 | | Linguists who distinguish ten instead of seven major groups would then separate Jin from Mandarin, Pinghua from Cantonese, and Hui from Wu. |
 | | There are also many smaller groups that are not yet classified, such as: Danzhou dialect, spoken in Danzhou, on Hainan Island; Xianghua, not to be confused with Xiang, spoken in western Hunan; and Shaozhou Tuhua, spoken in northern Guangdong. |
 | | See List of Chinese dialects for a comprehensive listing of individual dialects within these large, broad groupings. |
