Where is the origin of Minnan dialect?

The source of Minnan dialect is the early Middle Ages (Wu dialect of Dongtai language family mixed with Chinese).

Baidu searched for "Middle Ancient Chinese" videos, and most of the readings in Middle Ancient Chinese and Minnan were the same.

That is, the native Minnan language. Zhangzhou and Quanzhou are the birthplaces of various Minnan languages in linguistics, and all Minnan languages originated from Zhangzhou dialect and Quanzhou dialect. There are some differences between Zhang and Quan dialects, mainly in phonology, but there is a strict correspondence between them. Grammar and words are basically the same. Both the Xiamen dialect and the Taiwanese dialect, which have appeared since Ming and Qing Dynasties, are directly mixed from the dialects of counties (cities) in Zhang Quan, and they all embody the characteristics of "being both Zhang Quan and Zhang Quan". Based on this, Xiamen dialect and Taiwan dialect are also regarded as typical Minnan dialects by people at home and abroad. The Minnan language of Fujian-Taiwan films is relatively unified internally. When it comes to the representative language of Minnan, everyone will say that it is Xiamen dialect. Today, it is true, but judging from the history of the emergence and development of Minnan dialect, the standard pronunciation of Minnan dialect has evolved.

Min dialect is also called Min dialect, commonly known as "Fulao dialect". According to its linguistic features, it can be roughly divided into five dialects: Minnan dialect, Mindong dialect, Minbei dialect, Minzhong dialect and Puxian dialect. Among them, Minnan dialect is the most widely used dialect, which is called one of the eight major dialects in China (the eight major dialects refer to northern dialect, Wu dialect, Cantonese, Minnan dialect, northern Fujian dialect, Hakka dialect, Gan dialect and Xiang dialect). Not only the counties and cities in Fujian province centered on Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Xiamen, but also the popular Min dialect outside Fujian province basically belongs to Minnan dialect.
