| | In recent years, in scholarly fields, there have been some arguments dubbed as "debate between the North and the South," "debate between Beijing school and Shanghai school." However, these debates are really assumed by those from the North. | | | Shanghai since its birth has never possessed the compatibility, let alone harmony, with the solemnity of the Chinese culture. | | | It seems that two of the biggest lights for a great life are rather dim over their heads. |

| | Graham on Shanghainese |
| | Also, Shanghainese people use their own dialect as a secret language when foreigners and people from other parts of China are around, and I see no reason why their faith in the impenetrability of their dialect shouldn't be shaken! | | | Which is not surprising considering the overall opinion of Shanghainese people towards their own language (a wise man once said, by the way, that the difference between and a language and a dialect is that a language has an army and a navhy). | | | Many people, particularly the more educated, talk what I am sure will never be widely called Manghainese - Mandarin words get thrown into a Shanghainese framework as English words are into Hong Kong Cantonese. |

| | Shanghai Dialect Introduction: Background |
| | Wu dialects have preserved the full Middle Chinese set of voiced initials that do not exist in Mandarin and Cantonese. | | | This site believes that the debate of language vs. dialect has no relevance on introducing and promoting Shanghainese as it is. | | | It has however been less faithful in its finals, having truncated most diphthongs and triphthongs still found in Cantonese and Mandarin into monophthongs (pure vowels), for a total of 14 pure vowels. |

| | I had a lingustics professor once who said that you could get a kind of "instant Proto-Indo-European " by combining Greek vowels and Sanskrit consonants. | | | The "retroflex" initials have the tongue curling up, as in the similar series of sounds in Sanskrit and subsequent languages in India. | | | Within each of these, especially Mandarin, there are true dialects, which means that they are mutually intelligible. |

| | Cantonese, being a major dialect in the south, has a sizable set of words that do not seem to be related to their Mandarin counterparts: | | | There are also words that share some morphemes between dialects but differ in other morphemes. | | | While the same word can have different meanings in different dialects, the same meaning can be expressed by different words in different dialects. |

| | Xiaoyang "Sean" Wang: Why "Sean"? |
| | Now whenever somebody calls me "Sean", it reminds me of the people I know from my days in Shanghai, and by extention to all the people I know from everywhere who are dear to me. And then I should be happy. | | | Besides, it does not hurt to mention that a certain actor who bears this first name has had some marvelous movies that I like. | | | When said in Shanghai dialect in a little bit fast way, "Xiaoyang" roughly sounds like Sean (which is Irish for "John", and pronounced roughly as "Shawn", definitely NOT as "Scene"). |

| | Dialect characters |
| | Although dialectal characters and dialectal use of characters are never encouraged and do not enjoy high prestige, the principle behind their creation and use is entirely reasonable and consistent with the ways Chinese characters have evolved. | | | In addition to a core vocabulary that is shared by all dialects, there are also words that are specific to dialects which the standard language does not have characters for. | | | At the same time, these dialects also have liberally borrowed standard characters and put them to new uses unimaginable and incomprehensible to speakers of other dialects. |

| | Shanghai Dialect FAQ |
| | The original plan for the site had been to transcribe everything into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) so that visitors do not have to learn a new romanization system. | | | This site, however, has no intention to suggest that Shanghainese should serve as the standard for all Wu dialects; on the contrary, we strongly believe in preserving diversity for all languages and dialects, regardless of the number of speakers or their economic strength. | | | For this reason, we refrain from calling Shanghainese directly as Wu and we make no attempt to assume universality for other Wu dialects; all dialogues, vocabulary and recordings are thus in Shanghainese and recorded by native Shanghainese speakers. |
