上古汉语
上古汉语指的是商朝至汉朝时期的汉语，其语音依照演进又可细分先秦音系与汉代音系。因为上古汉语的构拟不创建在历史比较语言学的基础上，因汉语非采拼音文本，故不能从据于不同时代的「拼法」来推断古读音。此一原则和印欧语不同。
上古音研究的基本方法是从中古汉语（《切韵》音系）倒推上古音。在中古音的基础上，可以用《诗经》的韵部和谐声系列（形声字）来推测古代的发音，还可以用汉语方言的存古特征和一些外部证据（汉藏语系、壮侗语系、苗瑶语系等语言中的汉语同源词和借词）。

Old Chinese 上古汉语
Old Chinese, also called Archaic Chinese in older works, is the form of Chinese spoken from the beginning of written records (around 1200 BC) until the 3rd century BC. The earliest examples of Chinese are divinatory inscriptions on oracle bones from the late Shang dynasty. Bronze inscriptions became plentiful during the following Zhou dynasty. The latter part of the period saw a flowering of literature, including classical works such as the Analects of Confucius, the Mencius, and the Commentary of Zuo. These works served as models for Literary Chinese (or Classical Chinese), which remained the written standard until the early twentieth century, thus preserving the vocabulary and grammar of late Old Chinese.
