Ⅰ 有关方言的英文资料
S. Robert Ramsey's THE LANGUAGES OF CHINA is a survey originally published by Princeton University Press in 1987. China is an immense country with a rich linguistic heritage, and it is a challenge to cover even the basics adequately in a mere 340 pages. Ramsey does an admirable job, and this student of historical linguistics was thrilled to see such attention paid to the diachrony of many languages mentioned within.
The "Chinese language", the set of mutually unintelligible dialects belonging to Han people and descended from a relatively recent common ancestor, is by far the most widely-spoken in China, and Ramsey dedicates the first half of the book to it. He begins with a presentation of the historical debate over Han linguistic unification, with the northern dialects winning out over southern dialects like those of Shanghai and Guangdong. Since Mandarin has, for better or worse, been taken as the standard, it is the phonology, morphology, and syntax of Mandarin that Ramsey describes as representative of the entire language. Ramsey clearly wrote for a non-specialist audience, as he tries to debunk older Western myths that Chinese is somehow a "primitive" language e to its lack of inflection. The grammar of Mandarin here is splendidly full for just a few pages, though the debate over the use of the particle "le" isn't mentioned.
Ramsey's coverage of Chinese isn't, however, purely synchronic, for he also devotes space to the earlier stages of the language. He begins with an explanation of the Qieyun rhyming dictionary, the document compiled by Lu Fayan that, in spite of its faults, is our only useful source for the pronunciation of Middle Chinese. Ramsey then gives a colourful presentation of the life and work of Berhard Karlgren, the Swedish scholar who, by applying the comparative method to modern Chinese dialects, worked towards a phonetic reality for the mere algebraic relationships of the Qieyun dictionary. But this is not mere blind alation, Ramsey does acknowledge Karlgren's faults and lists the younger scholars who followed him and improved on his theories. Ramsey also briefly mentions Old Chinese, the reconstruction of which is quite uncertain, and talks about some of the important changes from Middle Chinese to modern Mandarin.
The second half of the book deals with the many non-Han languages of China. First is the "Altaic family" spoken in the north of China, the Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungusic languages that may or may not be a valid genetic grouping, but which have significant typological similarities. Here again Ramsey gives abundant space to diachronic issues, showing how various modern languages each differ from their common ancestor. Writing systems, too, are covered. The languages of the south come next, including the Tai, Tibeto-Burman, Miao-Yao, and Mon-Khmer families, as well as unclassified or isolated languages. The story of how these languages have fared under Han domination is a major theme of the book.
If you have little bit of Mandarin under your belt (and you don't need a lot) and are interested in the linguistic diversity of this part of the world, THE LANGUAGES OF CHINESE is worth seeking out. This is especially true for historical linguistics curious about China. I can only wonder why it hasn't been reissued.
Ⅱ 英语有哪些方言
英语没有很大的方言差别，不像中国有广东话、闽南话等等如果不是懂得的人就听不懂的语言。
但英语有很大的口音差别，其中最大的差别就是英式英语和美式英语的差别，通常听惯了美式英语的人再听英式英语会感觉不习惯，甚至可能听起来有困难。美国人听英国人讲英语会感觉很好玩：）
其实每个国家的英语或多或少都有点口音区别，比如澳大利亚、加拿大人讲的英语就跟美国人讲得稍有区别。而意大利、法国等欧洲国家讲的英语口音就更是与美式英语差很大。当然，美国不同地方的人本来口音就有差别，类似于中国各地的方言，但相对来说由于将的都是英语，所以区别不是太大，更接近于中国北方的人讲普通话一样，各有各的口音。北方人很多没文化的老一辈也会讲普通话，但是南方有些地方的人要是没文化的就讲不了普通话，而只能将“本地话”。
建议听英语在听了较多的标准英语后，有必要通过电影等方式听听各种语音差别的英语，这样听力就会更上一层楼。毕竟每个人说英语都或多或少有些口音的，你不能指望每个人的英语都很标准。
Ⅲ 用英语简短介绍一下中国方言
随便写一点啊，不一定能到三分钟。完全手打的……
China has a large population, so there are many different dialects all over the country. Some of them are so distinct that some linguistists treat them as different languages. It is common that people from different provinces cannot communicate by using their own dialects. Usually in these cases people will try to use mandarin.
Mandarin is the most vastly spreaded dialect in China, and here it has a much broader meaning than the "Beijing dialect" or Putonghua. It is spoken in all the areas to the north of Changjiang river, and even somewhere to the south, like the southwestern provinces of China as Sichuan.
Another famous dialect is Cantonese, which is quite popular abroad. In China is mainly spoken in Hong Kong and Guangdong province. It has more ancient features and more difficult to learn.
Taiwanese is spoken in South Fujian and Taiwan, and also in some places of southeast Asia. It is quite different from Mandarin and Cantonese.
Hakka is widely distributed all over the world. It is also spoken by the people in south China, like Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces.
There are also many other dialects, but not so famous as these four above. The Wu dialect is in Shanghai and nearby areas, Xiang dialect is in Hunan. The Mandarin could also be divided into about 7 sub-dialects, so we can see that the classification of languages and dialects in China is very complicated.

英格兰东北部纽卡斯尔地区的口音语调起伏很富音乐感，这种口音叫做Geordie。
苏格兰人的英语中多个元音有变异，发"r"音时不太卷舌，这种口音叫做Jock。
Ⅷ 中国方言（用英语）
Cantonese,广东话
Hakka,客家
Ⅸ 英语的方言
antenna，aerial（前者为"美式英语"，后者为"英式英语"，下同）--泛指无线电上使用的"天线"，但antenna远比aerial（或aerial wire）流行。
apartment，flat--指大厦中的住宅单位，前者也被译为"（住宅）公寓"。不过，东南亚地区目前流行用"座"来表达，故使用flat的机会较多。
ash一can，st一bin--指垃圾箱。在美式英语中，含有同等词义的还有garbage can和junk一heap，但英式英语则只有st一bin（或st-bin）.香港目前多用stbin。但废纸篓的两种称呼分别是waste一basket和waste一paper basket，流行度则似乎相等。
automobile. motor一car--汽车。美式英语很多时更简为auto，如"车祸"即称为auto accident。两个字的使用度似乎相差不大。
baggage， luggage一一行李。这两个字都是总称，故此不能说a ba-ggage（或luggage），而应说a piece of baggage（或luggage）， twopieces of baggage等。流行度好像没有多大差别，但要注意：当美国人用luggage的时候，一般是指大的皮箱或皮包。美国人说baggage car（行李车）英国人则说luggage van。
bank一bill，bank一note…纸币，钞票。Bank-bill是美国人的钞票，但是英国人却用来指"银行与银行之间的汇票"，以bank一note较为流行。campus， school grounds---校园，学校场地。由于美国学上运动近年甚为蓬勃，故此campus一字常见应用，school一grounds则罕有所闻。campus所指的范围包括了整个学校（多指大学）的场地，而非单指花园、操场等开阔的地方。例如campus activities是指大学的"校内活动"，campus building是大学内的建筑群等等。
canned goods， tinned goods 罐头食物。can和tin是美式英语和英式英语中的同义词，均指保藏预制食物的罐头，tin有时更被音译为："听"。这两个字同时亦可以作动词使用，解作"把食物装罐"。在使用上,canned goods比tinned goods流行。
dePartment store， stores---百货公司。美国人口中的store，相当于英国人的 shop。百货公司一般规模较普通商店大，分为若干部门(dePar-tment)，故称为 departmentstore是很贴切的。这个用词在英国也逐渐流行，代替了英国沿用的 stores。
drawers， Pants——内裤。这两个字的用法应特别留意。Pants在英国指内裤，但在美国却是长裤。(在英国，长裤为 trousers。)所以，当一位外国人说 Pants的时候，你要弄清楚他究竟是英国人还是美国人，不要把内裤变成了长裤。
editorial， Leading article———社论。英式英语中除了leading article外， Leader一字也可用来指社论。但现时editorial用得最多，甚至香港的《南华早报》(South China Morning Post)也用 editorial来指其社论。
gasoline， petrol——汽油。 gasoline有时也写作 gasoline，口语上更可简写为 gas。汽油站是gas Station(＝英 Petrol station)，也可说gasoline station。但是， gasoline bomb(汽油弹)却不能说是 gas bomb。
long—distance call， trunk call一一—长途电话。美式英语的 Iong—distance call词义一看便明，远胜于英式英语的trunk call，自然被多数采用。
overcoat， great coat——大衣，大氅。两字的通用度差不多，但overcoat似乎稍胜一筹。
radio， wireless——收音机。原本两字后都有set，即radio set及 wireless set，但为了节省，一般都略去。两个字中，当然是美式英语radio流行得多。
second floor， first floor——二楼。这种对楼宇的层数的称呼方法在不少地区造成了很大的不便。以往，许多楼宇按英式英语的叫法，故此问题尚不大。但近年来，不少的楼宇使用了美式英语的叫法，因此就产生了混乱。现在一般对人家说第若干层楼时，一定要附带说一声“电梯多少字”，以免误会。
soft—drinks， minerals——软饮品：汽水等不含酒精的饮料。美式英语的 soft—drinks原来泛指不含酒精的饮料，包括汽水和果汁等，现时多用来指汽水，代替了原先的 air—ate water。英式英语的 minerals由于没有 soft—drains那么通行，故此用来指汽水的机会少了，但比较多用来指矿泉水，等于 mineral water。
综观上述列举的小量例子，可以看出，美式英语(虽然仅列举了单词)在许多地区已逐渐占了上风。
