Puxian (Hinghwa Romanized: (unicode:Pó-sing-gṳ̂)/莆仙語; ), also known as Pu-Xian Chinese, Puxian Min, Xinghua or Hinghwa((unicode:Hing-hua̍-gṳ̂)/興化語; ), is a branch of Min Chinese. Puxian is spoken mostly in Fujian province, particularly in Putian city and Xianyou County (after which it is named), parts of Fuzhou, and parts of Quanzhou. It is also widely used as the mother tongue in Wuqiu Township, Kinmen County, Taiwan. More than 2000 people in Shacheng, Fuding in northern Fujian also speak Puxian. There are minor differences between the dialects of Putian and Xianyou. Overseas populations of Puxian speakers exist in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Speakers of Puxian are also known as Henghua, Hinghua, or Xinghua. ==History== Before the year 979 AD, the Puxian region was part of Quanzhou county and people there spoke a form of Southern Min.〔http://www.taiwanus.net/church/index3/201105272034221335.htm〕〔http://8944.net/read/5344079.html〕 due to its origin in the past. In 979 AD, during the Song Dynasty, the region was administratively separated from Quanzhou and the Chinese spoken there developed separately from the rest of Southern Min. Due to its proximity with Fuzhou, it absorbed some elements of Eastern Min, but its basic linguistic characteristic i.e. grammar and most vocabulary is based on Quanzhou dialect.〔http://baike.baidu.com/view/909013.htm〕 Puxian Min has 62% cognates with Quanzhou dialect (Southern Min) and only 39% cognates with Fuzhou dialect (Eastern Min).〔李如龍、陳章太:《論閩方言內部的主要差異》,《閩語硏究》 pg 58-138. 北京:語文出版社, 1991.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pu-Xian Min」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
