PREFACE.
Most students when beginning to learn the
Mandarin dialect must have wished for a small
English and Chinese Dictionary, which they
could conveniently carry about with them and
refer to at will.
Those who possess a copy of the Rev. Justus
Doolittle's Vocabulary and Hand-book of the
Chinese Language have no doubt found it very
useful in their studies, but it is far too large to
be carried about for general use. And as he
does not mark the tones the beginner will find it
comparatively useless unless he has a teacher at
hand to give him the .correct pronunoiation.
The small dictionary ^ ^ *^ ^, photo-litho-
graphed from Kwong Ki-chiu's edition, is a
much more convenient volume, but as it contains
a mixtum of classical phrases and colloquial
words belonging to several different dialects it is
Vreface.
nofc a safe guide in learning Mandarin ; moreover,
as no pronunciation whatever is given it is not of
mucli use to beginners. This little book has
been compiled by selecting the most common
words given in the Rev. Dr. Chalmers' English
and Cantonese Dictionary, to which a few more
that seemed needful have been added. Students
who are disappointed with the book because it
does not contain all the words they want, are re-
quested to remember that it was never intended
to be a work of reference for those who had been
many years in China, but rather a help for begin-
ners ; the number of words has been limited to
3,500, that the book may be printed in good type
and yet in a handy form, and that its price may
be within the reach of all who are studying the
Chinese language.
The characters have been romanized ac-
cording to Dr. Wells Williams' Syllabic Dic-
tionary of the Chinese Language. The system
has been much criticized, and no doubt it is not
perfect, bub no system will hold good for all
Mandarin-speaking districts, and as nearly all
( vi)
Freface.
students of the dialect use Di\ Williams' diction-
ary and are accustomed to his spelling, it seemed
better to follow that rather than to adopt any-
less generally known, or than to add yet another
to the many systems already in use.
It may be a help to some in remembering the
tones and aspirates to note that words in the
lower level tone (T* ^) are always aspirated, if
the initial admits of their being so.
The system of orthography given below is
taken from the Introduction to Dr. Williams'
dictionary. Where the Hankow pronunciation is
decidedly different it is given after the other in
brackets.
Vowels,
a as in father.
a as in quota [many of the words written
mang and p'ang are pronounced mung
and p'ung.]
e as in men [eh, when not preceded by i, is
pronounced as e in the French word
le. In chen, ch'en and shen e is pro-
nounced as a in father,]
( vii )
Preface,
6 as in grey [after ch, j and sh as in the
French word le.]
i as in pin,
i final as in machine [chi and chih are pro-
nounced like tsz, ch4 and ch'ih like
ts% and shi and shih like sz.]
o as in long or as aw in law [in many of the
words written hoh, hwoh, koh, k'oh,
moh, ngoh, poh, p'oh, and shwoh it is
pronounced as e in the French word le.]
u as in put [un is pronounced like uin, in chun,
ch'un, jun, shun, and yun.]
u final (or before h) as oo in fool [after 1, n, s,
t, and ts as eu, after j, ch, and sh as eu
or ii.]
ii as in June [as in the French word du.]
Diphthongs,
ai as in aisle.
ao as ow in howl, prolonged.
6i as ey in grey.
eu as ou in souse [more like o in so.]
iai, each letter sounded [as ai.]
iao, each letter funded.
( viii )
Freface.
ie as ill siesta.
io as yaw in yawn.
iu as ew in pew [as eo in Eolian.]
lie as in duet [as ie.]
iii as ewy in dewy [as ei.]
Consonants.
Tlie consonants are pronounced as in English,
])ufc in Hankow ch is often confounded with ts.
h as an initial is a sligljt guttural, except
before i and ii, when it has a sibiUxnt
sound easily confounded with sh.
j as in the French jamais [as y or as a soft r.]
[k before i or ii is pronounced like cli.]
1 and n are frequently interchanged.
'rhe tones are marked in the usual Chinese
manner, thus : —
