 Marjorie K.M. Chan: "A Response to Boltz' Notes on Cantonese Dentilabialization"
The dialect used in the phoneticization was, in fact, Zhongshan, and it is precisely the difference in the phonological systems of Zhongshan and Cantonese which invalidates Boltz' tentative conclusions on the dating of Cantonese dentilabialization.
As a result of different phonological conditioning between Cantonese and Zhongshan, dentilabialization in the latter occurs in fewer rhymes, affecting only those in which the reflex is not a high back vowel.
Like the Zhongshan Shekki dialect today, the Sino-Portuguese data shows that labialization was preserved before low vowels at that time, reflecting either the speech of the transcriber only or eighteenth century Macao dialect in general.
