Hokkien-Penghu dialects

The Hokkien-Penghu dialects are variants of the Southern Min Chinese language spoken primarily in Taiwan's Penghu Islands and southern Fujian province in China. These dialects feature unique pronunciation, vocabulary, and tone patterns, shaped by regional history and interactions. While mutually intelligible with other Hokkien variants, Penghu dialects have distinct local expressions and phonetic nuances, reflecting their cultural identity. They serve as a vital part of community and heritage in Penghu, preserving linguistic diversity within the broader context of Chinese dialects.
