The '''Changchun dialect''' is a [[Mandarin Chinese]] variety spoken by people in and around the city of [[Changchun]] in [[Jilin Province]], [[China]].

==Characteristics==
The Changchun dialect is a member of the Changchun-Harbin sub-dialects. It is very close to [[Standard Chinese]], but it also has distinct characteristics phonetically and lexically. In history Changchun was near the centre of [[Manchu people|Manchurian]] culture, so similar to other [[Northeastern Mandarin]] dialects, it has many words borrowed from the [[Manchu Language|Manchu language]]. After the foundation of the [[People's Republic of China]], Changchun became heavily industrialized and the city grew considerably with migrant workers. As a result, the Changchun dialect resembles Standard Mandarin more than the dialects spoken in nearby rural counties.
