This paper examines a few superficially similar vocabularies shared by Taiwanese Hakka and Taiwanese Southern Min (TSM). After ruling out the possibilities of recent borrowing from TSM, deeper shared linkages are taken into account to investigate the origins of these vocabularies. It is suggested in the paper that Hakka possessed several vocabularies from the early Min or Wu dialects, including the categories of "Hakka de-nasalized to correspond to TSM nasalized rhymes" and "Hakka vocabularies that can be linked to Wu phonological evolution." It also suggested there might have been an Old Jiangdong dialect stratum in Hakka. In this paper, we analyze the phonological strata represented by these vocabularies with Wu or Min components, using this as a basis to explore the issues of etymology and dialectal relationships.
