Primitive & Mediaeval Japanese Texts - Transliterated into Roman with introductions, notes and glossaries
The pronunciation of Old Japanese follows a very simple scheme. There are the five vowels, a, e, i, o, u, and no diphthongs, and the following consonants and digraphs b, ch, d, dz, f, g, h, j, k, m, n, r, s, sh, t, ts, w, y, z, zh. The syllables are all open, and consist of Sixty-four open syllables in all, out of 105 possible ones, of which and their various agglutinations the whole language is made up. The vowels are pronounced as in Italian, a being the accented a, e and o the open sounds. The vowel u is English u in put, never as in rut or lute. The vowels a, e, o are half-long, i and u are shorter, and u shortest of all. Value is given to each syllable, subject as above, with scarcely any ictus (as in French), but the last syllable of a word, especially in u, is always weakest, and the penultimate rather the strongest. The consonants are pronounced as in English, h well aspirated, but rather forward, even between vowels, z as in zany, zh as the s in pleasure, f may have descended from an original p, with h and w. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
