Dialect in Home city
I come from Nanjing.We speak Nanjing Dialect.However,some of the Nanjing dialect has disappeared.Now i want to introduce some information about my language.Here is a picture of Nanjing Tone.
Nanjing dialect is the combination of the Mandarin language and the Wu language(spoken in Shanghai,Suzhou,Hangzhou)
As you can seen in the first picture,the first tone and fourth tone are almost the opposite of what they are in the Standardized Mandarin.
However,for decades education,television and radio have been conducted almost soley in mandarin so younger people's accent will not be as heavy.
Here is funny video made by some Nanjingers.I think this video is very authentic.
