一 地理范围

本书所说的”南部吴语”的分布区域，包括今浙江省南部金华市、衢州市、丽水地区、温州市四个地市，以及江西省东部上饶地区的部分县市、福建省西北部浦城县的部分地区。
The region related to this book’s “Southern Wu” includes modern-day Zhejiang’s Jinhua, Quzhou, Lishui and Wenzhou regions, as well as part of Shangrao region in eastern Jiangxi, and part of Pucheng County in northern Fujian.
具体情况如下：
The specific situation is as follows:
浙江省
Zhejiang Province

江西省

上饶地区：上饶市，上饶县，广丰县，玉山县（4县市）
In Shangrao: Shangrao City, Shangrao County, Guangfeng County, Yushan County (4 areas)
福建省
Fujian Province
南平市：浦城县（1县）
In Nanping: Pucheng County (1 area)
以上共计3省6地市40县市区。对此，还需要作几点说明：
The above total 40 areas in 6 (prefecture-level) cities in 3 provinces. There are a few things that need to be explained about this.
1．这40个县市区是就现行行政区划来说的，其中有些县（如磐安县、洞头县、苍南县、文成县）是20世纪新置的，区（如婺城区、柯城区、鹿城区等）的历史更短，为20世纪80年代以后才建。
These 40 areas are simply from the perspective of administrative districts. These include some counties (such as Bi’an County, Dongtou County, Cangnan County, and Wencheng County) which were just created in the 20th century, some districts (such as Wucheng District, Kecheng
District, and Lucheng District) with even shorter histories, not established until after 1980.
有两个旧县于1958年撤销后并入他县（汤溪县并入金华县，宣平县并入武义县），未计算在以上数字内。
There are two old counties that were merged with other counties in 1958 (Tangxi County into Jinhua County, and Xuanping County into Yiwu County), which are not included in the total above.
2．在上述地区的邻近县市，也有一些零星的南部吴语分布。
In regions near the previously discussed areas, there are a few scattered islands of Southern Wu.
如浙江省建德市与浦江县交界的姚村乡，原寿昌县（今属建德市）与兰溪市交界的檀村（《中国语言地图集》作”唐村”）、里叶二乡（今合并为檀村镇），原寿昌县与龙游县交界的迁塘村，玉环县靠近乐清市的西南角地区，江西省德兴市与玉山县交界的陇头村，福建省政和县铁山乡的部分村庄等。
For example: in Zhejiang Province, Yao Village, formerly Shouchang County (now part of Jiande Region), on the boundary between Jiande and Pujiang County; Lanxi’s Tan Village (what _China Language Atlas_ calls “Tang Village”) and Liye’er Village (now joined with Tan Village);
Qiantang Village on the border between Shouchang County and Longyou County; the southwest corner of Yuhuan county near Yueqing Region; in Jiangxi Province, Longtou Village on the border between Dexing Region and Yushan County; in Fujian Province, part of Zhenghe County’s Iron
Hill country, etc.
这些地区未计算在以上数字内。
These areas are not included in the previous sum.
3．在上述40个南部吴语分布的县市区，并非所有地区全都使用南部吴语，例如浙江省乐清市只有清江以南地区，苍南县只有东北部乡镇和南端的蒲门，福建省浦城县只有北部地区（包括县城南浦镇）使用南部吴语。
In the above-mentioned 40 areas of Southern Wu, it is not the case that in every area, the whole area uses Southern Wu. For example, in Yueqing region of Zhejiang Province, it is only in the area south of
the Qing River, and in Cangnan County, there are only the villages of the northeast part and Pumen in the very south.
同时，即使在”南部吴语区域内部”还存在着众多的畲话、闽语、赣语、客家话、浙江淳安话（属徽语严州片）、官话方言岛，例如浙江省丽水、景宁、遂昌、泰顺、文成、龙游、云和等县市有大量畲话分布，浙江省江山市的廿八都、开化县的华埠等地则使用官话方言。
At the same time, within “Southern Wu territory” there still exist numerous islands of She, Min, Gan, Hakka, Zhejiang Chun’an (belonging to Hui Yanzhou dialect group), and Mandarin. For example, Zhejiang’s Lishui, Jingning, Suichang, Taishun, Wencheng, Longyou, Yunhe, etc. have large numbers of She speakers, and Jiangshan Region’s 28 Du, Kaihua County’s Huabu, etc. use Mandarin dialects.
详细情况可参看本章第二节”本地区语言概貌”。
The details of the situation can be found in Section 2 of this chapter: “A general view of this region’s languages.”
南部吴语的使用人口，根据《中国语言地图集》吴语婺州片、处衢片、瓯江片三片人口合计，共有1470万。
For a population estimate of Southern Wu speakers, according to _China Language Atlas_, Wuzhou group, Chuqu group, and Oujiang group together have a population of 14,700,000.
《中国语言地图集》所依据的是1982年第三次全国人口普查的数据。
_China Language Atlas_ is based on data from the 3rd national population census of 1982.
至1999年底，金华、衢州、丽水、温州四地市人口总数为1655万，加上上饶地区和浦城使用南部吴语的人口，减去乐清、苍南等地不使用南部吴语的人口，目前使用南部吴语的人口总数将近1800万。
At the end of 1999, Jinhua, Quzhou, Lishui and Wenzhou had a total population of 16,550,000. If you add in the speakers in Shangrao and Pucheng, and subtract the population in Yueqing, Cangnan, etc. that don’t use Southern Wu, the current population of speakers of Southern
Wu totals almost 18,000,000.
为了叙述和阅读的方便，在一般情况下，本书对南部吴语地区内的行政单位的称述作如下技术处理：
For ease of description and reading, under these general circumstances, this book uses the following administrative units to describe Southern Wu areas:
1．把地级行政单位（地区、地级市）一律称作”地区”，如把金华市称作”金华地区”，把衢州市称作”衢州地区”，把温州市称作”温州地区”。
It takes ranked administrative areas (”regions” and “ranked cities”) and uniformly calls them “regions”. For example, Jinhua (prefecture-level) City is called “Jinhua Region”, Quzhou (prefecture-level) City is called “Quzhou Region”, and Wenzhou (prefecture-level) City is called “Wenzhou Region”.
2．由于”区”都是新近从地市政府所在地的那个县里分出来的，所以书中把婺城区、金华县合称作”金华”，把柯城区、衢县合称作”衢州”，把鹿城、龙湾，瓯海三区合称作”温州”，并把上饶市、上饶县合称作”上饶”。
Because the “districts” are all city government sites, recently seperated from their counties, Wu Urban District and Jinhua County are together called “Jinhua”, Ke Urban District and Qu County are together
called Quzhou, Lucheng, Longwan and Ouhai are together called Wenzhou, and in addition Shangrao City and Shangrao County are together called Shangrao.
3.称述县、市（县级市）名称时略去”县”、”畲族自治县”、”市”。
The names of counties and (county-level) cities omit “County”, “She Autonomous County” and “City”.
4．恢复使用汤溪、宣平两个旧县的名称，本书称”金华地区”时包括汤溪县在内，称”丽水地区”时包括宣平县在内，另外，涉及原严州府地区时，也恢复使用遂安、寿昌两个旧县名。
We reinstate the names of Tangxi and Xuanping former counties. When this book says “Jinhua Region”, that includes Tangxi County, and when it says “Lishui Region”, that includes Xuanping County. In addition, when the former Yanzhou prefecture is mentioned, that likewise refers to the old counties of Sui’an and Shouchang.
根据上述处理，南部吴语的分布区域如下：
According to the above-mentioned treatment, the regions of Southern Wu’s distribution is as follows:
浙江省

①2001年，撤金华县，原婺城区和金华县范围重新调整为婺城、金东二区，区政府均驻金华城里。为叙述方便，本书采用撤金华县之前的行政区划。
In 2001, Jinhua County was dissolved. The boundaries of the former Wucheng District and Jinhua County were redrawn as two districts, Wucheng and Jindong, with the governments of both districts located within urban Jinhua. For simplicity, this book adopts the administrative plan of before Jinhua County was dissolved.
