Sanxiang dialect, at the southern periphery of Zhongshan City |
Sanxiang (in Cantonese Samheung, in the language itself Sahiu) is a variety of Eastern Min[clarification needed] or Southern Min[clarification needed] Chinese mostly spoken in Sanxiang in Zhongshan in the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong, China.[5][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.[6][7]
