Sanxiang dialect, at the southern periphery of Zhongshan City |
Sanxiang (in Cantonese Samheung, in the language itself Sahiu) is a Min variety of either Southern Min [5][ clarification needed] or Eastern Min[ clarification needed] Chinese mostly spoken in Sanxiang in Zhongshan in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong, China. [6][ failed verification] Despite its close proximity, Sanxiang is not very closely related to the surrounding dialects in the region, which belong to the Yue group, and thus forms a "dialect island" of Min speakers. It is one of three enclaves of Min in Zhongshan, the others being Longdu and Nanlang. [7] [8]
