Ji-Lu Mandarin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ji Lu Mandarin (simplified Chinese: 冀鲁官话; traditional Chinese: 冀魯官話; pinyin: jìlǔguānhuà) is a Mandarin dialect spoken in the Chinese provinces of Hebei and Shandong. Despite these areas being quite near Beijing, Ji Lu sounds quite different from Beijing dialect, which is the basis for Standard Mandarin, the standard Chinese spoken language.
