There is lots of dialects in China like Mandarin, Taiwanese, Cantonese, Fu Zhou and Shanghainese.
I am going to talk about Shanghainese.
Shanghainese has been around for 700 years. There is now even different types of Shanghainese
and in most dialects there are four tones, in Shanghainese there is 7. It is mostly spoken in Shanghai. In 2013 23.9 million people spoke Shanghainese and in July 2014 the population was 1,355,692,576. That's a lot of people. Shanghainese and Mandarin are very close some words are still the same, though Shanghai still has books, drama, folk songs, poems, riddles, tongue twisters, The News, and TV shows, so do we. The difference between Mandarin, English and Shanghainese is:
I hope you learnt a little about the Shanghai language. Here are some facts about Shanghai.
