Haining dialect

Haining dialect is a dialect of Wu dialect, which belongs to the small piece of Taihu Lake Su Hu Jia in Wu dialect.

The area and population of Taihu Lake account for more than 65% of the total Wu dialect. It can be further divided into six small blocks: Piling (Changzhou), Suhujia (Suzhou-Shanghai-Jiaxing), Tiaoxi (Huzhou), Hangzhou, Shao Lin (Lin 'an-Shaoxing) and Yongjiang (Ningbo). There is little difference in grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation between films, but the intonation is different, and they can basically communicate. Among them, Suzhou-centered small film Su and Changzhou-centered neighboring films are often called "Wu Nong Ruan Yu" because of their pronunciation characteristics.

In a narrow sense, Haining dialect refers to Shi Xia dialect, which is the dialect of Shixia District where Haining Municipal Government is located.

In a broad sense, Haining dialect also includes dialects of other streets and towns, mainly including Xie Qiao dialect, Ding Qiao dialect, Zhouwangmiao dialect, Guodian dialect, Yuan Hua dialect, Huangwan dialect, Yan Guan dialect, Chang 'an dialect and Xucun dialect.
