The distinction between rhymes Yu (魚) and Yu (虞) is preserved in different layers of phonological strata of Sino-Vietnamese. This paper examines the multiple correspondences between rhymes Yu (魚) and Yu (虞) in Sino-Vietnamese by comparing with current research results on Chinese and Vietnamese diachronic phonology and the strata reconstructed from Chinese dialects as Wu, Min, and Gan. Utilizing integrated criteria on both initial and rhyme, two layers of phonological strata are analyzed. The first layer is borrowed from Jinling Qieyun (金陵切韻) of Early Middle Chinese, and the second layer is the main stratum of Sino- Vietnamese borrowed from Late Middle Chinese, which has more variations. It is found that the distinction between rhymes Yu (魚) and Yu (虞) is always clear no matter in the first or the second layer. It is also found that the distinction between rhymes Yu (魚), Yu (虞), and Mo (模) in the main stratum of Sino-Vietnamese is the result of self-adjustment and not the preservation of Qieyun (切韻). |
