Guanzhong dialect (Chinese: 关中话/關中話; pinyin: Guānzhōng huà), is a dialect of Zhongyuan Mandarin spoken in Shaanxi's Guanzhong region, including the prefecture-level city of Xi'an.[1] Since people from Xi'an are considered the prototypical Guanzhong speakers, Guanzhong dialect is sometimes referred to as Shaanxi hua 陕西话/陕西話 or Xi'an hua 西安话/西安話. However, the dialects spoken in northern and southern Shaanxi differ substantially from that of Guanzhong, and the Hanzhong dialect has more similarities with Sichuanese Mandarin than with Central Plains Mandarin.
