Tianjin dialect, which belongs to the new list of Central Plains Mandarin, refers to the dialect spoken by people in a triangular dialect island with a sharp south and a bottom north, that is, Tianjin dialect. There are obvious differences between Tianjin dialect and Putonghua, mainly in pronunciation and tone: from the initial consonants, Tianjin dialect generally reads the postacute sounds zh, ch and sh of Putonghua as pre-acute sounds Z, C and S respectively, such as "Zhong" as "total", "Chi" as "one" and "Shan" as "three". I and r are mixed, such as: "person" reads "silver" and "meat" reads "you"; If an open vowel is a scale, the first letter "n" should be added before it, for example, "love" is pronounced "resistance" and "goose" is pronounced "ne". Another feature of Tianjin dialect is the use of some special words, such as what is "horse", what is interesting and what is interesting. Tone is the biggest feature of Tianjin dialect: Tianjin dialect and Putonghua have four tones, but the actual pronunciation of each tone is obviously different, especially in tone, Putonghua is pronounced as treble and Gao Pingtiao, while Tianjin dialect is pronounced as bass and flat tone.
Although the area of Tianjin is not too large, there are still some differences in Tianjin dialect. It is generally believed that the pronunciation of Tianjin dialect is the purest in Nankai District, which is equivalent to the old city (that is, the only four roads in Tianjin that are due south and north: the area surrounded by East Road, South Road, West Road and North Road), the nearby heather area and the area near Niangniang Palace.
