Putonghua Teaching: Jiangxi Dialect

Also known as Gan dialect, it is a dialect with the smallest area and population among the seven major dialect areas in Chinese. Gan dialect is not "Jiangxi dialect". In addition to Gan dialect, there are Hakka dialect, Wu dialect and Jianghuai mandarin in Jiangxi province, and there are also Gan dialects in the surrounding provinces of Jiangxi. Because Gan dialect and Hakka dialect have many common features, some linguists think that they can be merged into a large dialect area called Hakka dialect.

Jiangxi dialect is popular in central and northern Jiangxi province, eastern Hunan and northwestern Fujian. Dialects popular in some counties and cities in southeastern Hubei and southwestern Anhui are similar to Gan dialect in characteristics, and some scholars believe that they can also be classified as Gan dialect.
