Shanghainese (上海話 / 上海话, Zaonhegho, 上海閒話 / 上海闲话, Zaonhe-ghegho, 滬語 / 沪语, Wu nyu)
Native to: China
Region: City of Shanghai and surrounding Yangtze River Delta
Ethnicity: Shanghainese
Native speakers: 10–14 million (2013)
Language family: Sino-Tibetan
is a variety of Wu Chinese spoken in the central districts of the City of Shanghai and its surrounding areas. It is classified as part of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Shanghainese, like other Wu variants, is mutually unintelligible with other varieties of Chinese, such as Mandarin.
Shanghainese belongs to the Taihu Wu subgroup and contains vocabulary and expressions from the entire Taihu Wu area of southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang. With nearly 14 million speakers, Shanghainese is also the largest single form of Wu Chinese. It serves as the lingua franca of the entire Yangtze River Delta region.
Shanghainese is rich in vowels [i y ɪ ʏ e ø ɛ ə ɐ a ɑ ɔ ɤ o ʊ u] (twelve of which are phonemic) and in consonants. Like other Taihu Wu dialects, Shanghainese has voiced initials [b d ɡ ɦ z v dʑ ʑ]: neither Cantonese nor Mandarin has voiced initial stops or affricates. The Shanghainese tonal system is also significantly different from other Chinese varieties, sharing more similarities with the Japanese pitch accent, with two-level tonal contrasts (high and low), whereas Cantonese and Mandarin are typical of contour tonal languages.
