Notes These are full (but in-progress) data sets. Chinese roots and cognates fall into two groups: | |
|
Modern items. These are the result of relatively modern
(<200 years) sea-going immigration from Southern China; mostly
Teo Chew, with some Hokkien and misc. others.
The data set is based largely on [Pranee83], with additions from [Gong00]. More about modern loans. | |
|
Middle (sometimes called ancient,
as opposed to archaic) items.
These are likely to be the result of Tai - Chinese contact in the
first half of the first millennium. However, direction of borrowing
is not certain, and it is likely that some terms come from a third, earlier
source, which also gave rise to Austronesian.
The Chinese references are circa 601 CE.
The data set is based on [Prapin76], who incorporates Egerod. | |
