Photocopy of a PhD thesis that draws on the Szeyap (Siyi) dialect of Cantonese to reconstruct ancient Proto-Cantonese (Proto Yue) language, which was the ancestor of modern spoken Cantonese of Guangdong Province and Hong Kong. Szeyap/Siyi actually includes a small number of related dialects (including the best known, Taishanese) which have their origin in an area to the southwest of the Pearl River delta. While both Siyi dialect and standard Cantonese are branches of the same linguistic family, they are very mutually intelligible. The author, W. John McCoy Jr. (1924-2007) was a decorated war hero, linguist, educator and businessman who was deeply engaged with China in one capacity or another for his entire career. 320 pp., punch-hole bound in soft wrappers. Size: 29 x 23 cm.

Most orders are dispatched by latest the day following your order acceptance and many will depart the very same day. Orchid Press CANNOT GUARANTEE the time it will take the postal system to transport your order to your destination address. Increasingly frequently, due to political and other global conditions, delivery times are stretching beyond the 25-45 working day (surface) or 8-14 working day (airmail) estimates that the ABE site quotes. Our delivery completion record is near 100%--that is, we virtually NEVER lose a parcel that we have dispatched. We ask you to please be patient with the current postal situation which is beyond the influence or control of any of us.
