A comparative study on the phonological system of Sanskrit and its Chinese transcription
In comparison with traditional sources on historical Chinese phonology,materials of Sanskrit-Chinese transcription can reflect the ancient pronunciations more directly.Therefore scholars have mainly studied Sanskrit-Chinese transcriptions from the perspective of direct correlation.However,due to the limited amount of extant materials,there may be cases where members of a Chinese initial or rhyme group are not found in Sanskrit-Chinese transcriptions.There may also be two Chinese words in correlation with the same Sanskrit source thus causing repetition.To solve these problems,this paper focuses on the correlation between two phonological systems rather than specific words.This would help to deepen the study of Sanskrit-Chinese transcriptions and facilitate the development of historical Chinese Phonology.
