TheJiangyin dialect (Chinese:江阴话;pinyin:Jiāngyīnhuà) is a NorthernWu Chinese dialect spoken in the city ofJiangyin inJiangsu province. The Jiangyin dialect is a member of theWu ChineseTaihu Wu family of dialects, which means the inhabitants speak a dialect similar to that of nearbyWuxi,Changzhou,Suzhou, andShanghai. The Jiangyin dialect itself is of the Piling variety, related to theChangzhou dialect. The Jiangyin dialect has the highest degree ofmutual intelligibility with the dialects of the closest neighboring cities of Changzhou and Wuxi but also has a fairly large degree of mutual intelligibility with the dialects of nearby Suzhou and Shanghai. As one travels south towards Wuxi away from the urban center of Jiangyin, the Jiangyin dialect increasingly sounds closer to theWuxi dialect.
