"Xiao Yuan, can you..."
"Uncle Tan, I've sorted it out for you."
"Good, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Yuan. Are those phonetic symbols dialect words?"
"Yes, but I don't know where they're from."
"Don't worry, we can find out.
Hehe, if the dialect is from our Jiangsu or our Nantong, it would be much easier to pinpoint the location.
Many places have one dialect for half or even the entire province, and although there might be small differences, it's more or less the same. In Nantong alone, there are four or five different dialects, and they can't understand each other."
"Mhm, when I attended the city's math competition, the teachers from various schools chatted together in Mandarin."
It's not because the teachers wanted to promote civility; if they spoke in their own dialects, they might as well have been speaking different languages.
Li Zhiyuan opened a can of drink and handed it to Beibei.
