The Zhangzhou dialects (simplified Chinese: 漳州话; traditional Chinese: 漳州話; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chiang-chiu-ōa), also rendered Changchew,[4] Chiangchew or Changchow,[5] are a collection of Hokkien dialects spoken in southern Fujian province (in southeast China), centered on the city of Zhangzhou. The Zhangzhou dialect proper is the source of some place names in English, including Amoy (from [ɛ˨˩ mui˩˧], now called Xiamen), and Quemoy (from [kim˨ mui˩˧], now called Kinmen).

Classification

[edit]

The Zhangzhou dialects are classified as Hokkien, a group of Southern Min varieties.[6] In Fujian, the Zhangzhou dialects form the southern subgroup (南片) of Southern Min.[7] The dialect of urban Zhangzhou is one of the oldest dialects of Southern Min, and along with the urban Quanzhou dialect, it forms the basis for all modern varieties.[8] When compared with other varieties of Hokkien, it has an intelligibility of 89.0% with the Amoy dialect and 79.7% with the urban Quanzhou dialect.[9]

Phonology

[edit]

This section is mostly based on the variety spoken in the urban area of Zhangzhou.

Initials

[edit]

There are 15 phonemic initials:[10]

Bilabial Alveolar Velar Glottal
plain sibilant[b]
Plosive/
Affricate
plain /p/ ⟨p⟩
邊 / 边
/t/ ⟨t⟩
/ts/ ⟨ch⟩
/k/ ⟨k⟩

Fricative /s/ ⟨s⟩

When the rime is nasalized, the three voiced phonemes /b/, /l/ and /g/ are realized as the nasals [m], [n] and [ŋ], respectively.[10][11]

Rimes

[edit]

There are 85 rimes:[10][12]

The vowel /a/ is the open central unrounded vowel [ä] in most rimes, including /a/, /ua/, /ia/, /ai/, /uai/, /au/, /iau/, /ã/, /ãʔ/.[10][13] In the rimes /ian/ and /iat/, /a/ is realized as [ɛ] (i.e. as [iɛn] and [iɛt̚])[13] or [ə] (i.e. as [iən] and [iət̚]).[10]

The rimes /iŋ/ and /ik/ are usually realized with a short [ə] between the vowel [i] and the velar consonant.[10] In many areas outside of the urban area of Zhangzhou, including Pinghe, Changtai, Yunxiao, Zhao'an and Dongshan, /iŋ/ and /ik/ are pronounced as /eŋ/ and /ek/ instead.[14]

The codas /p/, /t/ and /k/ are unreleased, i.e. [p̚], [t̚] and [k̚], respectively.[10]

Tones

[edit]

There are seven tones:[10]

No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Tone name dark level
陰平 / 阴平
light level
陽平 / 阳平
rising
上聲 / 上声
dark departing
陰去 / 阴去
light departing
陽去 / 阳去
dark entering
陰入 / 阴入
light entering
陽入 / 阳入
Tone contour ˦ (44) ˩˧ (13) ˥˧ (53) ˨˩ (21) ˨ (22) ˧˨ (32) ˩˨˩ (121)
Example hanzi / / / /

Most people in the urban area do not pronounce the dark level tone as high-level, but slightly mid-rising.[10][15] While most sources still records this tone as 44,[16][17] its tone value has also been recorded as 24,[18][19] 45,[20] 34[15] or 35[21] to reflect its rising nature.

Tone sandhi

[edit]

The Zhangzhou dialect has nine tone sandhi rules: only the last syllable of nouns and clause endings remain unchanged by tone sandhi. The two-syllable tone sandhi rules are shown in the table below:[22]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Min is believed to have split from Old Chinese, rather than Middle Chinese like other varieties of Chinese.[1][2][3]
  2. ^ The place of articulation of the alveolar phonemes /ts/, /tsʰ/, /s/ and /dz/ is slightly further back, as if between that of [ts] and [tɕ]; palatalization of these phonemes is especially obvious before rimes that begin with /i/, e.g. [d͡ʑip̚].[10][11]
