Shao–Jiang Min

Shao–Jiang orShaojiang Min (simplified Chinese:邵将;traditional Chinese:邵將;pinyin:Shàojiāng) is aMin Chinese language centered on WesternNanping in NorthwestFujian, specifically in the Nanping counties ofGuangze,Shaowu, and WesternShunchang and the NorthernSanming county ofJiangle.

Shao–Jiang developed fromNorthern Min (Min Bei), and was deeply influenced byGan Chinese andHakka Chinese. The classification of Shao–Jiang is disputed. It is frequently classified as a variety of Northern Min, but sometimes it is excluded from Min and classified as Gan Chinese instead. But it ismutually intelligible with neither other Northern Min nor other Gan. Actually it is a collection of dialects which have limited mutual intelligibility with each other instead of a coherent language. Some Chinese scholars call themMin-Gan varieties (闽赣方言),Min-Gan transitional varieties (闽赣过渡方言) orMin-Hakka-Gan transitional varieties (闽客赣过渡方言).
