[edit] 3rd Most populous province?

According to the Times World Atlas and a number of other sources Sichuan has the largest population of any province in China with about 109,980,000 million people - a lot more than the 86,730,000 cited in this article. I have seen other sources which give a figure in the 80 millions. Does anyone have any explanation for these disparities?

Don't forget a fair-sized chunk of Sichuan was split off as Chongqing municipality in 1997. Your reference probably predates that. -- Curps 02:14, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Yep.. Sichuan was the most populous province of China until the establishment of Chongqing municipality. -- ran (talk) 02:35, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Language

Could someone add information about the Sìchuān dialect please? --LakeHMM 04:51, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Umm... I can do it tomorrow, but right now I've got to finish stuff from school first... -- ran (talk) 05:02, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Very well done! Thanks so much. --LakeHMM 21:41, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mongke Khan is not died in sicuan,he died in hechuan chongqing

1259-1264 On their way to attack the Song city of Hezhou, hundreds, including Mongke, die. In 1260 the Mongols suffer their first major defeat near Ain Jalut against the Mamluks. Kublai becomes their next khan in 1264. form: http://www.royalalbertamuseum.ca/vexhibit/genghis/timeline.htm

[[Hezhou]] is the old name of hechuan,a county of chongqing,so Mongke Khan is die in chongqing,not in sichuan,please refer to People's Republic of China.
