The Effects of Archaic Chinese on Han dialect in Literary Works and Ancient Records: Taking the Development of Gan Dialect as an Example

摘要

With the consulting of the relative literary works and ancient records, it can be clearly seen that the vocabularies of Gan dialect, with a long history, are complicated and diversified. The language sources stem from not only the basic lexical components of the languages of Miaoman and Baiyue, but also the leftover and borrowed lexical components of the languages of Wuchu and other ancient dialects. The most important influence comes from the basic lexical components of ancient Chinese, which has a vital impact on the formation of Gan dialect as well as its development.
