beloved @mhaccunoval asked re: not beating the northerner allegations SO here’s the backstory:
as you probably know from time spent on my blog, i’m shanghai born and raised. it’s my home, my eternal love, etc. shanghai is considered to be “southern” because it lays to the south of the yangtze river—the northernmost southern city, but still solidly in the south.
south and north are divided by a lot of traits, but one of the most obvious is accent—southern accents tend to be “gentler”, and northern accents tend to be “harsher” (this is a wild simplification, but it’ll do for this post). the “standard” mandarin chinese is based around the northern beijing dialect primarily—so, “harsh”, but not as exaggerated as dongbei accents (the further most northern provinces).
now, you’re probably asking: how the fuck do you tie into this? and by all rights, you SHOULD be right. i should have a southern, shanghainese accent—i was born, bred, and taught by shanghai natives, in shanghai. but i don’t. i have a NOTICEABLE northern accent—usually assumed to be beijing; people will start talking to me and ask how i enjoyed beijing as a kid, and i have to tell them i’ve never been there in my life—i’m a shanghai native. however, growing up, my friends and i were taken care of by their paternal grandmother…………who’s a dongbei native. so, somehow, despite spending my time immersed in a southern environment, speaking largely to people with southern accents, i STILL managed to retain a northern accent—something which, comedy of all comedies, i myself can’t hear in my own speech. and i get the assumption almost every single time i speak to other chinese natives.
so, yeah. not beating the northerner allegations.
