The biggest phonetic feature of Quzhou dialect is that it retains the full voiced initials in the Middle Ages, which are divided into three groups: unvoiced, aspirated, unvoiced and voiced, and retained into the rhyme. In addition, the vocabulary of Quzhou dialect is older, and its grammar is quite different from that of Putonghua and other Chinese dialects.

Quzhou dialect has been deeply influenced by Hangzhou dialect, the official dialect of Zhejiang, so that people in Quzhou can not talk to the surrounding rural people, but can easily understand some dialects of Taihu Lake. The reading system of Quzhou, Jinhua and other local dialects is actually a regional variant of Zhejiang Mandarin.

The influence of Hangzhou dialect on Quzhou dialect is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

The personal pronoun "you" replaced the original "er"

The phonetic system is mainly because the rhymes are not elevated (most of the high rhymes of Jia, Tai, Jun and Bi are not mixed) and the first-class and third-class rhymes are mixed -ei-.

In terms of tones, the tones of Yin Ping, Yangping, Yinqu, Yinru and Yangru in Quzhou dialect are completely consistent with those in Hangzhou dialect, and the tone sandhi types begin to change, and the tone of single words is simplified (there were eight tones in Quzhou dialect 80 years ago, but now there are only seven).
