TheQuzhou dialect (衢州話; pronouncedWu Chinese pronunciation:[d̥͡ʒ̊y.tɕiɯ.ɦuɑ]^{[missing tone]} in the Quzhou dialect) is adialect ofWu Chinese spoken inQuzhou, China.

The Quzhou dialect is considered to have seven tones. However, since the tone split from Middle Chinese, characters still depend on the voicing of the initial consonant. These constitute just three phonemic tones:ping,shang, andqu. (Ru syllables are phonemically toneless.)

The first example can be compared with Japanese: あなたは私の友達だよ。(anata wa watashi no tomodachi dayo.) Here, 啘 resembles Japanese だよ (dayo).
