This paper discusses the origin and historical development of the -y finals in Yu rime-group-III(遇攝三等)in the dialects at the Hakka-Min boundary in southwestern Fujian. We sequentially compare the phonetic features of Min dialects, Hakka-like dialects, and mixed dialects in Fujian. By referencing the historical, geographical, and ethnic relationships related to these linguistic phenomena, we propose that the -y finals in these Hakka-like dialects are a further development of the ''Common Neo-Hakka'' *iu. Due to the region's position on the periphery of Hakka areas, the influence of the core dialectal sound change from *iu to i is weak. In addition, the area historically had many bilingual speakers of ''Common Neo-Hakka'' and ''Common-She(畲).'' Stimulated by the *y finals in Yu rime-group-III(遇攝三等)in ''Common- She(畲),'' a distinct change from the core Hakka language occurred: *iu developed into y. This change gradually emerged after the Ming and Qing dynasties when the Hakka and She(畲)peoples returned to a close symbiotic relationship. |
