Abstract
This thesis consists of a comparative, historical analysis of the initial consonants in Sino-Korean.
Sino-Korean reflexes are compared with the cognates in Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese South Min and Sino-Japanese. The reflexes in the five dialects are also compared with the underlying forms of Ancient Chinese.
Various types of correspondences are established, arid phonological processes behind different correspondences are determined.
