| | No, that's unfair to those who have put a lot of work into documenting the dialects of eastern China. | | | As the hundreds of video channels on the satellites above Asia begin to fill up, will we eventually see Shanghainese channels? | | | 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! |

| | Shanghai Dialect Introduction: Background |
| | However, Shanghainese and other Wu dialects have been facing a slow and silent decline against the vast dominance of Mandarin in Chinese society over the past fifty years. | | | The interesting struggle between Mandarin and Wu (Kiangsu-Chekiang) in the development of the common language during the early 20th century is documented in DeFrancis's Nationalism and Language Reform in China (1950), excerpts of which can be found at Pinyin.info. | | | This site believes that the debate of language vs. dialect has no relevance on introducing and promoting Shanghainese as it is. |

| | In a series of interviews with Radio Free Asia, some say China has shown it can operate nuclear plants safely, but others cite the dangers of building too many reactors too fast. | | | David Lochbaum, a nuclear safety engineer at the non-profit Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, told RFA's Wu dialect service that China's accelerated program might stretch the available number of qualified nuclear professionals too thin and leave little time to learn from the experience of earlier plants. | | | Similar problems affected the expansion of the U.S. nuclear program in the 1970s, Lochbaum said. |

| | Shanghai Dialect FAQ |
| | 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. | | | Although this claim sounds somewhat exaggerated today, the Shanghai dialect is, without peer, the most influential Wu dialect in the area. | | | 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. |

| | Thomas P.M. Barnett :: Weblog: There is no such thing as "Chinese" |
| | Wu, a dialect spoken in Shanghai, shares only about one-third of Mandarin's lexicon, which is about the same as French and English. | | | Most speak 3-4 dialects and some as many as six, which tend to be as distinct from one another than French is from English. | | | Thing is, only about half of China can speak it. |

| | alot of dialect or languages has been replace with mandarin. | | | These people are not born speaking Mandarin; they learn Mandarin in schools because Wu is not encouraged by PRC (unlike Cantonese, there is not a single Wu-dialect TV station; nor has any developments been made into devising a more suitable script or set of characters for Wu). | | | Most see their purely vernacular dialect as their distinguishing mark; many will argue that Shanghainese sounds far better than Mandarin or Cantonese. |
