AM I designed this chart as an alternative to larger charts, which can take up (waste) several printed pages and hundreds of chart cells listing many syllables that are either totally identical or differ only very minimally. Hence the italicized note across the top of the chart saying that the "Syllables in each system are either exactly the same, or differ very systematically:". (Which is just a way of saying that if you can't find whatever whole syllable in question and from either system on this chart, chances are then very high that that syllable is exactly the same, or differs only in terms of consonantal initial letters and possible apostrophe, umlaut etc). Note that syllables beginning with vowel letters are completely identical in both systems when the initial letter is a or o, and largely identical when it's e.

Gharial Posted April 6, 2010 at 12:28 PM Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 at 12:28 PM Oops, caught a few mistakes or omissions that need to be corrected: er=erh needs to be added to the very top of the (e) column, right beside the (e); hong=hung needs to be added to the h row, (o) column; si=szu (ssu should at most be a bracketed variant); and zi=tzu.I don't think there are any more... Anyway, here's a revised version of the chart: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
