This study not only tries to reconstruct the consonant system of Middle-Old Tibetan, but also provides proof for my proposition that the period of Middle-Old Tibetan (from the middle of the 7th century to the second half of the 9th century, A.D.) was the time when the original Tibetan voiced consonants were devoiced and tonogenesis occurred. I have used three kinds of source materials: (1) extant old Tibetan documents and books, as well as wooden slips and bronze or stone tablets dating from the 7th century to the 9th century; (2) 7th to 9th century transcribed (translated or transliterated) materials between Tibetan and other languages, especially Chinese transcriptions of Tibetan documents and Tibetan transcriptions of Chinese documents; (3) linguistic data from various dialects of Modern Tibetan. The present study also tries to raise two important points in regard to the evolution of the Tibetan language: (1) During the process by which the ancient voiced consonants were changing to modern voiceless aspirated consonants, there was a stage when those consonants were voiceless unaspirated, e.g., Early-Old Tibetan *b > Middle-Old Tibetan *p > Modern Tibetan *ph. Tibetan tones began to take shape during this intermediate stage. (2) Tibetan writing represents the phonological system of Early Old Tibetan, not that of Middle-Old Tibetan. In the latter period the spoken language was already different from its written language.
