	Hui (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hui (徽) dialects are unrelated to the Hui (回) ethnic group of China.
		Hui, or Hui-yu (Simplified Chinese: 徽语; Traditional Chinese: 徽語; Hanyu Pinyin: Huīyǔ), or Huizhou-hua (Simplified Chinese: 徽州话; Traditional Chinese: 徽州話; Hanyu Pinyin: Huīzhōuhuà), is a subdivision of spoken Chinese.
		Hui is spoken over a small area compared to other Chinese varieties: about ten or so mountainous counties in southern Anhui, plus a few more in neighbouring Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

	Spoken Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The general situation is one of dialect continuum where one can understand perfectly people speaking the local dialect and that the intelligibility decreases as the speaker comes from more and more distant regions.
		In southern China where the difference between Standard Mandarin and the local dialect is particularly pronounced, well-educated Chinese are generally fluent in Standard Mandarin, and most people have at least a good passive knowledge of it, in addition to being native speakers of the local dialect.
		The Min dialects are often regarded as being furthest removed linguistically from Standard Mandarin, in phonology, grammar, and vocabulary.

	Beijing dialect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beijing dialect (Simplified Chinese: 北京话, Traditional Chinese: 北京話; pinyin: Běijīnghuà) is the dialect of Mandarin spoken in the urban area of Beijing, China.
		The Beijing dialect is the basis of Standard Mandarin, the standard official Chinese spoken language that is used by the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China on Taiwan, and Singapore.
		Although the Beijing dialect and Standard Mandarin are extremely similar, there are some differences that make it easy for Chinese people to tell between a native of Beijing speaking homegrown Beijing dialect, and a non-native of Beijing speaking Standard Mandarin.

	Chinese language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its pronunciation is based on the Beijing dialect, which is the dialect of Mandarin as spoken in Beijing; its vocabulary is drawn from the Mandarin group and (to a lesser extent) other groups; and its grammar is based on Vernacular Chinese, the standard written language that first became prevalent during the early 20th century.
		From a purely descriptive point of view, “languages” and “dialects” are simply arbitrary groups of similar idiolects, and the distinction is irrelevant to linguists who are only concerned with describing regional speeches scientifically.
		The bulk of these words were originally coined in the Shanghainese dialect during the early 20th century and were later loaned into Mandarin, hence their pronunciations in Mandarin are quite off from the English.

	The Private Eyes
		Michael Hui who got his start in television (which tended to be more experimental then film at the time) was one of the first to bring this hip, contemporary and irreverent attitude to film.
		Hui never overdoes it in a scene — there are times you think he could have gone longer with a routine — milked it for a few more laughs — but he prefers ending it to overstaying its welcome.
		Hui’s comedy is subtler and gentler — full of lovely still or quiet moments - and at least for me this film and the Hui humor has well stood the test of time.

		In southern China where the difference between Standard Mandarin and the local dialect is particularly pronounced, well-educated Chinese are generally fluent in Mandarin, and most people have at least a good passive knowledge of it, in addition to being native speakers of the local dialect.
		The Min (linguistics)Min dialects are often regarded as the dialects furthest removed from Standard Mandarin, in phonology, grammar, and vocabulary.

	Chinese language
		Although, as with Europe, dialects of regional political or cultural capitals were still prestigious and widely used as the region's lingua franca, their linguistic influence depended more on the capital's status and wealth than entirely on the political boundaries of the region.
		There is a tendency to regard dialects as equal variations of a single Chinese language, even though many parts of north China are quite homogeneous in language, unlike parts of south China.
		For example, Sichuan dialect is considered distinct from Beijing dialect in the same way that Cantonese is, although linguists consider Sichuan dialect and Beijing dialect Mandarin dialects, unlike Cantonese.

		The Hui are "Chinese Muslims", in that unlike Uighers or Kazakhs, who are Turkic speaking Muslim citizens of China, the Hui speak the local Chinese dialect and are physically indistinguishable from the Han.
		This illustrates the peculiarity of Hui identity, among other Muslims their similarities to the Han are stark, while around the Han their Muslim religion (and pork avoidance) is most salient.
		Many Hui in fact claim that these atypical individuals are the archetypical exemplars of their group in terms of appearance.

		What are usually called the "dialects" of Chinese are really separate languages, all descended from the Chinese of the T'ang Dynasty.
		It is noteworthy that the extension of Mandarin into the Southwest was in part the result of veterans being settled there after the Mongols were ejected from China and the Ming Dynasty founded.

		In this case the first tone was represented by the basic syllable fen, the second tone by interpolating a silent r, the third tone by doubling the vowel e, and the fourth tone by doubling the final n.
		The adoption of the Peking dialect as the standard marked the abandonment of the "old pronunciation" for a "new pronunciation." The trouble with the old Blue-Green Mandarin, from the point of view of linguistic science, was that it amounted to nothing more than an artificial standard with no basis in living speech.
		But their task was rendered infinitely more difficult when they sought to achieve their goal with a script that was not of the easiest and in a dialect that was almost totally incomprehensible to about a fourth of the population.
