TheShiqi dialectis a dialect ofYue Chinese.^[1]It is spoken by roughly 160,000 people inZhongshan,Guangdong'sShiqiurban district. It differs slightly fromStandard Cantonese,mainly in its pronunciation and lexicon.^[2]

Shiqi has the fewesttonesof any Yue dialect, perhaps aHakkainfluence.^[3]

even		rising	going	entering
①˥55	②˥˩51	③˩˧13	⑤˨22	⑦a˥5	⑧˨2

This appears to be due to mergers: the fact that theentering tonehas split oddly suggests that it has split twice, as in Cantonese andTaishanese,but that tone ⑦b subsequently merged with ⑧.
