I recently calculated the readings of several thousand Chinese characters based on the categories given in old dictionaries. The data presented here is unique given the fact that I retain the palatal endings that can still be detected in Sino-Viet...
(Link) I have relatively recently been shown this Middle Chinese reconstruction/notation in IPA. It is different from the ones given in ytenx.org and zdic.net in that tones have been incorporated in the readings as well. Here are a few things to note:
- Early Middle Chinese ph, which evolved into Late Middle Chinese f, is shown here as aspirated f, possibly more as a notation than phonetic. - a labiodental nasal is used for TCC "mh" - A palatal lateral has been used in the reconstruction for the EMC initial 以 (Baxter's y-) - The level, rising and departing tones are interpreted as phonetically level, rising and falling respectively, with voiced initials carrying a low tone. - The palatal series is interpreted as having stops - The vowels in the respective divisions are pretty close to their TCC counterparts, with TCC's "â, a, ie and ê" standing for the reconstructed (here) "ɑ, a, ja and ə" respectively. - The medials are represented as “j u y”.
