Mandarin** is the least standard
Mandarin is one of the official languages of China and the most widely spoken language in the country. However, due to China's vast territory and many dialects, there are differences in Mandarin pronunciation in different regions, and some regions are even less standard.
According to linguists' research, Mandarin pronunciation in southern China is generally less standard than in northern China. This is mainly due to the large difference in pronunciation between dialects and Mandarin in the southern region, and the relative lag of Mandarin education in the southern region.
Specifically, there are several problems with Mandarin pronunciation in the southern region:
Flat tongue indistinguishable: In southern China, there are common cases of flat tongue indistinguishable, such as pronouncing "chezi" as "cí zi" and "eating fish" as "chī yú".
There is no erific sound: There is no eryl sound in southern China, for example, "child" is pronounced as "xiǎo hái zi" and "old man" is pronounced as "lǎo tóu zi".
Anterior and posterior nasal indistinctions: In southern China, there is a common situation in which the anterior and posterior nasal sounds are not distinguished, such as pronouncing "peasant" as "mín nóng" and "ability" as "néng gàn".
Inaccurate tone: The tone of the dialect in the southern region is quite different from the tone of Mandarin, so the pronunciation of Mandarin in the southern region is prone to errors. For example, pronounce "thing" as "xīng dōng" and "tomorrow" as "míng tiān".
In addition to the southern region, there are also some areas in northern China where the Mandarin pronunciation is not standard. For example, the dialects of Hebei, Shandong and other places are quite different from Mandarin, resulting in the pronunciation of Mandarin in these areas is not standard. In addition, as one of the basic dialects of Mandarin, Beijing dialect also has some different pronunciations and intonations.
In order to improve the popularity and standard degree of Mandarin, ** and all sectors of society have taken a series of measures. For example, the teaching of Putonghua in primary and secondary education has been strengthened, and activities such as Putonghua Publicity Week have been promoted. In addition, with the development of the mobile Internet, more and more ** education platforms have also begun to provide Mandarin learning Xi courses to help people improve their Mandarin proficiency.
In addition to the efforts of ** and society, individuals should also actively learn Xi and improve their Mandarin skills.
For people in the southern region, they can improve their Mandarin pronunciation by listening, speaking, and practicing their Xi more. For example, you can listen to more standard Mandarin pronunciation recordings, speak more basic Mandarin words and sentences, and you can also improve your Mandarin level by participating in Mandarin training classes.
For people in the northern region, they should pay attention to their Mandarin pronunciation and intonation. Although the dialects in the northern region are relatively small and different from Mandarin, if you don't pay attention to correcting your pronunciation and intonation, it will also affect your Mandarin level. For example, you can listen to more standard Mandarin radio and television programs, and pay attention to imitating standard pronunciation and intonation.
Although there are differences in pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary, etc., people in different regions can improve their Mandarin skills as long as they work hard to learn Xi and actively use the standard language. At the same time, we should respect the cultural differences and linguistic diversity of different regions, and promote communication and integration between different regions.
