List of rivers of Menghe
This page contains a list of major rivers that are partially or entirely located in Menghe. The rivers are listed in order by the point at which they empty into the sea, starting in Northeast Menghe and countinuing clockwise around the country from there, and are grouped into subheaders based on the sea they empty into. An indent indicates that a river is a tributary of the river one level above it, and tributaries of a river are listed in order from downstream to upstream, without regard to whether they are left- or right-side tributaries. Rivers in italics are main stems of rivers originating in Menghe, but do not themselves flow through Menghean territory.
The Menghean language distinguishes between three kinds of river: Ha (河) for large rivers, Gang (江) for mid-size rivers, and Chŏn (川) for small rivers. Most rivers known to Menghean civilization were named before the introduction of the sinmun alphabet during the Yi dynasty, and therefore include gomun characters in their names. In some cases the gomun characters have a specific meaning (e.g., Ungchŏn 熊川 as "Bear River"), while in most other cases the river's name is purely phonetic and includes a unique character, often with the three-dot water radical, with no meaning other than the river's name (e.g., the Tae river 溙江). In still other cases, particularly in ethnic minority regions, Menghean cartographers used an existing name from a foreign language. Rivers in Lakkian-majority regions are a special case, as the Lakkian language adopted gomun characters but assigned different pronunciations to them. In this list, rivers are first listed under their official Menghean name, with parentheses containing the gomun characters and/or minority-language pronunciation.
The linguistic evolution of the Menghean language and the introduction of the sinmun alphabet gave rise to a situation where many rivers bore names with the same pronunciation and the same sinmun spelling. To remedy this situation, the River Name Reform of 1914 added prefixes or suffixes to some river names, but only in cases where both rivers were of the same type (gang or chŏn) as this would distinguish their names in Menghean. Thus, of the three Min Rivers that existed before 1914, the Min River that flows into the Meng River was renamed as the Sanmin or "Mountainous Min" River (山岷江, Sanmingang), while the Min River in the Chŏllo plain retained its original name (閩江, Mingang), as did the Min River (渂川) in Gyŏngsan province, which in Menghean is pronounced Minchŏn. In some cases the literal translation also made its way into Anglian sources; in these cases the translation is listed in parentheses within the river name, e.g., "Dongsu (Eastern Su) River (東渞川)"
