Gan, Guan or Yue?[edit]
A number of sources assert that Jiujiang is a Gan or Guan dialect (related to Mandarin), rather than Yue (Cantonese). Could someone who knows chime in, please? Waitak (talk) 19:09, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
- Wang Li (1939) has it in the Jiang-Huai dialect of Mandarin. From Kurpaska (2010), it appears that there are other classifications, but I don't have access to all of it. Our Yuehai article has it there, but whoever drew it up didn't leave their sources. — kwami (talk) 19:43, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
@Waitak, Kwamikagami, and Sonic99: I've added a source to help make the article a little more reliable, but it seems this dialect is quite underdocumented. I might also be better if we turned this into a disambiguation page and move the current article to Jiujiang Cantonese or Jiujiang dialect (Yue). — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 23:55, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Kanguole: pinging you as well since you've recently edited the article. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 00:09, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
