摘要

The Nanling area in China boasts a rich resource of languages, including not only Chinese dialects such as the group of Southwest Mandarin, Hakka, Xiang, Yue and Min, but also minority languages such as the Yao group of Miao-Yao and the Tai group of Kam-Tai. In addition, there is Tuhua whose language affiliation has yet to be established. The development of the Nanling Tuhua has been contingent on the complex land topography in this area, and on the area being the critical traffic route for people migrating from north to south in China. Through comparison of the Tuhua and the neighboring Chinese dialects or minority languages, it is found that the Nanling Tuhua is best described as a creole or mixed language with its associated features.

南岭地区是中国语言资源的富矿区之一，该地区不仅有西南官话、客家话、湘语、粤语、闽语等汉语方言和瑶语、壮语等少数民族语言，更有众多语言系属未明的土话。南岭地区土话的形成跟复杂的地形有关，也跟该地区是历代南北人口迁徙的必经之路有关。通过将南岭土话跟周边的汉语方言和少数民族语言之间的比较，发现南岭土话整体上具有明显的混合语特征。
