  Bernhard Karlgren - Plagiarism on Wikipedia
Bernhard Karlgren (1889 - 1978) was a Swedish sinologist and eminent philologist, and the founder of Swedish sinology as a scholarly discipline.
Karlgren was first to use European-style principles of historical linguistics to study the Chinese language, and reconstructed what he believed were the phonetics of what is now called Middle Chinese, as well as the phonetics of Old Chinese.

Bernhard Karlgren (1889 - 1978) was a Swedish sinologist and eminent philologist, and the founder of Swedish sinology as a scholarly discipline.
Karlgren studied at Uppsala University between 1907-1909, where he majored in Russian under Professor J. Lundell, a Slavicist interested in comparative phonology, and decided that he wanted to apply the methods of comparative historical phonology to Chinese, which had not yet been so studied.

Karlgren’s discussion of these famous ritual vessels and animals is stimulating and enlightening, for his observations and theories cover many aspects of an art that still presents perplexing problems.
Such information is part of the general knowledge concerning Chinese bronzes; it is Dr. Karlgren’s theories and conclusions with regard to special aspects of the vessels and the civilization they represent that contribute to the value of his catalogue of the Pillsbury bronzes.
Karlgren has always maintained that a chronological scheme based on historical periods rather than on stylistic periods, which display definite developments in the bronze art, is unsatisfactory and false.

Karlgren uses a current version of IPA at the time of writing (first publication was 1923).
Karlgren shows the IPA of Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese, and please note, these are not "romanizations" or "transliterations".
What Karlgren wrote is that Cantonese middle Ru Sheng is marked with a circle instead of a half-circle, and in the expected position of bottom-right side of the word.

Karlgren also made significant contributions to the study of ancient Chinese religion and of early bronzes.
While for Karlgren sinology was mainly the study of the classical Chinese language and culture, Malmqvist has broadened the concept to include the modern era.

 Literary Chinese Viewed in the Light of Literary Latin
Karlgren stresses that the far greater phonetic diversity of that period, the abundance of sound distinctions which are no longer made in modern, particularly northern, Chinese meant that the language was much clearer to the ear, less ambiguous, than it would seem from pronouncing it as if it were modern Chinese.
Karlgren has concurred that not even in the third century B.C.E. when literary activity was at a peak was there a standard literary language uninfluenced by the author's own dialect.
Bernhard Karlgren cited the example of an edict posted about the country to illustrate the effect of the flexible phonetic nature of the script:

Following introductory studies of Chinese under the great Swedish Sinologist Bernhard Karlgren at Stockholm University College, Malmqvist studied in China between 1948 and 1950.
From the time after his election to the Swedish Academy in 1985, the over-five-hundred-page memoir on his teacher Bernhard Karlgren is of particular note: Bernhard Karlgren – ett forskarporträtt (1995; ‘Bernhard Karlgren – portrait of a scholar’).
With exceptional insight and distinctness he here follows Karlgren’s path through the pioneering era of Sinology from his early dialectological fieldwork in China (1910–1912), which made it possible to reconstruct the sound pattern of mediaeval Chinese, to the astounding reconstruction of Old Chinese.

What the great Bernhard Karlgren did for historical phonology, E Bruce Brooks and A Taeko Brooks have done for the analysis of ancient Chinese texts.
Of course, both Karlgren and the Brookses have their predecessors in China, Japan, and the West.
But it was Karlgren and the Brookses who first established their respective Sinological subfields as rigorous, systematic disciplines and who first applied these disciplines in a coherent and thorough fashion.

 When you ask the average sinologist intersted in historical linguistics what he or she considers the most important ...
This is not to suggest, of course, that Karlgren came out of the void as some kind of inscrutable prodigy of sinological learning.
He was firmly rooted in a long and glorious tradition of Chinese phonological, semasiological, and evidential research, which, in the form of Duan Yucai’s (1735-1815) Gu shiqi bu xiesheng biao [Table of phonophoric series in the old seventeen rime groups], had even produced a fairly well-known structural model for the compilation of the GSR.

 Numerals - SE Asian Readings of Characters
The ChaoZhou-ShanTou unified transcription mentions that the -n is a nasalisation of the preceeding vowel rather than a consonant ending and -h is a glottal stop, though the latter (8) is not shown in Karlgren's IPA representations.
Karlgren's reconstructions shown here are from 1915, and may have been superceeded by other reconstructions by other eminent linguists of the Chinese language.
We have not relied too much on Karlgren's readings, rather, they were used as a handy reference to possible sounds of Chinese many centuries ago.

Published in the early part of this century, Bernhard Karlgren's classic work Etudes sur la phonologie chinoise laid the foundation in western sinology for the scientific reconstruction of Chinese pronunciation.
A comparison of both EMC and LMC with Karlgren's "Ancient Chinese," as he called the Qieyun language, is given in one of the appendices to the book.
A second appendix gives a new reconstruction of Early Mandarin (EM) of the 13th and 14th century as presented in the Zhongyuan yin yun, a rhyme dictionary of the early 14th century.

Ancient Chinese, the spoken Chinese of the Warring States, and Middle Chinese, the form spoken in the Age of Fragmentation and Tang dynasty, have had to be reconstructed from written sources by linguistics experts like the late Bernhard Karlgren.
Karlgren based most his of research on the rhyme and fanqie tables compiled during the Tang, Song, Ming dynasties.
Most of the organizational and compilation work was already done long before he came; all he did was to generate a phonology from that.

Finally he sought the help of the great sinologist, Bernhard Karlgren, and was so dazzled by the hint of poetic possibilities in Karlgren's interpretations that he changed his course of studies from Latin to Chinese.
In 1948, near the end of the Chinese Civil War, Malmqvist went to the heartland of China to study regional Chinese dialects.
After Karlgren's death, Malmqvist became the most prominent Swedish sinologist.

Categorization of the development of Chinese is a subject of scholarly debate.
One of the first systems was devised by the Swedish linguist Bernhard Karlgren; what follows is a modern revision of his system.
Old Chinese, sometimes known as 'Archaic Chinese', was the language common during the early and middle Zhou Dynasty (11th to 7th centuries B.C.), texts of which include inscriptions on bronze artifacts, the poetry of the Shijing, the history of the Shujing, and portions of the Yijing (I Ching).

Some scholars, including some foreign pathbreakers like Bernhard Karlgren, have made good use of the phonetic elements in reconstructing the pronunciation of earlier stages of Chinese.
Specialists like Karlgren (1940: 187) may be able to correct Soothill's misplacement of this character under the phonetic mén by noting that it is a derivative made up by combining elements which include key no.169 'door' and a rare phonetic (the bottom part of the character) which had the early pronunciation kwan:
