What are the top ten popular dialects in China?

Dongbei dialect can be said to be the dialect with the closest pronunciation to Mandarin, and with the popularization of sketch actors such as Zhao Benshan, it can be said to be a household name. No matter the old or the young, people can shout out a few words. The pronunciation of Dongbei dialect can better reflect the straightforward and uninhibited character of the Northeast people and is easily accepted by everyone. However, because there are many branches of Northeast Dialect, such as Dalian Dialect and Shenyang Dialect, the most standard Northeast Dialect is still in Chaoyang area of Tieling, and some words in Northeast Dialect are still difficult for foreigners to understand, but such words have not been used in Northeast Dialect for a long time.

Ranked tenth: Tianjin dialect

Tianjin dialect can be said to reveal the humor of Tianjin people from the bones, and the art of cross talk is often used in Tianjin dialect to achieve better funny effects. There are basically no incomprehensible words in Tianjin dialect, but because the pronunciation tone of Tianjin dialect is very different from that of Mandarin, it is still incomprehensible when you speak too fast.

Ranked ninth: Shandong dialect

The pronunciation of Shandong Jiaodong Peninsula city is quite close to that of Dalian dialect in the northeast, which can be understood by most people, but if you go to inland cities such as Weifang, the local dialect will be somewhat obscure. Shandong dialect always makes people feel very rustic with its unique pronunciation, but after listening for a long time, they will feel that the profound cultural heritage of Qilu is reflected through this strong Shandong flavor. Don't forget that Confucius and Mencius also spoke Shandong dialect in those days!

Ranked eighth: Sichuan dialect

Sichuan dialect has a great influence in southwest China and belongs to a branch of Southwest Mandarin, a northern Chinese dialect. Its pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, etc. It has great consistency with Mandarin, but it also has different characteristics, the biggest difference is pronunciation. The phonetic system of Sichuan dialect * * * has 20 initials, 36 finals and 4 tones, and there are also vowel inflections. Because Sichuan has a large population and many people go out to work, many people are familiar with Sichuan dialect. As long as you don't speak too fast, you can basically understand Sichuan dialect.

Ranked seventh: Changsha dialect

Changsha is the capital of Hunan Province, the political, economic and cultural center of the province, with a large population and convenient transportation. Therefore, Changsha dialect has been influenced by northern dialects since ancient times, and its distance from Mandarin is relatively small. The user population accounts for about 5% of the total population of Han nationality, so it occupies an important position in Chinese dialects. Hunan is a great place, and A Dream of Red Mansions reveals a clear context of Hunan dialect.

Ranked sixth: Shaanxi dialect

Shaanxi is one of the birthplaces of ancient culture in China. According to legend, Chinese characters were created by Cang Xie, the "father of writing". Cang Xie, a native of Baoji, Shaanxi Province, was born in the Five Emperors era, with a history of more than 4,000 years. So Shaanxi dialect is unique and profound. From these dialects, we can not only get a glimpse of the development track of China ancient culture, but also appreciate the true feelings that modern people can't express. Due to the geographical characteristics of Shaanxi, the east and west are narrow and the north and south are long, and dialects and dialects vary greatly from place to place. Even the same sentence has different content and meaning because of different pronunciation and speed of speech. There was once a colleague from Shanxi. Every time I call my boyfriend in my hometown, she always speaks Shaanxi dialect. We didn't understand at first, so we didn't avoid us. But after a period of running-in, she called her boyfriend and whispered that she had to call behind our backs.

Ranked fifth: Shanghai dialect

I have been in Shanghai for two years, and I can barely understand a few words of Shanghai dialect because I haven't worked hard to learn it. I can only talk about the most basic "Shanghai dialect" of Nong Hao and Allah. Shanghai dialect is a bit like Hangzhou dialect and Ningbo dialect in Zhejiang, but I personally think Shanghai dialect is better. Recently, I specially found a Shanghai friend to strengthen the training of Shanghai dialect, and see how long it will take to learn Shanghai dialect after passing CET-4 and CET-4.

Ranked fourth: Suzhou dialect

Suzhou dialect embodies a strong ancient meaning and bookish spirit. Suzhou people say "no" is "blessing", and the modal particles at the end of the sentence use "zai" instead of "le", so people will feel intimate when they hear Suzhou dialect. Suzhou dialect has always been called "soft language of Wu Nong", and its biggest feature is "soft", especially for girls. In other dialects belonging to Wu dialect family, equality is not as soft as Suzhou dialect. There is a saying that Suzhou people would rather listen to quarrels than Ningbo people, which fully illustrates the word "soft" in Suzhou dialect. Suzhou dialect, though pleasant in tone, is hard to understand. I once had a friend who could speak very authentic Shanghai dialect in one year in Shanghai, but learning a few Suzhou dialects really didn't make sense.

Ranked third: Minnan dialect

The spread of Minnan dialect is not only in southern Fujian, but has already surpassed provincial and national boundaries. The most popular Minnan dialect in other provinces is Taiwan Province Province, while in Taiwan Province Province, almost all Minnan dialects close to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou dialects are spoken, except Gaoshan area. It is estimated that people without language talent may not understand Minnan dialect even if they stay in Fujian all their lives. Minnan dialect is the most complicated and internally different dialect among the seven major Chinese dialects.

Ranked second: Cantonese

It can be said that Cantonese is very popular now, and many people can speak a few simple words of Cantonese, but I rank Cantonese second because Cantonese not only has its own unique pronunciation, but also has its own characters. Besides, all buses in Guangzhou use Cantonese first and then Mandarin, and some Cantonese people, including Hong Kong people, don't even know Mandarin, which shows the great difference between Cantonese and Mandarin. Moreover, Cantonese people are very protective of their dialects, and they will try their best to use their own dialects whenever possible.

Ranked first: Wenzhou dialect, I don't know if you have heard of such a sentence, saying that Wenzhou people are not afraid of anything, and they are afraid of Wenzhou people talking nonsense. The nonsense here does not mean insulting Wenzhou people. It is said that War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Central and Eighth Route Army troops need to contact each other because of confidentiality, and they all send two Wenzhou people to contact each other by telephone or walkie-talkie. However, Japanese intelligence agencies have been unable to translate this extremely complicated Wenzhou dialect. It can be said that Wenzhou people at that time played a considerable role in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, just like the speakers in American movies. So lying doesn't mean that Wenzhou people are lying, but that the Japanese can't understand it. Through this, we can understand how difficult Wenzhou dialect is.
