Mandarin Chinese Vocabulary
The vocabulary contains 2130 meaning-word pairs from the recipient language Mandarin Chinese . The corresponding text chapter was published in the book "Loanwords in the World's Languages". The language page Mandarin Chinese contains a list of all loanwords arranged by donor languoid.
The word is given in the usual orthography or transcription, and in the usual citation form.
Click on a word to get even more information than is shown in this table.
The Loanword Typology code is the identifier of the Loanword Typology meaning.
Sorting by LWT Code sorts the words thematically by semantic field.
This column shows the labels of the Loanword Typology meanings. By clicking on a
meaning label, you get more information about the meaning, as well as a list of
all words that are counterparts of that meaning.
There are five borrowed statuses, reflecting decreasing likelihood that the word is a loanword:
- clearly borrowed
- probably borrowed
- perhaps borrowed
- very little evidence for borrowing
- no evidence for borrowing
This is the time period during which the word is hypothesized to have come into the
language as a loanword, or during which it is first attested, or for which it can be reconstructed.
This gives the usual written form for languages that do not use the Latin script.
For (possible) loanwords, this column shows the words in the source languages that served as models.
