Waxiang () is a divergent variety of Chinese, spoken by the Waxiang people, an unrecognized ethnic minority group in the northwestern part of Hunan province, China. Waxiang is a distinct language, very different from its surrounding Southwestern Mandarin, Xiang and Qo Xiong languages. Waxiang may share some lexical innovations with Bai, suggesting a possible Macro-Bai substratum.〔http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_8967627a0101rnbv.html〕〔http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_8967627a0101du6j.html〕 It has also been suggested that perhaps Waxiang is a mixed language of Xiang and Miao. ==Distribution== Waxianghua is found in Luxi, Guzhang and Yongshun counties in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Zhangjiajie prefecture-level city (in Dayong 大庸), and Chenxi, Xupu and Yuanling counties in Huaihua prefecture-level city. Neighboring languages include Southwestern Mandarin, Xiang Chinese, Tujia, Qo Xiong, and Hm Nai. *"hua" means ''speech'' in Mandarin Chinese, *"xiang" means ''rural'' in Mandarin Chinese *"wa" means ''speech'' in Southern Chinese dialects. The word Wa 瓦 is only a phonetic transcription. Wu & Shen (2010) report Waxianghua to be spoken in the following villages. *Yuanling County: Qingshuiping 清水坪, Maxipu 麻溪铺, Taichang 太常, Wusu 乌宿, Liangshuijing 凉水井 *Luxi County: Basheping 八什坪, Shangbao 上堡, Liangjiatan 梁家谭, Baisha 白沙镇 *Guzhang County: Linchang 林场 of Gaowangjie 高望界, Gaofeng 高峰 (in Taojin 淘金村, Beishuiping 北水坪, etc.), Yantouzhai 岩头寨, Shanzao 山枣, Yezhu 野竹, Hepeng 河蓬, Caotan 草潭 *Chenxi County: Tianwan 田湾, Banqiao 板桥, Chuanxiyi 船溪驿, Tanjiafang 谭家坊 *Xupu County: Rangjiaxi 让家溪, Daweixi 大渭溪, Muxi 木溪 *Yongshun County: Limin 里明村, Zhenxi 镇溪, Xiaoxi 小溪 of Wangcun Township 王村镇 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「Waxiang Chinese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
