 Nanlang dialect, at the eastern edge of Zhongshan City | |
The Nanlang dialect is a variant of the Eastern Min Chinese predominantly spoken in Nanlang a town within Zhongshan in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong, China.[4] Despite its close proximity, Nanlang is not very closely related to the surrounding dialects in the region, which belong to the Yue group. As such, Nanlang forms a "dialect island" of Min speakers. It is one of three enclaves of Min in Zhongshan, the others being Longdu and Sanxiang.[5]
