Is there a difference between Dongtai dialect and Shanghai dialect?

Dongtai dialect belongs to Jianghuai dialect, and Shanghai dialect belongs to Wu dialect.

The main features of Jianghuai Mandarin are the voiced initials, the ancient voiced initials are full of fricative sounds, and Hong Chao and Huang Xiao are flat and voiced. Tongtai films, whether flat or flat, all read aspirated and unvoiced sounds. In most areas except Tongtai and Yancheng, N and L are indistinguishable, and suspected vowels [ng] and shadow vowels [0] are confused, so Dongtai dialect belongs to Tongtai.

Wu dialect retains all voiced sounds, flat tones, sharp sounds and many ancient Chinese words in some areas. Shanghai dialect is an important representative of Wu dialect, which can basically communicate with other dialects in Taihu Lake area of Wu dialect and is an influential language in modern Wu dialect area. .
