TheDalian dialect (simplified Chinese:大连话;traditional Chinese:大連話;pinyin:Dàliánhuà,Romaji:Dairen-ben) is a dialect ofMandarin Chinese spoken on theLiaodong Peninsula,China including the city ofDalian and parts ofDandong andYingkou. The Dalian dialect shares many similarities with theYantai dialect andWeihai dialect spoken onShandong Peninsula (Jiaodong Peninsula), to the south of theBohai Strait; hence each of them is a subset ofJiao Liao Mandarin. The Dalian dialect is notable among Chinese dialects forloanwords fromJapanese andRussian, reflecting its history of foreign occupation.^[1]

Notable words in the Dalian dialect include彪 ("foolish") and熊 ("to cheat or deceive").

• biǎng (de)(It is actually the liaison ofbì(婢)yăng(养), almost always followed by an unvoicedde(的)) -【Adjective】: literally means "raised by a maidservant";【Noun】a highly derogatory term to express despise or anger toward certain individual(s).
• piǎ(This Chinese character is not made out yet.) -【Verb】toridicule sb.

• "瓦兒" and "碗兒" are different; "歌兒" and "根兒" are different, vowel of "根兒" is a kind of retroflex mid-central vowel.
• i of "zi,ci,si" is an apical vowel. After erizing,i turns intoer, such as "事兒"ser4.
• The rule ofi,u,ü combining with theerizational vowels is the same as the rule of those combining with the basic vowels, so the tabulation of this part is omitted.

In Dalianian,

• When Tone No.1 meets another Tone No.1 or Tone No.4 meets Tone No.1, usually the previous tone turns to Tone No.5 and the next tone doesn't change, like “家家戶戶”jia'r5-jia'r1-hur6-hur4, “駕崩”jia5-beng1.^[2]
• When Tone No.1 meets Tone No.4, usually the previous tone doesn't change and the next tone turns to Tone No.6, like “蟋蟀”xi1-suai6 orxi3-suar, “稀碎”xi1-sei6.
• When Tone No.4 meets another Tone No.4, usually the previous tone turns to Tone No.5 and the next tone turns to Tone No.6, like “畢恭畢敬”bi5-gongr1-bi5-jingr6, “客客氣氣”ke'r4-ke'r-qi5-qi6.^[3]
• Tone No.5 and Tone No.6 are not basic tones, butmodulations.

According to the predicate structure analysis method of the British linguistsRicci, the Dalian dialect is the same as English and Mandarin - the sentence is generally composed of S+V+O, that issubject +predicate +object of the order, but there are special circumstances, such as the older generation of Dalian people will say "Jiǎ zóu ba! Jiǎ zóu ba! (家走吧!家走吧!)" instead of "Húi jiā ba! Húi jiā ba! (回家吧!回家吧!)". At this time, the sentence is not S+V+O, but S+O+V, that is, subject + object + predicate.

• jiā means "home".
• zǒu means "go".
• húi means "go back to".
• ba means a kind of mood which means "to persuade" or "to urge".
