Abstract
This paper is a companion and sequel to an earlier study, which dealt with the initials of a late Tang Chinese dialect of the Shazhou area. The name chosen for this hypothetical dialect is "Shazhou T". The present paper deals with the finals of the dialect. The primary basis for the sound categories of this language is Shao Rongfen's study of loangraph substitutions in Buddhist-oriented colloquial texts of late Tang Shazhou. The actual sound values reconstructed for this dialect are considered to be backward projections of the sound systems of certain modern northwest dialects. Specific information on the sound values is gleaned from the Tibetan transcriptions of the Dasheng zhongzong jianjie, which is widely referred to in Tibetological circles as "Text T".
