What's the difference between northern dialect and Mandarin?

The differences between Northern Dialect and Mandarin are as follows:

1, Putonghua takes Beijing dialect as the standard pronunciation, but it doesn't copy all the pronunciations of Beijing dialect. Putonghua is not equal to Beijing dialect, let alone the earliest Beijing dialect.

2. As far as vocabulary standards are concerned, Putonghua is "based on northern dialects", and at the same time, it should absorb its own vocabulary from other dialects.

3. Geographically speaking, Mandarin aims at standardization. Mandarin is also the official national language of China. It is used all over the country, including ethnic autonomous areas and areas where ethnic minorities live in compact communities. However, the northern dialect is not the national common language, and the population used accounts for more than 73% of the total population of the Han nationality. .
