Hashimoto Mantarō (橋本 萬太郎, 26 November 1932 – 7 June 1987) was a Japanese sinologist and linguist who is best known for advocating research on language geography, linguistic typology, and how different areal features in the varieties of Chinese (such as tonal distinctions) reflect contact with other language families.
