摘要/Abstract

本文通过对晚近客家方言声调及客家方言近二百年的演变历史的探讨，认为次浊声母字在四声中规律二分现象是客方言声调的最大特色。

Based on the study of the pre-modern Hakka tone and its development of 2oo years, this paper concludes that the tonal dichotomy of the characters with the secondary Voiced initials is the most important feature of the tone in Hakka Dialect.
