Talk:Jiujiang dialect

Gan, Guan or Yue?
A number of sources assert that Jiujiang is a Gan or Guan dialect (related to Mandarin), rather than Yue (Cantonese). Could someone who knows chime in, please? Waitak (talk) 19:09, 12 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Wang Li (1939) has it in the Jiang-Huai dialect of Mandarin. From Kurpaska (2010), it appears that there are other classifications, but I don't have access to all of it.  Our Yuehai article has it there, but whoever drew it up didn't leave their sources.  — kwami (talk) 19:43, 12 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I know about the two Jiujiang in China. The Jiujiang dialect in Guangdong has some differences with Standard Cantonese but its core language is still very close to Cantonese. This dialect needs to be written down to preserve it. Sonic99 (talk) 03:24, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

I've added a source to help make the article a little more reliable, but it seems this dialect is quite underdocumented. I might also be better if we turned this into a disambiguation page and move the current article to Jiujiang Cantonese or Jiujiang dialect (Yue). — justin(r)leung { (t...) 23:55, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
 * pinging you as well since you've recently edited the article. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 00:09, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
