Min dialect islands in Zhongshan: (1) Longdu, (2) Nanlang, (3) Sanxiang
Zhongshan Min (
Northern Song dynasty period (1023–1031).[5]
The three dialects are:[1][5]
- Longdu dialect, spoken mainly in Shaxi and Dachong in the west of the prefecture,
- Nanlang dialect or Dongxiang dialect, spoken mainly in Nanlang and Zhangjiabian in the east, and
- Sanxiang dialect, spoken in Sanxiang in the south.
According to Nicholas Bodman, the Longdu and Nanlang dialects belong to the Eastern Min group, while the Sanxiang dialect belongs to Southern Min.[6][7] All three have been heavily influenced by the Shiqi dialect, the local variety of Yue Chinese.[8]
As the dialect with the most speakers, the Longdu dialect may be taken as the representative dialect of Zhongshan Min.[9]
