Silsby and Davis. - -We trust that these phrases will not only be of immediate use to -the busy house-wife and merchant, or inquiring tourist, but will -be of effective assistance to the student in the acquisition of a -knowledge of the idiom. The Chinese mode of thought and method of -speech differs so largely from our own that the acquirement of a -fluent and familiar use of colloquial Chinese seems only possible -by committing to memory, or carefully studying, such sentences as -are collected in the following pages. A useful practice would be -to rewrite the English word by word, according to the order in -the vernacular, so as to perceive the construction of sentences -and the peculiar use of verbs, adverbs, prepositions, connective -and terminal particles, etc. To aid in the recognition of the -English equivalents of the Chinese character or romanised we have -added an index and vocabulary of the words used in this book. -This will require to be used cautiously, as the meanings given in -many cases are not the primary ones, but rather those used -in certain phrases. It ought also to be mentioned that the -grammatical and topical groups at the end of the book are not -complete, but are added for convenience of reference and in the -hope that they will tempt to a fuller study through the medium of -the more elaborate works. - -The description of the romanised system used is reproduced, by -kind permission, from the material supplied by Rev. J. A. Silsby -to accompany the romanised translation of the Police Regulations -published by the Shanghai Municipal Council. This system of -romanisation was adopted by the Shanghai Vernacular Society in -1899, and has many merits, not the least being the absence of -diacritical marks. - -Grateful thanks are accorded to friends who have helped with -advice, particularly to Rev. G. F. Fitch, D.D., Rev. J. A. Silsby, -and Mr. Kau Voong-dz (高鳳池). Such help was very necessary from -the manner in which various native teachers differed as to -pronunciation and idiom. - -In spite of all the pains taken in the preparation of these -sentences and in the revision for this second edition it is -possible that errors still remain; the compiler, therefore, will -be grateful for corrections, which will be duly noted in prospect -of a possible future edition. - - G. M. - - Shanghai, 23rd March, 1908. - - ---------- - - - Description of the Shanghai Romanised System. - -Nearly all the syllables are represented by the combination of an -initial and a final, a system which has been found to be well -adapted to the Chinese language. - - - Initials. - - The Upper Series are—_p_, _’m_, _’v_, _t_, _ts_, _s_, _’l_, _’ny_, - _’ng_, _k_, _ky_, _kw_, _i_ and _’w_. These initials are - pronounced in most cases much the same as in English, but without - aspiration, higher in pitch and with very little vibration of the - larynx. The apostrophe before a letter indicates that the letter - belongs to the “higher series.” Pure vowel initials also belong to - this series. - - _’ny_ has a sound similar to that of _ni_ in spa_ni_el. - - _ky_ ＝ _ch_ in _ch_uk with all aspiration eliminated. - - _i_ as an initial has the sound of _i_ in dahlia. - - The ASPIRATES are—_ph_, _f_, _th_, _tsh_, _kh_, _ch_, _khw_, _h_, - _hy_, and _hw_ (_th_ as in _Th_omson—not as in _th_ing). - - _ch_ ＝ _ch_ in _ch_urch. - - _hy_ is nearly like _ti_ in Por_ti_a. - - The other aspirates are like the corresponding initials of the - higher series with the addition of a strong aspiration (indicated - by _h_). - - The Lower Series are—_b_, _m_, _v_, _d_, _dz_, _z_, _l_, _n_, _ny_, - _ng_, _g_, _j_, _gw_, _y_, and _w_. Their pronunciation is much - the same as in English. They are lower in pitch than - corresponding initials of the “higher series,” and have more - “voice,” being pronounced with more decided vibration of the - larynx. The lower vowel initials, indicated by an inverted comma - (‘) and attended with a slight aspiration, belong to this series. - - - Finals. - - 1. The Vowel Endings are—_a_, _e_, _i_, _au_, _o_, _oo_, _oe_, - _eu_, _u_, _ui_, _ia_, _iau_, _ieu_, and _ie_. - - 2. The Nasal Endings are—(_a_) _an_, _en_, _ien_ and _oen_, in - which the _n_ is not sounded, but lengthens out and imparts a - nasal quality to the preceding vowel; (_b_) _ang_, _aung_, _oong_, - (or _ong_), _ung_ and _iang_, in which _ng_ has the value of _ng_ - in so_ng_, but is often nearer the French _n_ in _bon_; (_c_) - _uin_, in which _n_ is sonant and has a value varying between _n_ - and _ng_. - - 3. The Abrupt Vowel Endings are—_ak_, _ah_, _eh_, _ih_, _auh_, - _ok_, _oeh_, _uh_, and _iak_, in which _h_ and _k_ are the signs - of the _zeh-sung_ (入聲), and the vowel is pronounced in a short, - abrupt manner. - - The sounds of the vowels are— - - _a_ as in f_a_r, except when followed by _n_ or _h_, when it - has the sound of _a_ in m_a_n or m_a_t. - - _e_ as in pr_e_y; before _h_ it has the sound of _e_ as in m_e_t. - - _i_ „ capr_i_ce; before _h_ or _ng_ it is shortened to _i_ as - in m_i_t or s_i_ng. - - _au_ as in _Au_gust. - - _o_ or _oo_ as _ou_ in th_ou_gh or in thr_ou_gh. It is really - a combination of these two sounds, and is modified by its - environment. - - _oe_ as in G_oe_the (German ö). - - _eu_ „ French Monsi_eu_r. - - _u_ „ oo in f_oo_t (always preceded by an _s_ sound). - - _ui_ „ in fr_ui_t (or rather French ü). - - In _ia_, _iau_, _ieu_ and _ie_, we have short _i_ followed closely - by _a_, _au_, _eu_, and _e_, as described above. - -Of course it is understood that the Chinese sounds in a majority -of cases vary somewhat from the English sounds which are given as -the nearest equivalent. - -The Dok-yoong Z-moo—“Initials _used alone_” i.e., without -vowels, are—_ts_, _tsh_, _dz_, _s_, _z_, _an_, _ng_, and _r_. -The first five are followed by the vowel sound in the second -syllable of _able_—prolonged. Mateer and Bailer use ï for this -sound and the new Mandarin Romanized uses _i_[C0]. It is not -written, but understood in the Shanghai system. _m_ has the sound -of _m_ in chas_m_ and _ng_ the sound of _ng_ in ha_ng_er; _r_ is -a sound between final _r_ and _l_. - -_Tone Marks_.—As in Ningpo and other Woo dialects, tone marks -are unnecessary in ordinary letter-press, and are omitted in this -book. - - - =_SALUTATIONS_.= - ---------- - - Good morning. - 早呀 _Tsau-’a_, 儂早 _Noong tsau_. - - How are you?
