. . "New Xiang"@en . "New Xiang, also known as Chang-Yi (\u957F\u76CA\u7247 / \u9577\u76CA\u7247) is the dominant form of Xiang Chinese. It is spoken in northeastern areas of Hunan adjacent to areas where Southwestern Mandarin and Gan are spoken. Under their influence, it has lost some of the conservative phonological characteristics that distinguish Old Xiang. While most linguists follow Yuan Jiahua in describing New Xiang as a subgroup of Xiang Chinese, Zhou Zhenhe and You Rujie classify it as Southwestern Mandarin."@en . . . "Chang-Yi"@en . . .
