Which province in China has the most dialects?

Broadly speaking, it should be northern dialect, and there are still differences between northern dialect and Mandarin.

In a narrow sense (northern reunification, if not considered), it should be Cantonese.

Here is some information.

An Overview of Seven Dialects in China

1. Northern Dialect (abbreviation: Northern Dialect)

2. Cantonese (Cantonese for short)

3. Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialect (Wu dialect for short):

4. Fujian dialect (Fujian dialect for short):

5. Hunan dialect (Hunan dialect for short):

6. Jiangxi dialect (referred to as Gan dialect):

7. Hakka dialect (Hakka for short):

1, northern dialect

Also known as Northern Dialect, represented by Beijing Dialect, the lingua franca is China's northern provinces, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan and some counties and cities in central China. Northern dialect is divided into four sub-dialect areas:

(1) North China dialect is popular in Beijing, Tianjin, Northeast China, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces. Among them, Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang dialects are the closest to Beijing dialect.

(2) Northwest dialect, popular in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang.

(3) Southwest dialect, which is popular in most areas of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Hubei. Border areas of northern Hunan and Guangxi.

(4) Jianghuai dialect, commonly known as Xiajiang Mandarin, is popular in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including some areas along the Yangtze River in Anhui, Jiangsu and Jiangxi.

2. Wu dialect

Wu dialect is also called Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialect or Jiangnan dialect. It used to be represented by Suzhou dialect. Nowadays, with the development of Shanghai's economy, more and more people use Shanghai dialect, and people who are familiar with Shanghai dialect are gradually increasing. So the representative of Wu dialect today is Shanghai dialect. The traffic area is mainly south of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, east of Zhenjiang, a small part of Nantong, and most of Shanghai and Zhejiang, which can be divided into five parts:

(1) Taihu film represented by Shanghai dialect is popular in Shanghai, Changzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo and other places.

(2) Taizhou movies represented by Linhai dialect.

(3) Eastern European movies represented by Wenzhou dialect.

(4) Wuzhou piece represented by Jinhua dialect.

(5) Li Qu films represented by Lishui dialect.

3. Hunan dialect:

Hunan dialect is also called Hunan dialect or Huxiang dialect. Represented by Changsha dialect, it is distributed in most areas of Hunan Province. From the internal phonetic differences, there are differences between the new Xiang dialect and the old Xiang dialect. The old Xiang dialect is widely popular in Ningxiang and Hengyang in central Hunan, and the new Xiang dialect is popular in Changsha, Zhuzhou and other large and medium-sized cities.

4. Gan dialect

Gan dialect is also called Jiangxi dialect, Gan dialect or xi dialect. Nanchang dialect, as the representative, is popular in most areas of Jiangxi Province and some counties and cities in western Fujian and Hunan Province. Because the northern Han nationality moved south many times in history, most of them passed through Jiangxi, and their hometown was geographically adjacent to Jianghuai Mandarin, Xiang dialect and Peng Min dialect, which made the marginal areas of Jiangxi Province deeply influenced by other dialects and led to the weakening of the characteristics of Gan dialect.

Gan dialect can be divided into seven parts:

(1) Changjing film represented by Nanchang dialect is popular in Nanchang and Gao 'an.

(2) Liu Yi movies represented by Yichun dialect are popular in Yichun, Xinyu and Hunan.

(3) Jicha tablets represented by Ji 'an dialect are popular in Ji 'an, Jinggangshan and Chaling, Youxian and Lingxian areas of Hunan Province.

(4) Fu Guang movies represented by Fuzhou dialect are popular in Fuzhou.

(5) Eagle Yi films represented by yingtan dialect are popular in yingtan, Guixi, Leping and Jingdezhen.

(6) Gannan film (also known as Ganzhou film), represented by Ganxian dialect, is popular in Gannan. (This piece of Gan dialect is intentionally divided into a branch of dialect by ethnologists of ethnic department. )

(7) Western Fujian, represented by Changting dialect, is popular in Tingzhou area of western Fujian. (This branch of Gan dialect is also classified as a branch of dialect by researchers from Peng Min, which is a great trouble in linguistics.)

Cantonese, also known as Cantonese or Cantonese, is popular in most parts of Guangdong Province, southern and eastern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Hong Kong and Macao.

(1) Cantonese, represented by Guangzhou dialect, is popular in the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong, some counties and cities in western and northern Guangdong, and Wuzhou region of Guangxi.

(2) The Siyi area represented by Taishan dialect is in Jiangmen, Guangdong (Xinhui, Taishan, Jiangmen, Kaiping, Enping and Heshan).

(4) Levin films represented by Yangjiang dialect are popular in Maoming and Yangjiang.

(5) Qin Lianpian, represented by Qinzhou dialect in Guangxi, is popular in Zhanjiang in Guangdong, Qinzhou in Guangxi and parts of Leizhou in Guangdong.

(6) Uighur film represented by Huizhou Cantonese (this film was once mistaken by shed people as a branch of shed dialect, especially the residents of Heyuan, Guangdong Province, who, like shed people, mistakenly thought they were shed people). Tongda area: Huizhou, Heyuan, Jieyang, Guangdong, Puning and Jiexi, Luhe County, Shanwei, Wuhua and Xingning, Meizhou.

(7) Yong Xun films, represented by Nanning dialect in Guangxi, are popular in Nanning, Guangxi and parts of Yulin.

(8) Goulou piece, represented by Yulin dialect in Guangxi, passes through Yulin area in Guangxi and a part of Wuzhou in Guangxi.

6. Peng Min dialect

Peng Min dialect is also called Jiaying dialect, Hakka dialect or Liu Hua. Represented by Guangdong Meicheng dialect, it is mainly used in Meizhou, Guangdong, and scattered in the southern tip of Jiangxi and western Fujian. Historically, the shed people were migrants from the Central Plains who moved south several times to escape the war since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The densest place where they live is Meizhou, Guangdong. Some overseas Chinese also speak shed dialect.

7. Min dialect

Min dialect is also called Min dialect or Fulao dialect. Fuzhou dialect used to be the representative, but now there are more and more Minnan residents in Min dialect, and more and more people use Minnan dialect. Therefore, today's Fujian dialect is generally represented by the Xiamen dialect of Minnan dialect. Min dialect can be divided into five parts.

(1) The eastern Fujian film represented by Fuzhou dialect-

(2) The Minnan dialect film represented by Xiamen dialect is divided into several small pieces in Fujian dialect: 1, and the Zhang Quan film is based on Xiamen dialect in Fujian. 2. Chaoshan movies should be based on Shantou dialect in Guangdong. 3. Leizhou film is based on Haikang dialect. 4. Wen Qiong's films are based on Haikou dialect in Hainan.

(3) Northern Fujian, represented by Jian 'ou dialect.

(4) Minzhong film represented by Yong 'an dialect.

(5) Puxian film represented by Putian dialect.

A considerable number of Chinese communities in Nanyang Islands also come from Fujian dialect areas, but Minnan dialect is the main language.

Attached:

Another criterion is to divide the whole country into eight dialect areas, that is, to divide Fujian dialect into two branches.

1, northern Fujian dialect, also known as Min dialect.

Northern Fujian dialect is distributed in northern Fujian, parts of southern Zhejiang and parts of Taiwan Province Province. In addition, some overseas Chinese in Nanyang also speak northern Fujian dialect. The northern Fujian dialect is represented by Fuzhou dialect.

2. Minnan dialect is called Chaozhou dialect in Guangdong and Xiamen dialect in Fujian.

Minnan dialect is distributed in southern Fujian, eastern Guangdong and parts of Hainan Island, and some overseas Chinese communities also spread Minnan dialect. Minnan dialect is represented by Xiamen dialect.

(This is divided by geographical north and south. If Fujian dialect is integrated, Fuzhou dialect belongs to eastern Fujian dialect. )
