Noun [Proto-Sino-Tibetan]

Etymology: * Proto-Sino-Tibetan: ? ** Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *s-la (Matisoff, STEDT) Cognate with *lap (“leaf”), *lep ~ ljap (“flat, thin, flat object”); see there for more cognates. This root is the eventual source of the words for "tea" in most non-Sino-Tibetan languages of the world, mostly borrowed from Chinese 茶. Two Chinese sources of borrowing are usually distinguished: # the affricativised varieties (e.g. Beijing Mandarin, Guangzhou Cantonese): which pronounce 茶 with an affricate initial /t͡sʰ, ʈ͡ʂʰ/. #:→English: chai Korean: 차 (cha, “cha”) Japanese: 茶 (ちゃ, cha) Vietnamese: trà, chè # the plosive varieties (e.g. Min Nan) /t/. #:→English: tea Korean: 다 (da, “da”) Japanese: 茶 (だ, da; た ta) The Chinese word might have originally been a loan from Loloish (Tibeto-Burman) *la ("leaf, tea"), as tea may have originated in Sichuan (historically Lolo-speaking area) (Sagart, 1999). Alternatively, Qiu (2000) suggests that it was a semantic extension from the root *la, which yielded 荼 (OC *rlaː, *ɦlja, *l'aː), the name of a bitter plant (Sonchus oleraceus). Additionally, Schuessler (2007) also proposed an Austroasiatic origin for the Proto-Loloish word; as a similar-shaped etymon exists in Austroasiatic: *sla (ibid.) or *slaʔ (Sidwell & Rau, 2015); compare also Proto-Mon-Khmer *slaʔ (“leaf”) (Shorto, 2006: #230), (Modern Mon သၠ (hlaʔ, “leaf”), Khmer ស្លា (slaa, “areca palm”), ស្លឹក (slǝk, “leaf, sheet”), Vietnamese lá (“leaf”).

  "etymology_text": "* Proto-Sino-Tibetan: ?\n** Proto-Tibeto-Burman: *s-la (Matisoff, STEDT)\nCognate with *lap (“leaf”), *lep ~ ljap (“flat, thin, flat object”); see there for more cognates.\nThis root is the eventual source of the words for \"tea\" in most non-Sino-Tibetan languages of the world, mostly borrowed from Chinese 茶. Two Chinese sources of borrowing are usually distinguished:\n# the affricativised varieties (e.g. Beijing Mandarin, Guangzhou Cantonese): which pronounce 茶 with an affricate initial /t͡sʰ, ʈ͡ʂʰ/.\n#:→English: chai\nKorean: 차 (cha, “cha”)\nJapanese: 茶 (ちゃ, cha)\nVietnamese: trà, chè\n# the plosive varieties (e.g. Min Nan) /t/.\n#:→English: tea\nKorean: 다 (da, “da”)\nJapanese: 茶 (だ, da; た ta)\nThe Chinese word might have originally been a loan from Loloish (Tibeto-Burman) *la (\"leaf, tea\"), as tea may have originated in Sichuan (historically Lolo-speaking area) (Sagart, 1999). Alternatively, Qiu (2000) suggests that it was a semantic extension from the root *la, which yielded 荼 (OC *rlaː, *ɦlja, *l'aː), the name of a bitter plant (Sonchus oleraceus).\nAdditionally, Schuessler (2007) also proposed an Austroasiatic origin for the Proto-Loloish word; as a similar-shaped etymon exists in Austroasiatic: *sla (ibid.) or *slaʔ (Sidwell & Rau, 2015); compare also Proto-Mon-Khmer *slaʔ (“leaf”) (Shorto, 2006: #230), (Modern Mon သၠ (hlaʔ, “leaf”), Khmer ស្លា (slaa, “areca palm”), ស្លឹក (slǝk, “leaf, sheet”), Vietnamese lá (“leaf”).\nMore at etymology of tea on Wikipedia.",

Two Chinese sources of borrowing are usually distinguished:\n# the affricativised varieties (e.g. Beijing Mandarin, Guangzhou Cantonese): which pronounce 茶 with an affricate initial /t͡sʰ, ʈ͡ʂʰ/.\n#:→English: chai\nKorean: 차 (cha, “cha”)\nJapanese: 茶 (ちゃ, cha)\nVietnamese: trà, chè\n# the plosive varieties (e.g. Min Nan) /t/.\n#:→English: tea\nKorean: 다 (da, “da”)\nJapanese: 茶 (だ, da; た ta)\nThe Chinese word might have originally been a loan from Loloish (Tibeto-Burman) *la (\"leaf, tea\"), as tea may have originated in Sichuan (historically Lolo-speaking area) (Sagart, 1999). Alternatively, Qiu (2000) suggests that it was a semantic extension from the root *la, which yielded 荼 (OC *rlaː, *ɦlja, *l'aː), the name of a bitter plant (Sonchus oleraceus).\nAdditionally, Schuessler (2007) also proposed an Austroasiatic origin for the Proto-Loloish word; as a similar-shaped etymon exists in Austroasiatic: *sla (ibid.) or *slaʔ (Sidwell & Rau, 2015); compare also Proto-Mon-Khmer *slaʔ (“leaf”) (Shorto, 2006: #230), (Modern Mon သၠ (hlaʔ, “leaf”), Khmer ស្លា (slaa, “areca palm”), ស្លឹក (slǝk, “leaf, sheet”), Vietnamese lá (“leaf”).\nMore at etymology of tea on Wikipedia.",
