Initial voice - Seibo (English spelling)

Japanese: 声母 - せいぼ(英語表記)initial
Initial voice - Seibo (English spelling)
A term in Chinese phonology that refers to the initial consonant of a syllable (not including the [j] or [w] that follows it). Chinese syllables are formed by combining initial consonants and final sounds, with tones overlaying the whole. Modern Mandarin Chinese "long" (cháng) is interpreted as /čaŋ 2 /, with the initial consonant /č/ and the final sound /aŋ/, plus the addition of a tone (2 tones). Similarly, the initial consonant of "ma" (horse) is /m/, and the initial consonant of "gao" (high) is /g/. The 36 characters in the Yunjing roughly represent the system of initial consonants in Middle Chinese.

Japanese:
中国音韻学の用語で,音節初頭子音(それに続く[j]や[w]は含まない)をさす。中国語の音節は,声母と韻母が結びつき,全体に声調がかぶさって成立している。現代北京語の「長」chángは/čaŋ2/と解釈され,その声母は/č/,韻母は/aŋ/で,そのうえに声調(2声)が加わっている。同様に「馬」の声母は/m/,「高」の声母は/g/である。『韻鏡』の 36字母は,中古音の声母の体系をほぼ代表するものである。
