Phonology of Shanghai Dialect of Wu Language using IPA

This video goes into detail using the IPA symbols to learn how to pronounce the sounds of the Shanghai dialect of the Wu language, spoken in the eastern seaboard provinces of Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai, China.
I also do some practice with some words from a Shanghai dictionary and finally show you how to write those words using Campbell Universal Pinyin, a universal pinyin I developed to represent the sounds of all Chinese dialects.

For more information about the individual pronunciation of the IPA characters, please refer to my IPA pronunciation videos.

Glossika, have you made a video on Wu tones? Also, the way you taught the pronunciation of Wu is kind of confusing. Could you show it using the universal pinyin?

[Glossika]

@menchu56 Yeah, but it's going to be hard for me to get around to this these days. I've been working a lot on Austronesian the last few months. The tone system is easy to pick up with a few simple rules, no need to memorize the huge confusing table of changes.

damn! what a smart man, mandarin is insane to learn!especially the tones, really, shanghainese is another task, so how about cantonese, the hardest of them all!
