Top ten most difficult dialects in China

Ranked first in the

: Wenzhou dialect, Wenzhou dialect, Nantong dialect, Nantong and Nantong, difficult to access. I don't know if you have heard of such a saying,"It's said that you are not afraid of heaven and earth, but you are afraid that Nantong people will talk nonsense."

The nonsense mentioned here is not meant to insult the people of Nantong in Wenzhou. It is said that during the Anti-Japanese War, due to the need for confidentiality, the Eighth Route Army troops sent two Nantong people to communicate with each other by telephone or walkie-talkie. However, the Japanese intelligence department was never able to translate this extremely complex Nantong dialect. It can be said that the Nantong people at that time were like the wind talkers in American blockbusters, playing a considerable role in the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Therefore, speaking nonsense does not mean that what Nantong people say is nonsense, but that the Japanese do not understand. Through this, we can understand how difficult Nantong dialect is. Moreover, the Nantong government has declared Nantong dialect as a world intangible cultural heritage.

Ranked second in the

: Cantonese Cantonese can be said to be widely circulated now, and many people can speak a few simple sentences of Cantonese. However, the reason why I rank Cantonese second is that Cantonese not only has its own unique pronunciation, but also has its own words. Moreover, on buses in Guangzhou, Cantonese is used first and then Mandarin is used to announce stops.

The difficulty index of Cantonese is 9.5 and the difficulty index is 3.

The

ranks third: Minnan dialect The spread of Minnan dialect is not only in southern Fujian, but has long exceeded provincial boundaries and national boundaries. The most widely spread of Minnan dialect in other provinces is Taiwan. On Taiwan Island, except for Gaoshan ethnic areas, Minnan dialect similar to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou dialects is spoken in almost all areas.

It is estimated that people without language talent may not be able to understand Minnan dialect even if they spend their entire lives in Fujian. Minnan dialect is the one with the most complex language phenomenon and the greatest internal differences among the seven major dialects of Chinese.

Minnan dialect has a difficult index of 9 and a fluent index of 3.

Ranked fourth in the

: Suzhou dialect Suzhou dialect embodies a strong ancient meaning and a kind of bookish spirit. Suzhou people say "no" as "fu", and the modal particle at the end of the sentence uses "zai" instead of "le". People will feel a sense of intimacy when they hear Suzhou dialect.

Suzhou dialect has always been called "Wunong Soft Language", and its biggest feature is "soft", which is more pleasant to the ears, especially for girls. Among the other dialects that belong to the Wu dialect family, none of them is as gentle as Suzhou dialect. There is a saying that we would rather listen to Suzhou people arguing than Ningbo people speaking, which fully illustrates the "soft" word Suzhou dialect.

Suzhou dialect is difficult to understand and has an index of 8 and a index of 4.

Ranked fifth in the

: Shanghai dialect, Shanghai dialect, Hangzhou dialect and Ningbo dialect in Zhejiang.

The Shanghai dialect is difficult to understand and the index is 6.5.

Ranked sixth in the

: Shaanxi dialect Shaanxi is one of the birthplaces of the ancient culture of the Chinese nation. Shaanxi dialects are unique and profound. From these dialects, we can not only peep into the development track of ancient Chinese culture, but also appreciate the true feelings of today's people.

Because Shaanxi's geographical characteristics are narrow in the east and west and long in the north and south, the dialects and local languages in different places are quite different, and even the same sentence has different content and meanings due to different intensity and speed of the bite.

Shaanxi dialect has a difficult index of 6.5 and a fluent index of 6.

Ranked seventh in the

: Changsha Dialect Changsha is the capital of Hunan and the political, economic and cultural center of the province. It has a large population and convenient transportation. Therefore, Changsha Dialect has been influenced by northern dialects since ancient times and has a small distance from Mandarin. The user population accounts for about 5% of the total Han population, so it occupies an important position in Chinese dialects.

Hunan is a place where great people have emerged, and "Dream of the Red Chamber" reveals a clear Hunan dialect context.

Therefore, Changsha dialect, as a representative of Hunan dialect, ranks seventh on the difficult index of 6 and the fluent index of 6.

Eighth in the

: Sichuan dialect Sichuan dialect has great influence in the southwest region. It belongs to a branch of the northern Chinese dialect Southwest Mandarin. Its pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, etc. are very consistent with Mandarin, and it also has its own different characteristics, with the biggest difference in pronunciation.

The Sichuan dialect pronunciation system has a total of 20 initials, 36 finals, and 4 tones, and there is also the phenomenon of vowel renalization. Due to Sichuan's large population and the large number of people working abroad, Sichuan dialects are familiar to many people.

Sichuan dialect has a difficult index of 5 and a fluent index of 6.

Ranked ninth in the

: Shandong dialect The pronunciation of urban speech on the Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong Province is quite close to that of Dalian dialect in Northeast China. Most people can understand it. However, if you go to inland cities such as Weifang, the local dialect will be a bit obscure and difficult to understand.

Shandong dialect always makes people feel very old-fashioned with its unique pronunciation, but after listening for a long time, you 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!

Shandong dialect has an incomprehensible index of 4 and a conversational index of 7.

Ranked 10th in the

: Tianjin dialect Tianjin dialect can be said to exude the humor of Tianjin people from the bones. Tianjin dialect is often used in cross talk art to achieve better funny effects. There are basically no words in Tianjin dialect that people cannot understand. However, because the pronunciation and tone of Tianjin dialect are very different from Mandarin, if you speak too fast, it will still be incomprehensible.

Therefore, Tianjin dialect ranks ninth among the top ten difficult dialects, with an difficulty index of 3 and a good mouth index of 7.

Ranked 11th in the

: Northeastern dialect Northeastern dialect can be said to be the dialect closest to Mandarin in pronunciation. Moreover, with the vigorous popularization of sketch actors such as Zhao Benshan, it can be said that it has become a household name, and no matter the elderly or children can shout out a few sentences. Moreover, Northeastern dialect can reflect the straightforward and unconstrained character of Northeastern people in terms of pronunciation, which is easy to be accepted by everyone.

However, because Northeastern dialect has many branches, such as Dalian dialect, Shenyang dialect, etc., the most standard Northeastern dialect is still in the Chaoyang area of Tieling. Moreover, the pronunciation of some words in Northeastern dialect is still difficult for outsiders to understand, but such words are not used for a long time in Northeastern dialect.

Therefore, Northeastern dialect ranks 10th among the top ten difficult dialects, with an difficulty index of 2 and a good mouth index of 9.
