The Huzhou dialect (simplified Chinese: 湖州话; traditional Chinese: 湖州話; pinyin: Húzhōuhuà; Wu: wu-cieu ghe-o 湖州閒話) is a dialect of the Wu language spoken in the city of Huzhou in Zhejiang province, China.[1]
Distribution[edit]
Huzhou dialect is spoken in Wuxing (吳興) and Nanxun (南潯) the two districts that used to make up the Wuxing county(吳興郡).[2]
Huzhou dialect is very close to Changxing (長興) dialect, Deqing (德清) dialect, Wukang (武康) dialect, Anji (安吉), Xiaofeng (孝豐) and Yuhang (餘杭), which are also part of the subbranch Tiao-xi (苕溪) of Taihu Wu. Huzhou dialect is mutually intelligible with most dialects of the northern Wu (Taihu Wu).
Phonology[edit]
Vowel[edit]
Compare to other subdialects of Northern Wu, a feature to distinct Huzhou urban dialect and those is it lost the roundness of all front rounded vowels including/y/(romanized as <iu>) and /ø/<oe>, namely turned into unrounded /i/<i> and /e̞/<e>, the two rounded vowels are quite common in other Northern Wu.
Therefore, the phonetic value of two diphthongs /iʉ/<ieu> has a tendency to approach /y/ as compensatory.[3]
Grammar[edit]
