The original intention of Suzhou girls to promote dialect courses. This Suzhou girl named Yu 'an also has her own small team, and she applied to join not long ago? College spokesperson? A team of language protection volunteers. Yu 'an is very devoted to the study of local dialects, and has been devoted to the study of dialects in his spare time.
Yu 'an, a girl from Suzhou, began to write Suzhou dialect on 20 15, and it took three years to complete the pinyin textbook. At first, she also read a lot of books and materials, but she also encountered many setbacks. But Yu 'an is bent on building a bridge of this dialect, and she wants to expand a path for everyone in the most concise and clear way, so she wrote this pinyin textbook, which has nearly 10 pages.
What efforts have Suzhou girls made to promote dialects? This set of pinyin textbooks bears all the hard work of Yu' an. In order to make her pronunciation more accurate, she walked around the streets asking the local elderly for help, and created a set of authentic Suzhou dialects with the most accurate vocabulary.
Yu Anhe's team also has a cooperative technology company, which inputs Suzhou dialect into AI speech, so that AI can automatically recognize Suzhou dialect and translate it accurately, and then it may create an AI auxiliary software specifically for dialect translation.
Will dialects be replaced by Mandarin? Every region in China has its own dialect, especially in rural areas. People in their hometown still say their own local predictions, and dialects have been completely integrated into their blood. When the younger generation goes out to work, they follow the lifestyle of doing as the Romans do and gradually turn to Mandarin, because if they speak dialects, many people can't understand what it means.
The younger generation of children are exposed to Mandarin at birth, and even parents speak Mandarin to their children. Dialect seems to have little effect on them. As time goes on, maybe many years later, a new generation of children may not be able to speak dialects. Although Mandarin is the most common way of communication, it will not replace local dialects.
I have this experience with people. I have been working outside for a long time. If you suddenly hear your hometown, you will have a sense of familiarity with this person. As soon as I heard that man, I knew he was a fellow villager. This is also the role of dialects. The younger generation seldom speak foreign dialects, mainly because they know what they mean when they speak dialects, and others simply don't understand them, just like listening to gobbledygook. That is, because this embarrassing scene caused by language barrier is avoided, Mandarin has become the link to break the embarrassing scene.
what do you think? Will dialects be replaced by Mandarin one day?
