The Teochew (Chaozhou dialect: Diê⁵suan³ uê⁷; Shantou dialect: Dio⁵ziu¹ uê⁷) of Southern Min Chinese is spoken in the Chaoshan (潮汕) region of eastern Guangdong and by the Teochew diaspora in various regions around the world.Teochew preserves many Old Chinese archaic pronunciations and vocabulary that have been lost in some of the other modern dialects of Chinese. As such many linguists consider Teochew one of the most conservative Chinese dialects.
