Contact info:pulchritude Dialect(s)/language(s): Standard Mandarin, Changsha topolect of Chinese Relevant information: I speak Standard Mandarin with a Hunan accent - Chinese friends describe that accent as sounding rather 'musical', because of the way I let the morphemes lilt into each other rather than having them separated rigidly, the way it is typically done in Standard Mandarin.
I am on the low end of the intermediate level when it comes to the Changsha topolect (part of the Xiang topolect/dialect/language family of Chinese). I am better at listening than speaking. I'm not a native speaker, but it is the native language of the place I was born and raised, and my mother is a native speaker.
