PREFACE. 
 
 -ooJCJo 
 
 TiiK present work diU'ers in one respect IVoni all other works on 
 th<> Swatow language previously published, us it has beun com- 
 piled by one to whom it is a mother ton^jue and who has learned 
 English, instead of by a European who has Iwu-ned Chinese, so 
 that it has been pcssiblo to eonline the sentonees .ttridlii to the 
 colloquial form. It is almost impossible for a European to com- 
 jiile any such aid so as to be entirely colloquial, because he com- 
 nuMicrs his first study of the lani^uage by eiigagiug a Chinese 
 teacher and aciiuires his knowledge of Chinese principally from 
 that class. These teachers are in the habit of importing into 
 their speech a certain number of " bookiah " words, that is, 
 words which are only used in the ^^■ritten bmguage, and are never 
 used in the colloquial, and are not therefore understood by the 
 people in general. To accpiire the pure coUoiiuial it is better to 
 stiirl with the early study of the langtuige from another class 
 rather than from a pedant like the teachei- class. Learned men 
 indeed add a few poUte or pedantic phrases, but these are only 
 used on certain occasions and are mere (wiiescences. 
 
 The chief disadvantage of inserting book words in- phrase 
 books is that the student after discovering that a certain number 
 of words given therein when used are not understood l)y the 
 people, is led to doubt whether some other words used would be 
 understood. Thus the student has to en([uire and ascertain 
 those words which may seem to him doubtful before he 
 rsos them. Readers of the present work will be a,bli^ to use evc'ry 
 word occurring throughout the whole volume without having any 
 doubt of its being understood.

 HI 
 
 CONSONANTS. 
 
 Most of the consonants are pronounced as in English, or 
 verj^ nearly so. ■• ■ ' -•*! 
 
 ch — always as in cheese. : ' _ 
 
 g — is always hard. 
 
 h — ^is always really pronounced, except ^yllen linal. 
 - j — always as in judge. - ^ ■ ■ ' > 
 
 ng — as in kmr/, cub off Jci will leave the exact nasal sound of ng. 
 s— as in so«.i7, never as in c/(oose, /osf. ■' ! 
 
 z — always as fZs or fk; never as in ,:C((/, ^oiU'. 
 k, p, and t, — as final consonants are pronounced without' the 
 'Slightest emission- of vocal breath a=? there usually is in 
 pronouncing English. no '^r. 
 
IIJ. 
 
 Ill and. _ng— -will. bo , found \yvitteii \yitliout any, vowel ,(e. g. ng, 
 m, m) ; often fblso preceded liy a consonant ( e. gr.sngi 
 lm<:, kng-) "The nature ot'thesj syllables wiLliont a 
 distinct, vowel b-conies at once, unmistakable in sii)^',ing-, 
 as at s.uch a vvqrdiill. clear vocal sound, a,t once eeascs'and 
 nothing is h^ar;d but, a, dull aasaj murmur. '; , , 
 
 " The Aspirated Coiisonants, are a very ren-^arkable feature 
 ni all thejanguagtis of China, and require very special attention. 
 They ar,e,kh, ph.tli, chh andtsh, 3;lie sounds are the,,Ba(me as 
 those indicated by the same notation, hi the languages Qf, India, 
 being formed by a real distinct ,aspiratioi,i pronounced after the 
 
 respective .consonants, ,.,....,.... The sound s,, ar.e aln;iost th,e 
 
 same as those often used by Irishmen when , pronoun.cing w'ith a 
 strong brogue such words as come, ■pifi, d:a.; they are alpo often 
 .heard in the mouths of the Scottish Highlanders. ,,, , 
 
 "kh— may be thus described :^— Pronounce ...look }ie,rc! 
 
 rapidly and clearly, cut off /,r)-and-r,c, and you have the 
 ' Chinese " l<hi."' 
 
 "ph — ^^might be illustrated in a similar manner ;—e. g. say loo'p- 
 hoie very rapidly and sharply,' cut off Z.-^o-anrl-Ze fi'om the 
 two ends, and there remains the Chino^o "plio. " , 
 
 "th — must not be confounded with the English iJi, which is really 
 a simple sound. The Chinese th is a clear distinct t fol- 
 lowed by the aspirate. Thus, the Chinese " than" may he 
 carved out of out-house or hot-house. 
 
 "chh — is formed in a similar way from the ch of church. Take 
 such a word as watch-h^use or coach-house, remove the wa- 
 or coa- from the beginning and the -se from the end, and 
 something very near the Chinese "chhau" remains.* 
 
 tsh — is almost the same as chh, the slight difference it has is 
 that there is not so much sound of h as in chh. 
 
 oh — is not an aspirated consonant as explained above, it is 
 always pronounced as in cheese. 
 
 * From Dk. Gakstairs Douglas's Dictionary of the Auicy Vernjic^na}:, wnicJi 
 dialect is cloEely, allied lo that of bwatow. This admirable work has been an 
 invaluable assistance to students of the SwatoAV Vernacular. 
 
IV. 
 
 A small ° written above the line at the end of a syllable 
 indicates that the whole syllable becomes nasal. 
 
 From the various dialects in the Swatow region that of the 
 Departmental city known as Ch'ao-chow-foo, ( or Tie-cbiu-lm in 
 this dialect, ) has been chosen, although that of the department 
 of Theng Hai is more extensively spoken in Singapore and 
 perhaps in Swatow also. This work makes no pretence of being 
 more than introductory, and the sentences are such as may be 
 heard from the lips of the natives in every day use, while 
 the little dictionary attached to it will undoubtedly be found 
 useful. For many English words there are several Chinese 
 colloquial equivalents, and in the little dictionary two or more 
 of these arc frequently given . But there are, no doubt, others 
 which have been inadvertently omitted, and in case of doubt as 
 to any word which does not appear, the student will have no 
 difficulty in ascertaining whether the word that is omitted is in 
 common use, as he can enquire from any one who speaks the 
 dialect, however uneducated he may be. 
 
 In conclusion the author has to thank the Eev. J. A. 
 B. Cook for aid in bringing out the work.

 TOXES. 
 
 There are four great classes of tones— 1st., Phe" ; 2nd. Siung ; 3rd. Ehu ; 
 4th. Jip. In the Swatow Colloquial, eight separate tones are distinguished 
 from one another: — 
 
 1- -h^ Chie°-phe" as ^ tsai, to know. 
 
 2. T^ E-phe° „ ^" lai, to covre. 
 
 3. _r.^ Siang-sia" 
 
 4. ±^ Chie"-khu 
 
 5. T^ E-khu 
 
 6. ^^ Khu-sia° 
 
 7. JlA Chie"-jip 
 a. TA E-jip 
 
 '/^: hai, the sea. 
 ^ chhi, to try. 
 y^ lau, old: 
 ■^ koi, easy. 
 ^ hiah, to stop. 
 ^ hieh, leaves. 
 
 INFLECTIONS OP THE TONES. 
 
 When a syllable is connected with another by a hyphen, the former loses 
 its original tone, and the latter retains it in full force. There are exceptions 
 in the case of the first and sixth tones, which, though these are connected 
 with other syllables, are not changed, but the rest are thus changed :— 
 
 The second becomes the sixth. 
 The third becomes ihe fifth. 
 The fourth becomes the third. 
 Th.& fifth h&cbm.&B ihe fourth. 
 The seveiith becomes the eiyhtli. 
 The eighth becomes the seventh. 
 As:—

 HYPHENS. 
 
 On this admittedly difficult subject, I transcribe a few remarks from one well qualified to 
 speak having made this a study. 
 
 " The general idea involved in the use of hyphens is to link together those 
 syllables which are so closely connected that the tones of certain of them are 
 affected by the connexion. This principal, however, is not carried out to the 
 full extent, because in many cases the words thus influencing one another 
 would be too numerous to link together in this manner. " But it will 
 be observed that there is one ease in which hyphens must always be 
 employed, viz. when two or more syllables form cne word, as J^^-^ 
 chie"-kua, foreaoon, ^^ tsu-chheh, a book, ^^^ Tai-eng-kok, 
 England, {¥a!^^ iap-iap-sih, twinkling. 
 
 "A Double Hyphen implies that the word preceding it retains its own 
 proper tone in full force, and that the word or words following it are either 
 enclitic or unaccented, and as far as possible deprived of distinctive tonal 
 character, " as, 
 
•i'l Lesson X. 
 
 ■j^^' jip--lai, come in, W^ tshue-tieh, found, ^"J" lai-ll, has 
 come, ^,^7 liah-tieh-lo, has been caught, ^^^^ khTt-khi-Iai, 
 
 stand up. 
 
 " The use of hyphens, though most essential, is yet difficult to regulate by 
 any stringent law, and much must be left to discretion. " 
 
 Lesson X. 
 Grammar. 
 
 Substantives and Adjectives are not declined: the same word i-xpresses 
 both the singular and the plural. Pronouns have a plural form. 
 
 Sinyiilar. it^ f^ j Plural. 
 
 555 Ua, I. H7Co"h Un or nan, we. 
 
 13 Lu, thou or you. ^, Nin, ye or ycu. 
 
 {^ I, he, she, it. Hjo'W y\ In or i--nang, they, them. 
 
 The distinctions of moods, tenses, numbers and persons are shewn by the 
 additionof certain auxiliary verbs orparticles, as follows: — 
 
 INDICATIVE MOOD. 
 
 PBESENT TENSE. 
 
 ^^ Ua lai I come.

Lesson X. 
 
 PAST TENSE. 
 
 43 
 
 The inortt common signs of the Past Tense are ;|f iTand # cheng, and 
 are employed chiefly in asking questions and in giving answers, but seldom 
 when a subject is simply being spoken of, viz. — 
 
 -^J^fJ^I pun ua He gave me. 
 
 # fl^' ^ I *sa-jit lai He came yesterday. 
 
 # Cf H #^^ -^ I tsa-jit u lai a-bo ? ... Did he come yesterday or 
 
 not ? 
 
 I tsa-jit m-cheng lai, or i He did not come yesterday, 
 tsa-jit bo-lai 
 
 ^^PBW^o^] ^^ *^^"J^* cheng-lai, or I did come yesterday. 
 
 U^ H :t^

 PERFECT TENSE. 
 
 The chief signs of the Perfect Tense are J liou, J£ chia", ^- pat, 
 ^ "' ^ bue, and ^^ a-bue. 
 
 Liou* y (finish) can only be used to subjects being spoken of, and 
 cannot be used in asking questions, viz. — 
 
 .^^y I lai--lo • He has come. 
 
 ^^y trn tsai--lo We have known. 
 
 O^ij J In kau— lo ... They have arrived. 
 
 * This word is so unaccented, that it is always sounded 2o instead of }iou '^^^■^ it comes after 
 a Double hyphen. 
 
44 
 
 Lesson X. 
 
 Chia" "p (just) and |^ pat (ever) can be used both to questions and 
 answers, viz. — 
 
 te-p^Ichia^-lai... > He has just come. 
 
 ig lU. g^ Tr tJi Lii chi-tsun chia" -lai ? ... Have you j ust now Come ? 
 Ml§^i^5l^lti^'S' ^^ *^^ pat--lai--chie me ?... Have you ever been here
