I. Longmen Dialect

"Longmen Dialect" is the most widely distributed and spoken dialect in Longmen County. Distributed in Longcheng, Wangping, Dipai, Tiegang, Zuotan, Lantian, Tiantangshan, Longhua, Sha Run, Yonghan, Maqua, Youtian and so on more than ten townships, towns, farms, the use of the population of more than 160,000 people. "Longmen dialect is a sub-dialect of the Cantonese dialect system. It is a sub-dialect of the Yue dialect system, which includes the Pearl River Delta dialects and the Zhaoqing dialect. Delta dialects, Zhaoqing dialect, Huaxian dialect, Dongguan dialect and Zengcheng dialect, it belongs to the sub-dialects of Yuehai system, and it is similar to Guangzhou dialect. Guangzhou dialect is also called "provincial dialect" or "white dialect". In the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), Longmen County Records - Volume 5 reads: "The language of the county is spoken in provincial dialect or Hakka dialect, which is not yet the same in all districts and townships, except that the first district is purely spoken in provincial dialect". As Longcheng Township since Longmen County are the county seat, with its political, economic and cultural center of influence, Longcheng Township, Longmen County is the county seat. The influence of its political, economic, and cultural center, Longmen dialect naturally plays the role of Longmen County's central dialect (i.e. representative dialect) in the long-term social life.

Phonetically, Longmen dialect has two tones: high tone (e.g., the tones of the words poetry, brother, flower, goose, etc.) and low tone (e.g., the tones of the words ladder, chicken, magic, science, sky, etc.); the upper tone does not distinguish between yin and yang, and the lower tone is read by the yin in the lower ascending tone (e.g., the tones of the words shaku and pat) and the yang in the higher descending tone (e.g., the tones of the words white and human), which appears to be a little bit different from that of Guangzhou dialect, and this is a main factor that makes Longmen dialect phonetically different from that of Guangzhou dialect. This is one of the main factors that make Longmen dialect phonetically different from Guangzhou dialect. This is one of the main factors that make Longmen dialect phonetically different from Guangzhou dialect. Another main factor is that Longmen dialect has consonants (nt - e.g., the consonants of "而", "耳", and "儿"), as well as rhyming consonants, which Guangzhou dialect does not have.

-iak (rhymes with kick, tin)

-iet (rhymes with heat, etch)

-iem (rhymes with check, curtain)

-ien (rhymes with even, front)

-iep (接、涉的韵母)

-yen (酸、权的韵母)

-yet (缺、月的韵母)

Vocabulary, the majority of the words in Longmen are the same as in Guangzhou, but there are some differences. The words have a strong local color. For example:

Longmen dialect Guangzhou dialect

Poppy wasp Horse wasp

Chicken Lan′ chicken item

Duck Chun′ duck egg

Tofu mold curd

Shuotuo 系呢度

Tow box 櫃统

Red (pig's red, cow's red) Blood (pig's blood, cow's blood)

Eye sleep′ Eye training

Going to chat′ visiting relatives

Urn tank Water tank

Douzi Peanut

Ou Zai Small Bowl

Washing body′ swimming

Staying′ Li (ngui nei) I land

Lai □ (ding) Border

There are a part of words in Longmen dialect which have retained the form of monosyllabic words of the ancient Chinese language. For example: ou zai (small bowl), wok (iron pot), flick (take), tooth (teeth), whiskers (beard), vomit (vomit), cough (cough), shirt (clothes), eye (eyes), know (know), crab (crab), fright (fear), wing (wing), and so on. In addition, some words in Longmen dialect often carry suffixes, for example, some male animals are called "guu" (cattle bullock, pig bullock, dog bullock); female animals are called "feminine" (cattle feminine, pig feminine, dog feminine).

Grammatically, although Longmen's vocabulary is slightly different from Guangzhou's, the syntactic structure is basically the same. For example:

Longmen dialect Guangzhou dialect

Did you go to Lai □ (di fist ng)? You go to Biandu?

Dull ′ (ngui) to see how many swing. I see how many even.

You eat rice (mi)? You're not eating?

Did you talk for a day and leave? You've been playing all day, haven't you?

The ngui is a dieng. That's where I am.

Who are you? You're the one who's not.

Also, there are some variations in the Longmen dialect, which cause changes in the meaning of words, for example, "洗身", which means "swimming" in the first key, and "游泳" in the third key, which means "swimming" in the third key. For example, "洗身", in the first key, "洗身" means "to swim", while "洗身" in the third key means "to take a shower": "呆"(ngui) means "we"′, while "呆"(ngui) means "to stay". ngui" means "I", and "qan" means "spring" in "duck spring" (qan), the tone is "spring" in the first tone, while "qan" means "spring" in the first tone. Spring" (qan), the tone is the first tone of "春", while "春" (spring), the tone is the third tone, which is a far cry from the meanings of the two words. However, there is a pattern in the Longmen dialect, that is, generally the tone of yinping (1) becomes yin de (3), or the tone of yin de (3) becomes yinping (1), and each other is a variation of the tone.

The Longmen dialect can be further divided into the customary names of Mazhonghua, Yonghanhua, Sha Runhua, Longhua, and Zuotanhua, etc., because there are subtle differences between them, for example, the Longmen dialect says, "Do you go to Lai Deng? In Sha Run, they say, "Are you going to Shan Shu?" And in Maqua, "You go to Siwu (dieng)?" and in Mazhong, "Do you go to Siwu (dieng)?". The three local languages of Sha Run, Yonghan and Maqua are similar to the "Zengcheng dialect" in both phonetics and vocabulary, while the "Shanglongmen" above Longhua and Longmen are more unified in the "Longmen dialect".

The Hakka dialect

The Hakka dialect is mainly found in Pingling, Longjiang, Nankunshan, Mixi, and Hakka.

The Hakka dialects distributed in different towns and villages are relatively consistent with each other, only certain words and characters are slightly different phonetically. Due to historical and geographical origin? cause, the areas within the county and neighboring counties influence each other and have their own characteristics. The Hakka dialect popular in the area of Dipai and Lantian is very similar to the Xinfeng dialect of Xinfeng; the Hakka dialect popular in Yonghan and Maqua is very similar to the Hakka dialect of Zengcheng; the Hakka dialect popular in Pingling Aizi is similar to the Hakka dialect of the neighboring Boro Gongzhuang and there are also many similarities.

The Hakka dialect in Longmen County is quite different from the Meizhou dialect, which is the representative of the Hakka dialect in Meizhou City (Meijiang and Meixian Districts) with Meicheng accent. For example, the Hakka dialect of Mazha has the semi-vowel consonant j (the consonant of the pronunciation of words such as "若、約、闰、而"), the tongue-middle vowel c (the consonant of the pronunciation of words such as "休、去、虚、玄"), the nasal consonants y and n complementing each other, and the rhyming consonants ai (such as "卫、委、威、") and "". The nasal consonants y and n complement each other, and there are rhymes ai (e.g., the rhymes for the sounds of the words "卫、委、威、违"). Due to the influence of the Cantonese dialect, there are many words with a strong Cantonese coloring. For example: arguing neck (争辩), epileptic (describing a person's nerves? abnormal), bad (not good), wind chestnut (chestnut), loose paper (change), store head (store), head first (at first), yan day (noon) and so on, all of which are not found in Meizhou Hakka dialect. In addition, the Hakka dialect has also preserved some words from ancient Chinese, such as: 俩子爷 (two fathers and sons), 其 (he), 好采 (fortunately), ou (small bowl), wok (iron pot) and so on. There are also some idioms with strong local color, such as: three fishing four clip (meaning clutter), etc., and doubt (you), cliff throw (we), fall room (into the room), fall hall (after class), clip (narrow?) and so on, all of which constitute a feature of Longmen Hakka dialect.

Third, the local language

In Pingling, Longjiang? Some of the natural villages around the popularity of a non-Hakka language, but also with the Longmen language is very different from the local vernacular, the local people used to be called "Huangsha language", "Zutang language", "Gelang language" and so on. The local people used to call it "Huangsha dialect", "Zutang dialect" and "Gelang dialect". It is mainly distributed in Huangsha, Zutang, Chenguang of Pingling and Gelang, Guangwei, Liangliang of Longjiang. Because it is mainly distributed in Pingling, Huangsha, Zutang, Chenguang and Longjiang, Gelang, Guangwei, Liangkouang, etc., it is also called "Da Lu Hakka dialect", with a population of more than 20,000 speakers. The local dialect is very similar to Huizhou dialect, Heyuan dialect and Boluo dialect in terms of phonology and vocabulary, and belongs to a special branch of Cantonese dialect distributed in the middle and upper reaches of the Dongjiang River. a special branch in the middle and upper reaches of the river. It is closer to Guangzhou dialect and Longmen dialect, and is also strongly influenced by Hakka dialect. Its declension is divided into two tones, yin and yang, and in addition to the two "in" tones, there are six other tones in ShuSheng, with yin and yang being the tones of high and medium (or high intermediate and intermediate) level, respectively; there are w-j-two feng vowel consonants (e.g., those for the pronunciation of the words "围"、"伪"、"延"、"運"); there is a handful of mouth calls and a single consonant. There are also the pikou hu and the single vowels -y and -Ce (e.g., the vowels for the pronunciation of the words liang, xu, jia, etc.); there are the a-vowel and the vowels -ai, -an, -am, etc. (e.g., the vowels for the pronunciation of the words di, lou, han, etc.), which are all similar to those of Guangzhou and Longmen dialects. These are similar and consistent with Guangzhou and Longmen dialects. On the other hand, there are high and low tonal values in Yang Dao, and the ancient turbulent cephalic consonants are pronounced as air-feeding consonants (e.g., the consonants of the words "夺", "道", and "洞"), which indicate that the dialect has the phonetic components of the Hakka dialect, but is also very different. For example, the Hakka word for "head" is pronounced as "tai" (toi) in the local language; the Hakka word for "go" is pronounced as "zuo" (zoi) in the local language. The Hakka word for "go" is pronounced as "zuoi" in the local dialect, which is very different from each other.

As for vocabulary, most of the basic words characteristic of the local dialect, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, quantifiers, locatives, time words, and a large number of idioms and idiomatic expressions, are basically the same as those of Guangzhou and Longmen. In addition, some words are influenced by Hakka and accepted. For example: Bowls (big bowls), noses (noses), salted eggs (salted eggs), Lao Mei (sister), Lao Di (brother), pigs (boars), pigs (sows), food (breakfast), food (dinner), and so on. However, some of the words also have many differences. Grammatically, however, they are largely consistent with Longmen and Hakka. For example:

Local: Hakka:

Dull Li (ngoili) Yadu (we)

Lao Li (laoli) Someone else's home (others)

Do (zu) five Do Pulse Gee (what to do)

Four, Lushi language

It also belongs to the Cantonese dialect and is a special branch of the Dongjiang? It is a special branch in the middle and upper reaches of the Dongjiang River. It has a population of nearly 10,000 speakers. The reason why Lushi is regarded as a special language is that apart from its distribution only in Lushi town, it is phonetically self-contained and very different from Longmen dialect, Hakka dialect and local dialect. For example: nin (to tremble), lai (to lose); "Go to Naiju?" cnunaiju (go where?). ; "Nai who??" naiseu (which one?). ) etc.; it has its own special language and vocabulary.
