Consider replacing tone numbers 7, 8, 9 in Yale with 1, 3, 6 #1
Comments
is it possible to add a t before the 7/8/9? |
What do you mean by adding a |
入聲 |
I think these two paragraphs about 九聲六調 in Wikipedia should clarify your question. In summary, there are only 6 pitch levels in Cantonese but traditional phonetics considers the duration property in addition to pitch levels when counting the number of tones. Since 入聲 syllables have a shorter duration when pronounced, they are said to have a different "tone". Thus, Cantonese is said to have 9 tones traditionally. However, since there are only 3 入聲 endings in Cantonese (namely p, t, k), it's easy to distinguish them from non-入聲 syllables. Thus, Jyutping and other romanizations didn't use 7, 8, and 9 to mark the three 入聲 tones.
Wikipedia didn't say whether Yale should be using 9 or 6 tones. However, several sources I found showed that Yale follows Jyutping in using the 6 tone notation. |
As defined in various sources, the Yale romanization uses numbers 1-6 exclusively. Number 1, 3, and 6 are used for 上陰入, 下陰入, and 陽入. Please consider replacing tone numbers 7, 8, 9 in Yale with 1, 3, 6. Thanks for developing this awesome lookup table.
"The peculiarity as a result of using tone letter h causes some later versions to discard it altogether and replace the diacritics with tone number: /55/ (or /53/, /5/), /25/, /33/ (or /3/), /21/, /23/, and /22/ (or /2/) are numbered from 1 to 6. In this ‘simplified’ version, yuht yúh and gwóng dūng wá are given as yut6 yu5 and gwong2 dung1 wa2" (emphasis mine).
耶魯拼音一般用聲調符號嚟標調,並且喺陽聲調嘅元音後邊加 h。喺唔方便用聲調符號嗰陣,亦會使用數字標調
粵語廣州話嘅陰平調有 53 同 55 兩種調值,又分別叫「上陰平」同「下陰平」。現代粵語中呢兩種調值一般爲自由變體,冇特別區分,所以粵拼、廣拼、教院方案都用調號 1 代表陰平調;而耶魯、劉錫祥就有區分呢兩種調值。對於三個入聲調,教院方案可用 7、8、9 標,亦可用 1、3、6 標。
Solution
I wrote three simple regular expressions in JavaScript style to replace the tone numbers in pingyambiu.
^([a-z]+)7\t
with$11\t
^([a-z]+)8\t
with$13\t
^([a-z]+)9\t
with$16\t
