A Syllabic Dictionary of the Chinese Language
A Syllabic Dictionary of the Chinese Language: Arranged According to the Wu-Fang Yuen Yin, with the Pronunciation of the Characters as Heard in Peking, Canton, Amoy, and Shanghai or the Hàn-Yīng yùnfǔ 漢英韻府 (1874), compiled by the American sinologist and missionary Samuel Wells Williams, is the third major Chinese-English dictionary after Robert Morrison's (1815-1823) A Dictionary of the Chinese Language and Walter Henry Medhurst's (1842) Chinese and English Dictionary. Williams' 1056-page bilingual dictionary includes 10,940 character headword entries, alphabetically collated under 522 syllables. Williams was the first Chinese-English lexicographer to correctly distinguish the phonemic contrast between unaspirated-aspirated stop consonant pairs, for instance, giving t'ao for aspirated táo
