RE: Foreign Loans in Mandarin Borrowed Through Shanghainese 現代漢語的上海外來語(話為什麼這麼說?)

in #cn6 years ago (edited)

The history of Shanghai, coupled with the phonetic clues I picked out, make it quite likely that these particular words came from Shanghainese rather than Cantonese, which is itself a very rich source of foreign loanwords (to be covered in a future post).

Thank you for the comment!
