There are 8 language groups in China comprising a multitude of dialects themselves fragmented into local dialects: Wu, northern min, southern min; yue, Xiang, gan and hakka.

The level of intercomprehension between these dialects is almost zero, on the other hand, faced with all these dialects, Chinese writing is a precious factor of unity, because the characters do not transcribe sounds, they are symbols whose pronunciation will be different from one dialect to another.

Wu is a very large set of Chinese languages, usually divided into Northern Wu and Southern Wu.

Very often when they are not sub-dialects, Wu varieties can be considered as distinct languages. In fact, within the same city there is inter-understanding between the variants, on the other hand between two cities we can speak of distinct languages.

There are more than 200 varieties of Wu languages, and maybe half of them are mutually unintelligible.

Today there are several varieties of Shanghainese in its suburbs which are not necessarily inter-understandable; they are Baoshan Wu, Fengxian Wu, Nanhui Wu, Jiading Wu, Jinshan Wu, Pudong or Chuanshan Wu, Songjiang Wu, Qingpu Wu and Pudong Wu which is the first form of Shanghai.
