Wuhua () is a major dialect of Hakka Chinese. It is characterized by the pronunciation of many voiced Middle Chinese ''qu-sheng'' (4th Tone) syllables of Moiyen dialect in the ''shang-sheng'' (3rd Tone). The tone-level of the ''yang-ping'' is a rising /13/ instead of the low-level /11/ usually found in Meixa. In Wuhua-dialect-related areas of Northern Bao'an and Eastern Dongguan the same Meixian dialect tone level of the ''yang-ping'' is found, 2 sets of fricatives and affricates (z, c, s, zh, ch, sh, s / ts’ / s and “see note”) appear, similar to Mandarin. Also distinctive are the "y" rime found in the Yuebei (Northern Guangdong) Hakka group and Sichuan group, and retroflexed initials in (''Zhi'' series) “Knowledge”, (''Xiao'' group) “Dawn”, part of (''Xi'') “Brook”, poor usage of medials in Grade III and closed rimes. Wuhua dialect exhibits “latter-word” tone sandhi. Phonologically Wuhua exhibits a north–south separation while lexically it also exhibits an east- and middle-Guangdong separation, showing relatedness to inland and coastal Hakka dialects. “Lexically it shows east-west separation in Wuhua, which is quite different from the phonological point of view. And outwardly, lexicons in Wuhua show that Wuhua dialect is on the diglossia that separates east and middle Guangdong, and that distinguishes coast-side dialects from inland ones.” Wuhua dialect is transitional, no matter how we see it historically or geographically. Otherwise the Wuhua Hakka dialect is very similar to the prestige Moiyen (Meixian) Hakka dialect. Wuhua can be found in Wuhua County, Jiexi County, Northern Bao'An (formerly Xin'An (Sin-On), presently called Shenzhen), Eastern Dongguan, in Yuebei or Northern Guangdong around Shaoguan, in Sichuan and Tonggu, Jiangxi. All of these places have the tonal characteristics of Wuhua. Taiwan as well abides Wuhua Hakka people who came from south Wuhua County in the Qing dynasty. Taiwan Wuhua has changed much in initials, finals, and lexicons, possessing much similarity with neighboring Sixian(四縣) and Hailu(海陸)Dialects. Only tones conserve as in Guangdong. Languages tend to assimilate with authoritative ones, and we see this in Wuhua dialect of Taiwan.
