From previous research, at home and abroad, lots of researchers have studied the question about consonant rhythm-end of Chinese characters of Sino-Korean. Firstly, in point of the discussion about the consonant rhythm-end of Korean language, it was concentrated in the transformation from ancient Chinese rhythm-end [-t] to the pronunciation of rhythm-end [-l] in Korean of Chinese characters. As for the consonant rhythm-end of Chinese, it was focused on the transformation from the nasal rhythm-end [-m] of ancient Chinese to [-n]. Most Researchers mainly analyzed by rhythm books, tables of ancient China, voice control and translation, or on the basis of some singular dialect, which were short of a whole comprehension. In my paper, via using the language geography with the reference to previous methods of research, the period and process of transformation in the pronunciation of Chinese ʻ-p, -t, -kʼ and nasal rhythm-end ʻ-m, -n, -ŋʼ in Chinese and Korean has been studied. From each dialect of 41 regions, we chose representative characters. Every word were selected as survey site in present paper including one from Korean to make a map of dialect and discuss the cause of formation and sort them according to the type of consonant rhythm-end and nasal rhythm-end. As a result, the vary process of consonant rhythm-end was summarized as 8 stages according to their synchronicity and that of nasal rhythm-end was 5 kinds of change types.
