==Phonetics and phonology==
According to ''[[Jianzhou Ba Yin|The Eight Tones of Kien-chou]]'' ({{lang|zh|建州八音}}), a [[rime dictionary]] published in 1795, the Jian'ou dialect had 15 initials, 34 rimes and 7 tones in the 18th century, however there are only 6 tones in the modern dialect as the "light level" ({{lang|zh|陽平}}) tone has disappeared.
