What are the characteristics of Shanghainese speaking?

The pronunciation of Shanghai dialect is very skillful, with frequent and skillful tongue sounds, and the use of mouth shapes focuses on lips and chin, with small high-frequency changes.

In people's old-school phonetics, the initials "bang" and "Duan" don't pronounce [p] and [t], but pronounce a contracted voiced sound ['b] and ['d] with a strong nasal sound. This kind of contraction sound only exists in Qingyuan, Xianju and other mountainous areas in southern Zhejiang, and also exists in Zhuang and Dong languages.

The entering rhyme of Shanghai dialect is the best preserved in Wu dialect. Rural elderly, "guest [khk]" and "choke [kh? ], "carved [kh∧k]", "thirsty [kh? ], "Ke [khe]", "Shell [kh? K] "and" cry [khok] "are either the same sound or have seven basic rhymes. Up to now, there are only two teenagers in the city, "guest = choking = engraving = thirst = knocking [kh? ]，shell = cry [kho]”。

Extended data:

Shanghai dialect is confined to the inner ring and is an urban dialect. Outside the Inner Ring Road, most of them were suburban counties twenty years ago, and they all spoke local dialect. People in the urban area didn't understand it very well, even worse than Suzhou dialect, because Shanghai dialect is a hybrid of wuyue dialect. Suzhou Pingtan was once the favorite of Shanghainese and became a popular media.

Shanghainese dialect is the first characteristic of Shanghainese. When a local girl marries in the city, her neighbors call her "local girl". If she comes in with Shanghai gossip instead of Song Meiling local accent, she is called Shanghai girl.
