Expanding knowledge-Southwest Dialect

1, southwest dialect, also known as southwest mandarin, is mainly distributed in southwest China. In fact, there has never been a so-called standard pronunciation in southwest dialect, unlike Cantonese who regard Guangzhou dialect as the standard pronunciation of Cantonese. For example, Sichuan dialect itself is formed by the evolution and integration of immigrant dialects from all over the world.

2. As many as 270 million people use Southwest Mandarin, which is the most widely used and populous dialect in Mandarin. According to general historians, Southwest Mandarin is an extension of Jianghuai Mandarin, and they are related.

3. Both of them belong to Southern Mandarin, because according to historical research, the formation of Southwest Mandarin is a mandarin dialect gradually formed from the Ming Dynasty due to immigration to the southwest, and immigration is the main factor in the formation of Southwest Mandarin.

4. The formation of Southwest Mandarin is closely related to the immigrants who entered southwest China after Yuan Dynasty. The time when the Sichuan dialect of Chengdu-Chongqing dialect diverged from the Wuhan phonology of Huguang dialect can be traced back to at least the Ming Dynasty, so the formation time of Southwest Mandarin should be earlier.

6. Southwest Mandarin is distributed in almost all Chinese-speaking areas in southwest China, such as Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan and Hubei, as well as in southwestern Shaanxi, southeastern Gansu, northwestern Guangxi, northwestern and southern Hunan (together with local dialects), and there are dialect islands in Jiangxi.
