Sichuanese aka 四川话

[xiaocai]

Last quick note: I think it is weird that you two think it is the best sounding dialect, it is a very ruff, gruff, a 刺耳 dialect.

To me Mianyang accent (actually all the northern accents) is considered very soft. Come down to south (Yibin, Luzhou) and you will hear the real ruff, gruff and 刺耳 Sichuanhua...

Mentioning this in two places but it's relevant to both: there is two entertaining ways of learning/examining Sichuanhua and you can use both Tom & Jerry and Charlie Chaplin!!!

来个四川话谜语吧。

哑巴吃奶，猜一首歌名。（提示：五个字）

So it seems like no one except me is from Sichuan on this forum...

Anyway, the answer is 无言的结局. Maybe someone who had stayed in Sichuan would be able to figure out why now.

I'm guessing this has to do with melamine, but one doesn't need to be from Sichuan to figure that out. (I would never have guessed the actual song title, since I don't know the song.)

Whoa, you actually did attempt this question, quite a surprise to me (coz it seems like 四川话 is not really considered a dialect after all and very few people except for those who live there care about it...).

As for why the answer, it's not really about the melamine stuff, and I think I posted the question before the scandal broke out (maybe more than just a scandal now). Well, 无言 is obviously referring to 哑巴, and 结局 is in fact a pun coz it sounds like "sucking" in 四川话 (but not in all variations I think), and therefore "无言的结局". I have to say it's pretty lame but really gave me a good laugh when I first heard it.
