anonymoose Posted October 31, 2009 at 12:34 PM Report Posted October 31, 2009 at 12:34 PM (edited) Here's a clip of Song Qingling reading out a speech in Shanghainese. However, it seems like the speech is written in Mandarin, and she's just using Shanghainese pronunciation to read the characters out. I just thought some people may be interested, since we've discussed reading using dialectal pronunciation before. Edited November 1, 2009 at 04:15 AM by anonymoose Fixing link Quote

Hofmann Posted November 6, 2009 at 08:11 AM Report Posted November 6, 2009 at 08:11 AM Well, I guess I'll say something. A lot of Cantonese speakers might be used to reading Vernacular Chinese with Cantonese pronunciation and find nothing weird about it, but it rubs me the wrong way. When someone does that, which language are they speaking? Quote
