Xuzhou is located in the north of Jiangsu, and people in southern Jiangsu call Xuzhou scrotum, because this place belongs to Shandong in the early days of liberation. Xuzhou people themselves said: "The barbarians crossed the northern Xinjiang, and Xuzhou smelt slag." What does this slag smelting mean? The older generation of Xuzhou people can't say clearly, as if Xuzhou is neither south nor north. If so, Xuzhou dialect can explain the problem very well.

Jiangsu dialect is basically called Sunan dialect and Subei dialect. Southern Jiangsu dialect is dominated by Wu dialect, and the language of Suzhou and Wuxi is dominant. From Changzhou to Danyang, dramatic changes have taken place. The dialect here is difficult to understand, especially in rural areas. When it comes to Zhenjiang, it is very close to Subei dialect.

From Yangzhou to Huai 'an, the main body of Subei dialect was formed. Therefore, Xuzhou dialect is actually an area where Subei dialect has changed to Shandong dialect, so many difficult words have been formed. Everyone in Xuzhou knows that Xuzhou dialect has undergone this change from Suining to Suqian. From a small area, the dialects of these two places are very different from those of Xuzhou and Huai 'an.
