 CHINESE LIBRARY 
 
KuLEs FOR Pronouncing the Chinese. 
 
 1. In this Dictionary tlie Chinese tones are distinguished from 
 one another by means of two accents, and two kinds of type 
 Italic and Roman. Syllables printed in Italics must be pro- 
 nounced on a key higher, always by a fourth, and sometimes by 
 a sixth of the scale, than the corresponding ones in Roman let- 
 ters. 
 
 2. Syllables which have no accent over them ought to be 
 pronounced, whether they be on a high or on a low key, in the 
 same easy and natural manner in which we speak our own lan- 
 guage. E.ij., in the sentence "Do it noio,'' the Italicized word 
 will most likely be uttered in the same tone as the Canton col- 
 loquial word for "anger," — mm. 
 
 3. If a syllable has the acute accent ( ' ) over it, there must be 
 a forcible raising of the pitch of the voice in the act of enunciating 
 it. In asking the question " Shall I do it now'? " the voice rises 
 in a somewhat similar manner, and the tone of the Chinese word 
 nau'j "to twist," would be quite appropriate for the Italicized 
 now in this case. 
 
 4. The grave accent ( ' ) indicaties a vanishing note, which 
 neither rises nor falls in pitch, aud might be fitly termed the 
 drawling or pleading tone. It is occasionally heard in such a 
 j)hrase as "Now, do be quiet." 
 
 5. Words ending in A:, />, and ^, are considered by the Chinese 
 as differing only in tone from those ending in vg, m, and n. 
 But they are sufficiently distinguished by the spelling, and need 
 no other mark. 
 
 6. The system of spelling here used is adapted from that of 
 Dr. Williams' Tonic Dictionary, only dispensing with his diacritic 
 marks for the sake of convenience in writing and printing, and, 
 it is hoped, also in using the Dictionary. The vowels are to be 
 pronounced as follows: — 
 
 ort, and a final, as in father, 
 
 a, not final, as in compamj, 
 
 e, as in they, 
 
 I, as in machine, but before ng and A-, as in king, 
 
 0, final, as in jiOf aud not final, as in hop. 
 
 oh, as in hoi-n. 
 
 o, as in Gothe. 
 
 00, as in school. 
 
 u, as in fun, (interchanged with short a.) 
 
 vv, nearly as in hull. 
 
 ye, as u in Triibner. 
 
 ai, as y injiy. 
 
 aai., as a with ca in far-reaching. 
 
 747806 
 
iV. nULES FOR PRONOUNCIN'O THE CHINESE. 
 
 cm, as ow in now* 
 
 am, as a with u in far-ruling, 
 
 e't, as ei/o in beyond, 
 
 iu, as ee with ou in see-yon. 
 
 Of, as 03^ in &o?^. 
 
 we, nearly as in Louis, 
 
 ooif as in cooing. 
 
 sze or s;2;' is a mere buzz, the vowel being scarcely heard. 
 
 7*. According to the above method of distinguishing the eight 
 tones, they will stand thus: — 
 
 'U. m u M m ^ M m 
 
 wun wun' ivun^ zvzit wun wun' wun* wut. 
 1^" It is well to keep in mind that the 5th and 6th of those 
 tones take the aspirate ( ' ) whenever the initial admits of it, 
 while the 7th seldom takes it. Thus we have "ch'ue, ch'ue', 
 chue*; p'o, p'o', po\" &c.; but not "chue, chue', ch'ue^; po, po', 
 p'o»," &c. 
 
 It is also a rule with some exceptions that syllables beginning 
 with /, 77Z, or n, are in the lower tones. 
 
 In colloquial discourse many common words, when they end 
 clauses or sentences, are pronounced with a rising tone which 
 does not properly belong to them. Thus the sun is called "it- 
 t'au','' a Buddist priest " woh-sheung'," &c. Other words in 
 peculiar positions have a variation of tone, as "/«?i^'' to sleep 
 which is pronounced "/«?i'" when used alone to denote that a 
 person is asleep. The following are a few examples of words 
 which occasionally take the rising tone : — 
 
 H t'au', ^ ts'in', ngan', ^ yan', [{^ shi', J^ ti', 
 
 |g kw'ai', ^ wa', ip^ uen', t^ ts'ze', ^ foo', ^ foo', [^ 
 tseung', ^^ p'aai', fg- wa', |^ sliui', ^ yau', jj|| noi', ^ 
 pa', ^ yeung', ij^^ maan', ^ ts'ing', ]j^ ts'im', ^ taai', 
 fH pin', jgf min', ^ k'an', j[^ t'aam', ^ sheung', Zl i', 
 
 M ''' ^ffl '''^*'' ^ ^'''■''^''' M ^''^'' ^^/««^''' '^c- 
 
 The limits of this volume will not permit a full exhibition of 
 these variations of the tones, but the above may serve to put the 
 beginner on his guard, and to explain what might otherwise 
 seem like an indiscriminate use of tones on the part of the Chi- 
 uese themselves.
