The present study explores rhyme correspondences between Finnic (~ Uralic) and Sinitic languages, taking the Finnish -ala and -aja rhymes as an example. Two rhyme correspondences are established: (1) Finnish -ala ⇔ Mandarin [-(ŭ̯)əˑn] ⇔ Cantonese [-(Ê·)ÉnË‘] ⇔ Taiwanese [-uË‘n]; (2) Finnish -aja ⇔ Mandarin [-(ŭ̯)ɑˑŋ] ⇔ Cantonese [-(Ê·)o̞ˑŋ] ⇔ Taiwanese [-o̞ˑŋ]. The rhyme correspondences are supplied with ten Sino-Finnic (including Uralic) shared etymological items.
