Shanghaier, not Shanghainese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anisomycin (talk • contribs) 23:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

There are both Wu-Yue and Ou-Yue in the list. Is not it a mistake? -- Gregean 10:34, 19 June 2006

[edit] Unreferenced and dubious statements?

A lot of weasel words ("Some might consider...") in this article; no references. The stuff about one term being used in mainland China and another in Taiwan is unreferenced. Problems with the list, as pointed out above. What on earth is Ou-Yue anyway? Also needs Chinese characters. Wuyue is a defunct state from 1000 years ago. I've never heard it being used to reference a distinct ethnic subgroup. --Sumple (Talk) 07:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Wuyue is linked to Jiangnan (Yangtze delta region) which is definitely a subgroup of Chinese.

[edit] this article really needs to be redone

This seems to just list a bunch of regions in China, with only a few actual peoples with Wikipedia articles. Can anyone with expertise on the subject comment? Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 04:09, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I changed it to add only ethnic groups with articles. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 23:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, someone with intelligence. This article was poorly created using terms which were outdated. Szechwan should be spelt as Sichuan. --Visik (talk) 13:58, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hoklo vs Min vs Fujianese

Are they all synonymous, or is one a subgroup of the other? Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 23:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Fujian people who speaks a variant of Min should be grouped as Min. Hoklo = Fujianese = Min people.

[edit] Someone keeps adding red links

Please, whoever it is, stop it. Those alleged ethnic groups need their own referenced articles to be linked to by this one. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 08:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Just to clarify: That isn't to say that you shouldn't find sources of their existance - by all means do, it's just that it can't remain as a sourceless red link. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 20:03, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Once again, please add the links only once they have sourced articles. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 05:03, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Expanded article

I expanded the article into information "by dialect" and "by region" so it's not just a list. Currently the "by dialect" section is somewhat small (and looks somewhat strange with all the sub-sections), so any help with that would be appreciated. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 08:04, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I cleaned up the "by dialect" section. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 04:36, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
