Is it possible to reconstruct a conversational exchange between two people using old Chinese, or Middle Chinese? I would definitely like to hear it.

[Phjong]

@TaiGekTou

Yes it's totally possible.

Here's one piece from a TV series that we dubbed with Old Chinese:

Conversations in Middle Chinese would be an interesting project also. No plans right now, though.

[CaoNiMa401]

The R's, make it sound like Cambodian. No other language sounds closer to this.

[Phjong]

@CaoNiMa401

My accent causes that. Well I'm not from Cambodia though.

我记得王力的反对上古汉语双辅音的，郑张尚芳这里应该是跟高本汉­重构的一样吧。还有王力认为上古汉语有平、上、长入、短入四声，­按此处的音标，好像没有标识出声调，是因为依照的“古无四声”说­吗？

[Phjong]

是因為聲調已經完全由韻尾表現了，聲調本身的存無就不是很要緊了­。

@Phjong Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for. It's very interesting, I hope to see more.

粵語﹕ 母子﹕ Zai na; 母雞﹕ gai na; 女字在這模擬發音的短片中的發音是 na.女字舊時可能用來表示雌性。

閩南話﹕ 用來形容一女子的性格特別是性反面很開放(這裡指貶義) 的發音與 " 淑" 的模擬發音一樣。 河字的發音與何字一樣是gaal, 而何字的舊意思是搬﹔ 拿﹐ 閩南話的拿字就讀gaal,
