User:Dokurrat/Voiceless entering tone, etc.

I speak a dialect of Mandarin. There're several more voiceless entering-toned characters that are pronounced as rising tone in my accent than Putonghua.

Bold = pronunciation not found in Putonghua.


 * 福 fu2~fu3
 * 節 jie2~jie3
 * 血 xue3~xie3; xue4 for chengyu
 * 覺 jue2~jue3~jiao3 (Note: I think jiao3 is rare in my accent but definately understandable)

Not my accent but I commonly hear them:


 * 質 zhi4~zhi3
 * 室 shi4~shi3

I hear them less common:


 * 國 guo2~guo3

Deroundedness in my dialect

Bold = pronunciation not found in Putonghua.


 * 弄 is pronounced neng4
 * 誰 is pronounced shei2; shui2 is only reserved for Putonghua.
 * I guess both xue3 and xie3 are still popular, but I don't know the situation in younger generation.
 * I only pronounce 劣 as lüe4; but I think this pronunciation is competing with Putonghua's lie4 and will not survive very long; Maybe I'll be the last generation to pronounce so. (But predicting can be wrong. No one has a cristal ball...)

Rhoticization in my dialect
