Languages in Jiangsu

Jiangsu can be broadly divided into two linguistic regions. The southern part of the province is Wu speaking while the northern part is Mandarin speaking. The Suzhou (not Shanghai) dialect of Wu is traditionally considered to be the prestige dialect, so learners Wu will find it spoken in the "purest" form there. The Nanjing dialect of Mandarin differs significanly in pronunciation from standard Mandarin, but nevertheless is still mutually intelligible.
