Xi'anese (西安話／西安话 (Xǐ'ngǎnhuā)) is the representative variety of Guanzhong Mandarin (關中話／关中话 (Guǎnbvěnghuā)). Xi'an has served as the capital of many historical Chinese dynasties, including the Han and the Tang. Guanzhong Mandarin varieties tend to be, in general, quite similar, though some features, such as the -o rimes and tone sandhi, may vary from place to place. A more conservative variety of Xi'anese is adopted on Wiktionary.
A modified version of Hanyu Pinyin, based on that seen in關中方言大詞典, is used on Wiktionary. All pinyin rules apply.
