Shanghainese and other variations of Wu

Post by mavericker »

Hello. what is the difference between Shanghainese and other variations and dialects of Wu? Is it basically the same, or is it like regionalistic Wu?

It's a "regionistic" Wu.

Wu is an umbrella term for one of the seven major dialects of China, which is spoken in many cities/provinces to the east of China.
