Abstract: Sino-Tibetan is a large linguistic family distributing in Southern East Asia, comprises hundreds of languages, and can be further classified into Sinitic, Tibeto-Burman, Daic, Hmong-Mien, Austronesian, and Austro-Asiatic subfamilies. By the time, there are different opinions of the members and structure of this family. Furthermore, the phonetic inventory of Sino-Tibetan is seldom studied. I have studied many languages within this family, and found many clues to the phonetic inventory of the proto-Sino-Tibetan, e.g., syllabic structure, consonants, vowels, origin of tones. I would also like to discuss about the method of proto-Sino-Tibetan reconstruction and the nomenclature of the family.

Key words: Sino-Tibetan, Phonetic inventory, theory and method of proto language reconstruction

摘要：汉藏语系是分布在东南亚地区的一个大语系，有数百种类型各异的语言，这些语言分属汉语、藏缅语、侗台语、苗瑶语、南岛语和南亚语6大语言集团。目前对该语系的外延和内涵都有很多不同的意见。对于他的语音系统很少有文章讨论。本文在个人长期开展汉藏语系具体语言研究的基础上，提出原始汉藏语语音系统中的许多具体问题，如音节结构、辅音系统、元音系统、声调产生机制，并就构拟方法、语系名称等开展讨论。

关键词：汉藏语系; 语音系统; 构拟的理论和方法
