近年來，有兩種重要羌語語言學著作《羌語簡志》、《麻窩羌語研究》問世。本文根據對羌語實際調查的認識，對其北部羌語麻窩話的音系分析提出了評論。文中討論的問題包括滑音、元音e、複輔音聲母中前置輔音之音系地位，以及強弱重音與弱化性語音規律之關係。針對上述分析問題，本文提出了較簡單或更恰當之替代分析方案，牽涉語料本身之疑難處，也作出進 一步田調方向之建議。

This paper provides a critical review of the analysis of Northern Qiang phonology (Mawo dialect), as presented in two major recent publications on Qiang linguistics. A number of problematic areas will be discussed, including the status of the glides, the vowel e, and certain types of consonant clusters, as well as the global issue of how phonology should properly reflect the interactions between stress and certain weakening processes. Analyses which seem simpler or more realistic will be offered; directions for further field investigation will also be suggested in the more dubious cases.
