This paper begins by noting some recent developments in the study of Míng and Qīng Guanhua phonology and the ways in which these have influenced and changed the author’s thinking. These points then lead to reflections on the entire field of post-medieval Chinese phonology. Realizations about the probable nature of premodern koines are linked with the problems of interpreting traditional textual sources. Interactions between koines and regional speech forms are considered, with a view to how comparative and historical dialectology might mesh with the emerging field of Chinese koine studies. Finally, ways in which new work of this type might contribute to research on even earlier periods are briefly outlined.
