Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Chinese Language: As Exemplifying the Origin and Growth of Human Speech China is separated by the ocean, by deserts, and by mountain chains from all nations possessed of original literatures, and her language is more isolated than any other form of human speech studied by philologists. While Chinese has been brought to a high degree of excellence by a people devoted to literary pursuits, it remains possessed of a primitive order of words, and a monosyllabic structure. These peculiarities give it a claim to be a direct descendant of the mother tongue of humanity, but it is not itself that mother tongue. Nor, so far as can be seen, is any other language having a wide area, whether near or far away, a descendant of the Chinese. Further, it may be said that there is no other language, or family of language, which can be more reasonably assumed to be the speech first used in the world's grey morning than can the Chinese. None has proceeded on its course more naturally and gradually, or suffered less by violent inversions in the arrangement of roots. Hence, Chinese is regarded in this essay as the equivalent of the primeval language, and is treated as forming with that language, as seen through a long perspective, a consolidated unity.

Excerpt: ... and i by the narrowness of the aperture. These primitive vowels were followed by u, il which are less visible';from without and would be later. There are other Chinese vowels found in j= tan, T ting, W keny, - she, - chio. All these vowels may have been formed from a by tendency to variation. The modern Chinese o represents the ancient a. The i of old Chinese as formed by the convex front of the tongue advancing to very near the palatal arch is after s, sh, ch, in modern Chinese exchanged for a peculiar vowel % formed by narrowing the orifice between the tongue and palate. The older o and ii have both become u. So it is with other vowels. The old have changed into the new. The lesson taught by studying the ancient sounds and the dialects is that the farther we go back the nearer we approach to unity. As the consonants are reduced to labials in the first instance, so the vowels are reduced to a which would be the first to obtain currency because it is most observable by the eye. III. GROUPING OF THE LETTERS. The tongue of any one speaking is from time to time moved upward to contract or shut the sound passage. The lower lip moves upward also. This makes a fourfold division, that is to say we have gutturals, palatals, dentals and labials. The upper lip and teeth with the palate are at rest. The lower lip, and teeth with the tip, front and back of the tongue are always kept moving. The air coming from the lungs may be a breathing or a voice. In either case there is the formation of a letter in Chinese. The breathing is h which may be high or low, the high breathing being caused by increased quickness in vibration in the sound passage at the back of the tongue. With voice the letters formed may he b, d, g, z, zh, m etc. The vowels are..
