What's the difference between Leizhou dialect and Chaozhou dialect?

1: Chaozhou (Shantou) dialect, Leihua dialect (including electric vernacular), Hainan dialect, Taiwan dialect and Minnan dialect all belong to the same language family, namely Minnan dialect family.

2. Leizhou dialect has 17 initials, 47 finals and 8 tones.

3. Chaozhou dialect still retains the phonetic system of eight-tone spelling, and its pronunciation is complicated. It used to be sixteen tones (actually sixteen initials), but now it is eight tones, and the dialect is too mixed.

Leizhou dialect (Leizhou dialect), referred to as "Leihua" for short, belongs to a branch of Fujian language family and is the mother tongue of Ren Lei compatriots at home and abroad.

3. Chaozhou dialect, also known as TiMi-Chiu-U, also known as Chaoshan dialect, is distributed in Chaoshan area along the eastern coast of Guangdong Province.

5. The geographical distribution is mainly related to the relocation of villagers who have spoken Minnan since ancient times. They moved along such a seaside route, so although the pronunciation or meaning of this language is different in different places due to changes, it is mostly the same.
