gato Posted July 2, 2007 at 12:31 AM Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 at 12:31 AM I think they are speaking Sichuanese in the excerpt. It sounds like Mandarin with a very heavy accent. Can someone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted July 2, 2007 at 12:39 AM Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 at 12:39 AM Sounds like it to me! But I know there are other dialects that sound similar to Sichuanhua so I won't say it is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted July 2, 2007 at 12:49 AM Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 at 12:49 AM Some of the dialects in Yunnan also sound like Sichuanese since Yunnan is close to Sichuan. It sounded familiar. Here is Tom & Jerry in Sichuanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
