I've read that there are more than 8000 such syllables (DeFrancis, _The Chinese Language: Fact and Fantasy_, U. of Hawaii). Good luck compiling a list! (N.B.: Those are phonetically distinct syllabes, not graphically distinct.) Incidentally, Japanese has just over 100 syllables. --Scott Horne BITNET: PHORNE@CLEMSON (not working; please use another address) uucp: ....!gatech!hubcap!scarle!{hazel,citron,amber}!shorne (If that doesn't work, send to cchang@hubcap.clemson.edu) SnailMail: Scott Horne 812 Eleanor Dr. Florence, SC 29501 VoiceNet: 803 667-9848
