Abstract：It is fundamental to sort out the “Homonyms Glossary of Chinese Dialect” for dialect investigation. This paper describes the process of design and development of the “Homonyms Glossary of Chinese Dialect” automatic generation system. Once the sorting standard for the vowels, consonants and tones are set by the user, the sorting of input dialect glossary can be started. The sorting method used in our software is a quadruple loop corresponding to vowels, consonants, intonation and all words of the input glossary. And finally the vertical homonyms glossary is generated. Experimental evidence proves that the system is fully capable to meet the practical needs of dialect investigation.
