Fuzhou dialect - Resources? Formal Name?

[Tom]

Hi,

What is the formal name for the language they speak in Fuzhou, Capital of Fujian? I would like to learn this language. I am an American and I speak Mandarin. Does anyone know of any resources in English or Mandarin for learning Fozhou dialect, preferably audio material (tapes, cd's, not a book- although if it was a good dictionary in pinyin that might be ok)? What is the name for it? Fuzhou dialect? Please respond to my email: tch3@aol.com.

Ask on the Minnan dialect forum, since it belongs to the Minnan dialect group.
