- Middle Gan
-
Middle Gan (中世贛語, Zung-si Gon-ngi) corresponds to the Gan language from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. The last time of large-scale settlement in Jiangxi by people from Zhongyuan took place due to the An Shi Rebellion and Gan language also became stabilized since the period.
Research on the rhyming system of Jiangxi poets of this period is made in order to study the linguistic form of Middle Gan. Scholars find out the Modern Gan languages still keep many linguistic characteristics of this historical layer.[1] For example:
- Rime 尤侯 corresponds to Rime 蕭豪
- Rime 支微 corresponds to Rime 魚模
- Rime 魚模 corresponds to Rime 家麻
- Rime 皆來 corresponds to Rime 支微
- Rime 監廉 corresponds to Rime 寒先
- Rime 庚青 corresponds to Rime 江陽
