Description

1. INTRODUCTION The Austrian astronomer and sinologist Franz Kuhnert left detailed studies of Nankingese pronunciation as it existed in the late nineteenth century. Accounts of this type are valuable because they can be compared with modern descriptions to serve as a basis for historical analysis of phonological change in Chinese dialects. Unfortunately, Kuhnert recorded his form of Nankingese in a complex and intricate orthography, which makes his material difficult to access for readers today. The purpose of the present article is to analyze his transcriptional system and determine IPA sound values for the forms he gives.
