"Old Xiang, also known as Lou-Shao (\u5A04\u90B5\u7247 / \u5A41\u90B5\u7247) is a conservative form of Xiang Chinese. It is spoken in the central areas of Hunan where it has been to some extent isolated from neighboring Chinese varieties, Mandarin and Gan, and it retains the voiced plosives of Middle Chinese, which are otherwise only preserved in Wu dialects like Shanghainese. See Shuangfeng dialect for details."@en . . . "Lou-Shao"@en . . . . "Old Xiang"@en . .
