TheDapeng dialect (simplified Chinese:大鹏话;traditional Chinese:大鵬話) is a Chinese dialect, a variant ofCantonese with a strongHakka influence that was originally only spoken on theDapeng Peninsula ofShenzhen,Guangdong,China as well asTung Ping Chau,Hong Kong.[2] The indigenous language spoken inTing Kok village in Hong Kong is also related, with influences from surroundingHakka dialects andCantonese.[3] TheChinese diaspora has spread the dialect to places with large populations whose ancestral roots are originally from Dapeng, Shenzhen, Guangdong. Today, their descendants live inHong Kong; theRandstad region of theNetherlands;Portsmouth, United Kingdom; andNew York City,United States.[4]
The dialect is a form ofJunhua, created as alingua franca by soldiers at theDapeng Fortress, who spoke various forms ofCantonese andHakka.[1] Despite strong influence from Hakka, some, including Lau Chun-Fat, have classified it as a Guan–Bao dialect.[5]
