Abstract

The dialect is a kind of language with provincial variations in accent. Dialect geography deals with the geographical distribution of dialects. By analysing the "map of dialect distribution", the formation and development of dialects may be probed and the relationship between dialects and natural and social environments may be revealed Thus, the research on dialectology can be advanced and the progress of each branch of human geography may be furthered.
