Eastern Min or Min Dong (Шаблон:Zh, Foochow Romanized: Mìng-dĕ̤ng-ngṳ̄) is a branch of the Min group of the Chinese languages of China. The prestige form and most commonly cited representative form is the Fuzhou dialect, the speech of the capital of Fujian.[1]
Geographic distribution
Fujian and vicinity
Eastern Min varieties are mainly spoken in the eastern region of Fujian Province (Шаблон:Zhi) of the People's Republic of China, in and near the cities of Fuzhou and Ningde. This includes the traditional Ten Counties of Fuzhou (Шаблон:Lang-zh; Foochow Romanized: Hók-ciŭ Sĕk Ék), a region that consists of present-day Pingnan, Gutian, Luoyuan, Minqing, Lianjiang, Changle, Minhou, Yongtai, Fuqing and Pingtan, as well as the urban area of Fuzhou proper.[2][3]
It is also widely encountered as the mother tongue of the Matsu Islands, controlled by the Republic of China. Historically, the Eastern Min varieties in the Matsu Islands were seen as a part of the Lianjiang variety. The establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949 separated the Matsu Islands from the rest of Fujian, and as communications were cut off between the ROC and the PRC, the specific identity of the Matsu Islands was established. Thus, the varieties of Eastern Min on the Matsu Islands became seen as the Matsu dialect (Шаблон:Zhi).[4]
Additionally, the inhabitants of Taishun and Cangnan to the north of Fujian in Zhejiang also speak Eastern Min varieties.[5] To the south of Fujian, in Zhongshan County, Guangdong, varieties classified as Eastern Min are also spoken in the towns of Dachong, Shaxi and Nanlang.[6][7]
Eastern Min generally coexists with the official language, Standard Chinese, in all these areas. On the ROC, the Matsu dialect is officially recognized as a statutory language for transport announcements on the Matsu Islands.[8] In Fuzhou, there is radio available in the local dialect, and the Fuzhou Metro officially uses alongside Standard Mandarin and English in its announcements.[9]
United States
As the coastal area of Fujian has been the historical homeland of a large worldwide diaspora of overseas Chinese, varieties of Eastern Min can also be found across the world, especially in their respective Chinatowns. Cities with high concentrations of such immigrants include New York City,[10] especially Little Fuzhou, Manhattan, Sunset Park, Brooklyn and Flushing, Queens.
Europe
Speakers of Eastern Min varieties are also found in various Chinatown communities in Europe, including London, Paris and the city of Prato in Italy.[11] In the United Kingdom, a large proportion of the Chinese community is made up of migrants coming from areas of Fujian that speak Eastern Min,[12][13][14] principally from rural parts of Fuqing and Changle.[15][16][17] In Spain, speakers of Eastern Min from Fuqing and Changle are also common, second to the more dominant Zhejiang community, who speak varieties of Southern Wu such as Wenzhounese.[18][19]
Japan and Malaysia
Chinese communities within Ikebukuro, Tokyo[20] as well as Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia have significant populations of Eastern Min speakers. Fuzhou communities can also be found in Sitiawan, Perak and Yong Peng, Johor in West Malaysia.Шаблон:Citation needed
Classification
Eastern Min is descended from Proto-Min, which split from the transition from Old Chinese into Middle Chinese during the Han Dynasty.[21] It has been classified by Pan Maoding and Jerry Norman as belonging to the Coastal Min branch, and is thus closely related to Northern Min.[22][21]
Norman lists four distinctive features in the development of Eastern Min:[21]
- The Proto-Min initial *dz- becomes s- in Eastern Min, as opposed to ts- as in Southern Min. For example, Шаблон:Linktext "to sit" is pronounced sô̤i (IPA: Шаблон:IPA) in colloquial Fuzhou dialect, but tsō (IPA: Шаблон:IPA) in Xiamen and Taiwanese Hokkien.
- Eastern Min varieties have an upper register tone for words which correspond to voiceless nasal initials in Proto-Min, e.g. Шаблон:Linktext "younger sister" in Fuzhou is pronounced with an upper departing tone muói (IPA: Шаблон:IPA) rather than a lower departing tone.
- There are some lexemes that descend from Old Chinese which have been conserved in Eastern Min but replaced in other Min varieties. For example, Шаблон:Linktext instead of Шаблон:Linktext for "dog".
- A lack of nasal vowels, in contrast to Southern Min.[21]
Branches
Eastern Min is conventionally divided into three branches:[23]
- Houguan dialect group (Шаблон:Lang), also called the Southern subgroup, including the Fuzhou dialect, Fuqing dialect, Changle dialect, Lianjiang dialect and the dialect of the Matsu Islands.
- Funing dialect group (Шаблон:Lang), also called the Northern subgroup, including the Ningde dialect and the Fu'an dialect.
- Manjiang dialect (Шаблон:Lang), spoken in parts of Taishun and Cangnan, Wenzhou, Zhejiang.
Besides these three branches, some dialect islands in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong have been classified as Eastern Min.[24][7] Zhongshan Min is a group of Min varieties spoken in the Zhongshan county of Guangdong, divided into three branches: the Longdu dialect and Nanlang dialect belong to the Eastern Min group, while the Sanxiang dialect belongs to Southern Min.[6][7]
Phonology
Шаблон:Cleanup lang The Eastern Min group has a phonology which is particularly divergent from other varieties of Chinese. Aside from the Manjiang dialect, both Houguan and Funing groups are similar in the number of initials, with the Fu'an dialect having 17 initials, two more than the Fuzhou dialect, the additions being Шаблон:IPA and Шаблон:IPA or Шаблон:IPA as separate phonemes (the glottal stop is common to both but excluded from this count). The Manjiang dialect on the other hand has been influenced by the Wu dialects of Zhejiang, and hence has significantly more initials than the varieties of Fujian.
The finals vary significantly between varieties, with the extremes being represented by Manjiang dialects at a low of 39 separate finals, and the Ningde dialect representing the high at 69 finals.
| Types | Houguan subgroup (Шаблон:Lang) | Funing subgroup (Шаблон:Lang) | Manjiang (Шаблон:Lang) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| City | Fuzhou (Шаблон:Lang) | Fuqing (Шаблон:Lang) | Gutian (Шаблон:Lang) | Ningde (Шаблон:Lang) | Fuding (Шаблон:Lang) | Fu'an (Шаблон:Lang) | Qianku, Cangnan, Zhejiang (Шаблон:Lang) |
| Number of Initials | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 17 | 29 |
| Number of Finals | 46 | 42 | 51 | 69 | 41 | 56 | 39 |
| Number of Tones | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 |
Eastern Min varieties generally have seven tones, by the traditional count (based on the four tones of Middle Chinese, including the entering tone as a separate entity). In the middle of the Qing dynasty, eight tones were attested, but the historical rising tones (Шаблон:Lang) re-merged.[25]
Sandhi phenomena
The Eastern Min varieties have a wide of range of sandhi phenomena. As well as tone sandhi, common to many varieties of Chinese, there is also the assimilation of consonants[26] and vowel alternations (such as rime tensing).
Tone sandhi across Eastern Min varieties can be regressive (where the last syllable affects the pronunciation of those before), progressive (where earlier syllables affect the later ones) or mutual (where both or all syllables change). The rules are generally quite complicated.
Initial assimilation of consonants is usually progressive, and may create new phonemes that are not phonemically contrastive in initial position but do contrast in medial position.[27] A few varieties exhibit regressive assimilation too.
