摘要
汉语从上古到中古的发展过程中，流音发生了全面的变动：上古**l->中古*j-，上古**r->中古*l-。古汉语复辅音声母到单辅音的简化也发生得较早。但少数台语现在还保留着一系列塞音(或鼻音)跟流音组成的复辅音声母，并没有走汉语流音发展的道路。原始台语或泰文本身反映出的流音及其分布格局，也跟迄今我们所了解到的上古汉语大体对应。流音以及带流音的复辅音声母恰好可以作为一个参照点来探讨汉泰关系词的上古层次。
All of the liquids had been changed in Chinese from ancient times to the middle ancient times: ancient** 1->middle ancient.*j-, ancient **r-> middle ancient *1-. The consonant cluster initials were simplized early too. But some consonant cluster initials consisting of stops and liquids are still preserved in several Tai languages. The liquids and their distribution mode of Proto-Tai and the language recorded by Tai script roughly correspond with those of the ancient Chinese. The liquids and consonant clusters consisting of stops and liquids should be consulting points for the comparative study on Sino-Tai correspondent words in ancient times.
