From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Xuanzhou Wu (Chinese: 宣州吳語; pinyin: Xuānzhōu Wúyǔ) is the western Wu Chinese language, spoken in and around Xuancheng, Anhui province. The language has declined since the Taiping Rebellion, with an influx of Mandarin-speaking immigrants from north of the Yangtze River.
