Jining dialect * * * has 2 1 initials, 35 finals and 4 basic tones. Compared with Putonghua, its characteristics are mainly manifested in the following four aspects:
First, there is no distinction between initials and finals, that is, initials before the tip of the tongue and initials after the tip of the tongue. Such as "four things".
Second, Hua Er has an influence on initials.
Thirdly, in terms of tone, Jining dialect has two tone categories with basically the same tone type (both falling tone and falling tone), and the tone values are not much different (2 13 and 3 12 respectively), which is not as clear and easy to distinguish as Mandarin tone categories.
Fourthly, vowels are monosyllabic and nasalized.
