Gan Chinese - Name

Name

• Gan: the formal name. Scholars in mainland China use Gan or Gan dialect.
• Jiangxinese: the most common name. Since the borders of the language do not follow the borders of the province, this name is not geographically very exact.
• Xi: an ancient name. Now seldom used.
• Right-river language: an ancient name, used because most Gan speakers live in the south of Yangtze River, beyond the right-hand bank when traveling downstream.
