Zero initial syllables are the syllables that aren't beginning with consonants,including the two syllables beginning with the vowel and the semivowel.Zero initial syllables evolved consonants initial syllables which means that the pronunciation of zero initial syllables in the Chinese dialect or borrowed from other race languages became the consonant initial syllables. The phenomenon of zero initial syllables evolving consonant initial syllables widely exists in the Chinese and other race languages,and evolvement form is varied,but it hasn't yet been discovered that someone researched it as a special subject,only referred in the individual works and articles in brief,and studied un-systematically,un-completely and un-technically,and some changes in sound haven't been involved.This text tries to sort through the materials of the Chinese dialects,the other race languages borrowed from Chinese,and the materials investigated from Hebei dialect in order to induce the evolvement forms of zero initial syllables evolving consonant initial syllables,and summarize its evolvement regulation of different evolvement forms.The evolvement form of zero initial syllables turning into consonant initial syllables can be divided into two types of the increasing sound type and the sound turning type.The evolvement of increasing sound type is divided into zero initialâ†'η,zero initialâ†'n,zero initialâ†'(?),zero initialâ†'Îł,zero initialâ†'(?),zero initialâ†'h.The evolvement of the sound turning type is divided into zero initialâ†'(?),zero initialâ†'z,zero initialâ†'(?).This text analyzed different evolvement forms from various angles,and summarized the following regulation:Each evolvement form is not only influenced by the vowel,but also limited by the original sound system of that language. Otherwise,each evolvement form is subjected to the influence of the syllables in front and back in the language flow to evolve other consonant initials.
