Brief introduction of Xinyi dialect

Xinyi dialect not only absorbs the grammatical order of monosyllabic words and word groups in ancient Chinese in the Central Plains, but also retains a large number of words and grammatical orders in ancient Baiyue dialect. Take the transliteration of Xinyi dialect as an example: [Where did the child go? ), listen (don't listen), don't let the economist clean the bolt door (the economist doesn't close the door in the shower), slap the bucket to charm the water (dive with the bucket)? Do you want to jump off a cliff? There are many words in it that Chinese characters or Cantonese phonetic symbols can't express.

"The Biography of Nan Man in the Later Han Dynasty": "Zi-Yi-Ban Lan, who speaks far, is happy to enter the ravine, but not happy." Xinyi dialect has the legacy of ancient Baiyue dialect, with more "shh" and "li".

There are many descriptions of the ancient Lingnan language in Qu Fei's Answer to the Wailing in the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty:

Dialect, the ancients have it. . . . . . For Guo Cheng residents, language is plain, while people from Fujian and Hunan are not as good as it. In the meantime, it means a lot, which is beyond Zhongzhou. Early in the morning and late at night, rice was held in a bamboo vessel like a basket, and a poppy was held in water in a earthen bottle. When they meet, they call themselves cold and cheap, longer than the man I said and shorter than the brother I said. My husband calls him a little nephew, at least a grandson, and a child a fine son, which means carelessness is not an industry. If so, it is elegant. I also tried to get the translator to use ""as a title, with different words, but the word "Hua" does not need to be translated. Also called "North" as "New Moon". Because of it.

Xinyi, located in the west of Guangdong, was under the jurisdiction of Guangnan West Road in the Song Dynasty. Dialects and commonly used words are still in use, such as Jiao, Pan, Qi, Cold Base, Brother, Brother, Old Nephew, Sun, Young, Lazy, Falling into the Water and Shui Pi. Xinyi dialect is located in the mountainous area, and its development is relatively closed. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, immigrants flooded into Guizi, Pingtang, Qianpai, Heshui, Xincheng and Sihe, where Luo narrative and Hakka dialect prevailed. The mountainous area was closed, which had little influence on Xinyi vernacular, and Xinyi vernacular remained unchanged, so the dialect was full of slang.
