Proto-Hakka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proto-Hakka (also called Common Neo-Hakka) is the reconstructed proto-language from which all Hakka varieties descend. Like all branches of the Sinitic language family, proto-Hakka is difficult to reconstruct through the comparative method due to its multistratal lexicon.
