Thank you for that link. How do I do a search on terms at that site?Mark Yong wrote:This is a nice website on the Shanghai dialect that I found recently:

It looks as though the website is only partially complete, with development ending around late-2005. Nonetheless, it has quite a nice repository of information on the dialect.

Re: Shanghainese?
Shanghainese or the Shanghai language is a dialect of Wu Chinese spoken in the city of Shanghai and the surrounding region. It is classified as part of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. Shanghainese, like other Wu dialects, is largely not mutually intelligible with other Chinese varieties such as Mandarin. The term "Shanghainese" in English sometimes refers to all Wu Chinese dialects, though it is only partially intelligible with some other subbranches of the Wu language group.
