Shantou
Just wondering how you know that video's from Shantou. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 02:04, 21 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Mainly deduced from the accent. And also, the vehicle registration plates in the background indicate Shantou (粵D). The dog2 (talk) 02:19, 21 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I see. It's interesting that you noticed the licence plates. That said, 粵D is used throughout Shantou, which would include Chaoyang, Chenghai, Chaonan and Nan'ao, which are slightly different from Shantou. Are there any clues that would distinguish it from these other regions? — justin(r)leung { (t...) 07:45, 21 July 2020 (UTC)


 * It's definitely not Chenghai, because the Chenghai accent lacks bilabial consonant finals, while Shantou accent has them (as you can hear in the pronunciation of 十). Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the Chaoyang, Chaonan and Nan'ao accents, but the way the vowels are pronounced in the are consistent with that of the Shantou accent. Based on this, it seems that the pronunciation of 挈 in the video does not match Chaonan or Nan'ao. And also, this is consistent with the general pattern of 跤 in Hokkien being replaced by 下 in Teochew. The dog2 (talk) 16:27, 21 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Alright, I think we could just keep it for Shantou for now. Mogher entries aren't necessarily vetted, so it's not that reliable - I wouldn't use it for the dialectal modules. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 17:03, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
