Haklau, or Hai Lok Hong, is a variety of Southern Min spoken in Shanwei, Guangdong province, China. While it is related to Teochew and Hokkien, its exact classification in relation to them is disputed.[6][7]
Etymology[edit]

The word Hai Lok Hong (
Classification[edit]
The Language Atlas of China classifies Hai Lok Hong as part of Teochew.[8] Other classifications pinpoint the phonological features of Hai Lok Hong that are not found in Teochew, but instead are typical for Chiangchew Hokkien. These features include:[9]
- the final /-i/ in characters like
魚 hî 'fish',語 gí 'language', and the final /-u/ in自 chū 'self',事 sū 'matter', as in Chiangchew Hokkien. Northern Teochew has /-ɯ/ in these words, while Southern Teochew (the Teoyeo dialect) has them with /-u/. - the final /-uĩ/ in words like
門 mûi 'door; gate',光 kuiⁿ 'light'. Teochew has them with /-ɯŋ/ or /-uŋ/. - the finals /-e/ (
坐 chě 'to sit',短 té 'short'), /-eʔ/ (節 cheh 'festival', 截 che̍h 'to cut') and /-ei/ (雞 kei 'chicken',街 kei 'street'), as in rural southern dialects of Hokkien (such as Zhangpu, Yunxiao, or Chawan), corresponding to Teochew /-o/, /-oiʔ/ and /-oi/. Conservative Northern Hokkien dialects have these words with /-ə/, /-əeʔ/, and /-əe/ respectively. - the preservation of the codas /-n/ and /-t/ (as in
民 mîn 'people; nation' and骨 kut 'bone'), which are merged with /-ŋ/ and /-k/ in most dialects of Teochew.
Still, Hai Lok Hong also has features typical for Teochew, but not Hokkien, such as:
- the preservation of 8 tones, pronounced similarly to Northern Teochew. Most dialects of Hokkien only have 7 citation tones.
- the final /-uaŋ/ in
況 khuàng 'situation',亡 buâng 'to perish', which has merged with /-oŋ/ in Hokkien. - less extensive denasalization: Hai Lok Hong and Teochew differentiate between
逆 nge̍k 'to go against' and玉 ge̍k 'jade' , or宜 ngî 'suitable' and疑 gî 'doubt', while in Hokkien, these pairs are merged (ge̍k and gî respectively).
Lexically, Hai Lok Hong also shares some traits with Teochew:
