Pizhou Dialect is a piece of Xuzhou dialect in the Mandarin area of ??the Central Plains in the northern Mandarin area.

Among them, for example: all medieval fully voiced initials are pronounced as fully voiceless initials, and the correspondence between aspirated and unaspirated is relatively strict; there are no stop consonants at the end of vowels, etc.

The pronunciation of Pizhou dialect is relatively close to Beijing pronunciation, but the biggest difference from Mandarin is vocabulary and grammar.

Since Pizhou is geographically located on the southeastern edge of the northern Mandarin area, close to Lianyungang, Guanyun, Siyang, Huaiyin, Huai'an, etc. in the Jianghuai dialect area to the east and the Jiaoliao dialect area to the north, it retains the Central Plains In addition to the basic characteristics of Mandarin, it also retains some characteristics of Jianghuai dialect.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that the Pizhou dialect is unique. Historically, there have been relatively few studies on Pizhou dialect in dialectology research. Mainly, the dialect differences between Pizhou and Xuzhou are not very big, and some scholars have conducted in-depth discussions on the Xuzhou dialect. (For example: the published "Xuzhou Dialect Chronicles" written by Li Shen Chinese Publishing House, 1985, "Xuzhou Dialect Dictionary" edited by Li Rong, Jiangsu Education Press 1996, etc.)
