Characteristics of Hakka dialect

Hakka has strong local characteristics, and almost every city's Hakka has its own characteristics. For example, Xingning dialect does not have words ending in [-m] or [-p], but incorporates them into [-n] and [-t] sounds.

For another example, far from Meixian's Hong Kong accent, the middle vowel [-u-] has disappeared. Therefore, taking "Guang" as an example, Meixian is pronounced as [ku44], and the Hakka people in Hong Kong will pronounce it as [k33], which is similar to the Hakka people in neighboring Shenzhen.

In different Hakka dialects, the tone is also different. The vast majority of Hakka languages have entering tones, and * * * has 6-7 tones. In Changting Chengguan dialect, Rusheng disappeared; Dialects such as Shuiyuanyin retain the tone characteristics of early Hakka, and * * * has seven tones.

Hakkas in Taiwan Province moved from Haifeng and Lufeng. There are posterior gingival sounds ([? ]，[? ]，[t? ]）。 Another mainstream Hakka dialect in Taiwan Province is the dialect of Jiaoling, Pingyuan, Xingning and Meixian counties in Jiaying. ?
