Ji–Xu Xiang (Chinese:吉漵片;pinyin:Jí Xù piàn;lit. 'Jishou andXupu subgroup'), also known asChen–Xu (Chinese:辰溆片;pinyin:Chén Xù piàn;lit. 'Chenxi and Xupu subgroup'), is aXiang Chinese language spoken in westernHunan that does not fit into the traditionalNew Xiang–Old Xiang dichotomy. It is geographically separated from theNew Xiang dialects that it was traditionally grouped with.
In theLanguage Atlas of China (1987), Xiang was divided into three subgroups.Their Ji-Xu subgroup comprised varieties spoken in the counties ofChenxi,Xupu,Luxi,Jishou,Baojing,Huayuan,Guzhang andYuanling.[1]Bao and Chen (2005) identified five subgroups of Xiang. Their Chen-Xu subgroup included varieties spoken inChenxi,Xupu,Luxi, with the rest of theAtlas's Ji-Xu subgroup classified asSouthwest Mandarin dialects.[2]
