Why is Qihai dialect a bit like Zhejiang dialect?

Because the Qihai area is the inheritance of Wu dialect north of the Yangtze River, the ancestors of Qihai people are immigrants from southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang. The language is Wu dialect, which has nothing to do with Subei dialect. The Seven Seas, not Nantong (outside the Seven Seas), are merged into Shanghai, so everyone should learn some history. If the Seven Seas are really merged into Shanghai, it will only restore the organizational system of Shanghai Waterway a hundred years ago!

Shadi dialect, also known as "Qihai dialect", belongs to Wu dialect with Tongdong dialect, which is mainly distributed in the south-central part of Haimen, most areas in the south and east of Tongzhou and the southeast coast of Rudong. Comparatively speaking, Shati dialect is a little close to Shanghai dialect, but it retains a lot of ancient voiced fricatives and has much more tones than Shanghai dialect.

In Sha dialect, the kitchen knife is called "thin knife", the girl is called "empress" and barefoot is called "barefoot and thin".

The complexity of Nantong dialect is a symbol of cultural integration;

The "strange appearance" of Nantong dialect today is not like Huizhou in southern Anhui and western Zhejiang, but closely related to the historical process.

Because it is located at the intersection of Qilu culture, Jingchu culture and Wuyue culture, coupled with the dense local water network and convenient transportation, immigrants and businessmen have come and gone for thousands of years, so there has always been a cultural intersection.

Residents in three northern counties of Nantong speak Xiahe dialect, while those in three southern counties mainly use Wuyuhai oral cavity. A small area in the urban area forms an isolated island of Nantong dialect.

Nantong dialect is divided into five parts: local dialect, Miaojie dialect, suburban dialect, Tongxi dialect and Jin telephone.
