Taz dialect
variety_data["Taz"] = { --extinct? group = "Mandarin", order = , chinese = "米哈伊洛夫卡（塔茲語）", english = "Mikhaylovka (Taz)", link = "Taz dialect", lat = 43.945306, --Михайловка (Ольгинский район) long = 134.811167 } I'm going to add a 方言點 of spoken in  (not very sure). The name 塔茲語 seems unused outside the Chinese Wikipedia. According to (PDF page 18),  call this dialect da2zihua4. Maybe we can call it 韃子話? what do you think? --沈澄心✉ 14:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Is there any Chinese resource that uses this term for this dialect in particular? If not, I'm not sure if it's appropriate. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 15:57, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen any reliable Chinese resource that mentions this dialect. Perhaps there's no (general) Chinese name for it. --沈澄心✉ 03:45, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm, then let's stick with Wikipedia's name for now. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 03:50, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * why not just omit it 🤷 —Fish bowl (talk) 06:16, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Guangzhou
I was wondering if we should split Guangzhou into two separate entries, one for 東山口音 and one for 西關口音. What do you guys think? The dog2 (talk) 16:52, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I think we've talked about this before, and I said we shouldn't because the distinction is no longer there (like people don't speak with on or the other, but probably a mix of features from both). Wikipedia says that the Xiguan dialect isn't really used anymore. Also, I don't think we have resources to split the two dialects. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 17:09, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Qiaogang, Beihai
Should Beihai-QG be split into two entries, one for and one for  (per 广西北海侨港镇吉婆岛粤方言词汇研究)? --沈澄心✉ 05:59, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think we could. Let's keep Beihai-QG as Cô Tô since that's what we've been dealing with so far (I think) and add another one for Cát Bà, which we could call Beihai-QG-CB? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:06, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Just one thing to ask though. Are there any speakers of these dialects (and Mong Cai Cantonese) left? I thought after the end of the Vietnam War, the ethnic Chinese in the North were mostly expelled, and within Vietnam, only the one in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) in the South remains in significant numbers. The dog2 (talk) 06:25, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Qiaogang - yes, they're Vietnamese Chinese who went back to Guangxi. Mong Cai - they're mostly new-ish residents who come from different parts of Northern Vietnam, and there are around two to three hundred according to 越南芒街市粤方言词汇研究. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:34, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that's OK. 越南芒街市粤方言词汇研究 says "本文将越南芒街市钦廉片粤方言的词汇与祖籍地方言——广西防城港市防城镇钦廉片粤方言，以及广西北海市侨港镇钦廉片粤方言(=Cô Tô Cantonese; Cát Bà Cantonese is 广府片)的词汇分别做对比". --沈澄心✉ 11:44, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Southeast Asian Cantonese labels
Just wondering, should we label the Southeast Asian varieties of Cantonese with either 廣府 or 四邑? After all, both varieties exist in Southeast Asia. For instance, Yangon Cantonese is mostly of the 四邑 variety, while Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore Cantonese are mostly of the 廣府 variety. The dog2 (talk) 01:39, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've gone ahead and added some labels. The Siyi ones are already labelled as Taishan. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 01:45, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Classification of 平南平田村閩語
is 平田村閩語 Puxian Min? 广西平南平田村闽语研究 (published in 2011) classify it as Min Nan, but this thesis also says 据发音人介绍，平田村人的祖先来自福建莆田，从莆田迁出应有三四百年以上的历史了. 中途经广东连滩，迁入广西平南后已繁衍了十四代人——发音人74岁，是家族入广西后的第十二代人. --沈澄心✉ 14:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Looks like Min Nan to me, but I'm not sure. RcAlex36 (talk) 15:41, 18 March 2021 (UTC)


 * It looks more Min Nan than Puxian, I think, e.g. it doesn't seem to have the characteristic lenition /β/ that Puxian Min has. And it's probably safer to follow what the author said. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 20:11, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Kuala Lumpur Hakka
Which variety of Hakka does "Kuala Lumpur-H" represent? --沈澄心✉ 14:57, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Dabu. It's recorded in 马来西亚吉隆坡大埔客家话词汇研究. RcAlex36 (talk) 15:02, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Deqing
There are two Deqings in the code. Should we change the Wu one to Deqing-W? RcAlex36 (talk) 03:22, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, it should be Deqing-W. --沈澄心✉ 07:52, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Szeyap/Siyi Cantonese
Just wondering, shouldn't we put Taishan at the top of the list for the Szeyap variety of Cantonese? To my knowledge, the Taishan dialect is considered to be the prestige dialect of this branch of Cantonese.

I would personally be inclined to group the various Cantonese dialect based on branch, in the much the same way that we group the Min Nan dialect; under Minnan, we group all the Hokkien dialects together, all the Teochew dialects together, and all the Hainanese dialects together. So for Cantonese, I'd be inclined to group them into 廣府片, 四邑片, 高陽片, 吳化片 and so on. The dog2 (talk) 16:35, 29 April 2021 (UTC)


 * We're going with the order in 珠江三角洲方言詞彙對照 because it's our main source on these dialects. Taishan may be considered the representative dialect outside of Mainland China, but I'm not sure about its status in China now. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 17:03, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Shanghai
, I see in a recent edit that you've put a comment on Shanghai. I think we've kind of been using both 上海方言詞典, 上海话大词典 and 上海市区方言志 (as well as other sources) for this, so it's not just 老派 for sure. 上海话大词典 and 上海市区方言志 are 中派 (previously called 新派). I don't think we should necessarily make new fields for different age groups (派). — justin(r)leung { (t...) 03:01, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Dunhuang

 * Should this be split into two entries, one for 河東話 and one for 河西話 (per 中国语言地图集)? --TheDarkKnightLi &#8203;(STAY HAPPY) 02:17, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The only source I'm using for Dunhuang is 普通话基础方言基本词汇集, which records 河東話. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:27, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Raoping & Puning Teochew
what sources are you using for these? --沈澄心✉ 04:46, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, for Raoping, it's 广东省饶平方言记音 (1993) and 饶平县志 (1994); I think the two sources are almost the same if not identical. For Puning, I'm using 普宁县志 (1995). We also have an editor from Puning, Austin Zhang. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:47, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Taiwanese Hakka

 * It's not entirely clear to me which locations they are exactly, and I don't think they are actually specific. The new 新編客家語六腔辭典 tells us that it's these points:


 * 四縣腔：苗栗
 * 海陸腔：新竹竹東
 * 大埔腔：臺中東勢
 * 饒平腔：新竹芎林
 * 詔安腔：雲林崙背
 * 南四縣腔：屏東內埔


 * I think we can assume that this holds for 臺灣客家語常用詞辭典 as well. As for the Hakka Affairs sources (which have been down for a few months), I think they are about the same except that there may be coverage of some additional points, particularly for Raoping (probably Zhuolan and something else), but it doesn't seem clearly indicated.
 * As for Taoyuan, I really don't know what dialect exactly it is. The only source that I've been using for that parameter is 桃园话音档. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 09:50, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Maybe "Taoyuan" (Taoyuan City, not non-Hakka speaking Taoyuan District) can be deprecated? It seems too ambiguous. 沈澄心✉ 09:39, 3 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Hmm, maybe, but we still have a lot of pronunciation data from 桃园话音档 in the dialectal pronunciation modules. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 16:49, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Changing Manjung (Gutian) to Sitiawan (Gutian)
There was some discussion about this on my talk page with @The dog2 and @Justinrleung last year, but there wasn't any outcomes.

If no one disagrees, I'd like to have "Manjung-MD-GT" changed to "Sitiawan-MD-GT". I'll make some changes in this module first and then request for a bot from the Grease pit to search and replace all "Manjung-MD-GT" in the module namespace with "Sitiawan-MD-GT". Long story short, I believe "Manjung" is a misnomer and "Sitiawan" would be more accurate. Lousysofa (formerly NameName233) (talk) 09:59, 11 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. Perhaps might be able to help with the bot request? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 21:43, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
