Dialect Origin of Dianbai San Dialect

The time when the Han people who moved to Dianbai County had data to test was from Song Huizong to the end of Ming Dynasty. Most of them come from Putian, Jinjiang, Min County, Fuzhou and other places in Fujian, and they are the ancestors of the users of Shanghai dialect. There are also immigrants from Tingzhou, Fujian (such as Shanghang County), who are the ancestors of Hakka speakers.

Due to the long-term ethnic alternation, mixed living and assimilation in Dianbai County, the Chinese dialect in Dianbai County is extremely complicated.

 Guangxu Dianbai County Records Volume III: Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, Zhuang and Yao lived together, and the language was difficult to distinguish. In the past, the guards of the Ming army lived in Diancheng, but now people in the city say that "the old days are right". The sound of the seaside is near Lei Qiong, and the sound of the mountain is near Jia Chao, which is called "mountain dialect". * * * Three major departments.

Republic of China: The language of Dianbai is more complicated than that of other counties. To be exact, it can also be divided into three departments, namely, Minnan dialect, Hakka dialect and Cantonese dialect. In ancient times, Guangxin, as the political, economic and cultural center of Lingnan, made Lingnan culture and Cantonese the earliest place to develop. Today, Cantonese belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family, which originated from China's ancient "Yayan", further confirming that Guangxin (Fengkai) is the birthplace of Cantonese and the living fossil of China's ancient Mandarin, which is of irreplaceable value to the study of China's ancient culture and language. Now Dianbai is the only county in Maoming with a strong Min dialect. Min-speaking population accounts for 65% of the county. Together with the population of 800,000 below, Dianbai Min dialect is distributed in the middle and lower reaches of Shalang River and the southern coastal plain. Dianbaimin dialect is commonly known as Li dialect, also called Lei dialect. Another kind of Hai dialect belongs to Min language family, which is distributed in the eastern coastal areas with a population of more than 300,000. Hakka dialect is the second largest dialect in Dianbai, also known as "rock dialect" or "mountain dialect", which is distributed in northern mountainous areas and towns such as Xia Dong, Daya and Mata, with a population of more than 300,000 (accounting for 23% of the county's population). It is generally believed that Hakka people are descendants of the ancient Central Plains, and Hakka dialect originated from the Southern Song Dynasty Mandarin. When Hakka immigrated to eastern Guangdong, they lived together with the original South Guangdong and She aborigines, and Hakka dialect was also influenced by the ancient Yue and She languages. Dianbai Cantonese is distributed in Yang Jiao, Qi Jing, Shayuan, Liang Xiao (the above four towns are under the jurisdiction of Maogang District), Bohe, Nahuo and other towns, with a population of over 65,438+(9.2% of the county's population). In addition, Ji Long, Mianhuadi and other villages in Daya Town use Cantonese, which belongs to Siyi dialect. Ancient Mandarin is a unique dialect with the nature of Mandarin. In the sixth year of the Western Han Dynasty, Ding Yuan destroyed Nanyue. The languages of these aborigines are very different, so they can't talk to each other and have no writing. Therefore, in addition to using "elegant language" in communication with Han people, tribes also use "elegant language" in communication. "Yayan" has become the homonym of indigenous tribes. At the same time, some elements in ancient Baiyue and Nanyue were absorbed by the languages of Han immigrants, thus gradually forming Cantonese. In fact, the accent of Guangzhou dialect or Guangfu dialect is an established and internationally recognized standard pronunciation of Cantonese, and most Cantonese dictionaries are based on the Guangzhou accent.
