It is also a dialect. Why is the northern dialect easier to understand than the southern dialect?

? I once read an explanation that China is divided into several different language families. Most languages in the north (including Sichuan, which is why Sichuan dialect is "easier to understand" than Guangzhou dialect) belong to one language family (not Sino-Tibetan, but another branch, whose names are unclear), and the southeast coast is another language family (like Japanese and Korean, many words in Minnan are pronounced like Japanese).

? Nowadays, Mandarin is based on northern languages, which should be the reason why the northern dialect of the subject is easier to understand, that is to say, it is based on Mandarin to distinguish between easy to understand and difficult to understand. In addition, if we simply divide the north and the south by geography, I think this statement is not quite true. For example, Sichuan dialect is easier to understand than Dalian dialect for people who only have basic knowledge of Mandarin. The so-called Sichuan dialect here is mostly Pu Chuan, but it is Dapu (Dalian Mandarin, can you have this word? ) it is also difficult to understand.

Before the popularization of Putonghua, it was common for people to walk hundreds of meters away from home and not understand what others were saying. Between several language areas, there is often a river and a hill. Why is the gap between northern dialects relatively small and southern dialects so big? Today, I will take Zhejiang as an example to talk about the reasons for the dialect gap.

? Chestnuts: 1, crazy stones, etc. Some movies with Sichuan dialect (Pu Chuan) as the main language are shown nationwide, and some movies with Dalian dialect as the main language are also available. 2. Zhao Benshan's sketches or films and TV plays use Liaoning dialects such as Tieling/Jinzhou/Shenyang instead of Dalian dialect.
