Shao–Jiang or Shaojiang Min (simplified Chinese: 邵将; traditional Chinese: 邵將; pinyin: Shàojiāng) is a Min Chinese language centered on Western Nanping in Northwest Fujian, specifically in the Nanping counties of Guangze, Shaowu, and Western Shunchang and the Northern Sanming county of Jiangle.
Shao–Jiang developed from Northern Min (Min Bei), and was deeply influenced by Gan Chinese and Hakka Chinese.
It is frequently classified as a variety of Northern Min, but sometimes it is excluded from Min and classified as Gan Chinese instead.
But it is mutually intelligible with neither other Northern Min nor other Gan.
Actually it is a collection of dialects which have limited mutual intelligibility with each other instead of a coherent language.
