From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guanzhong Hua (关中话) (lit. Language of Guanzhong), spoken in the Shaanxi Guanzhong, including Xi'an, is a version of Zhongyuan Mandarin. Since people from Xi'an, capital city of Shaanxi, are considered as the typical Guanzhong Hua speaker, Guanzhong Hua sometimes is referred as Shaanxi Hua (陕西话), or Xi'an Hua (西安话). However, the dialects spoken in Northern Shaanxi and Southern Shaanxi differ a lot from Guanzhong Hua.
Guanzhong Hua is being assimilated by Standard Mandarin, but still retains much grammar and pronunciation from the Classical Chinese.
