It is also spoken by Teochew overseas diaspora communities living in countries outside China. Teochew is a southwest dialect of the the Minnan (Southern Min) Macrolanguage family of which there is a spectrum of intelligibility amongst them.

This conversion tool uses the Swatou dialect (汕頭話, Sùaⁿ-thâu-ūe). Please note that in Mandarin Pinyin, “Teochew” would be transliterated as “Chaozhou” which is the name of the city in the Chaoshan-region that forms the first-half of the portmanteau “Chaoshan” — with “Shantou” forming the second-half.

If you input Chinese Han character text, you get Latin conversion in the Teochew romanized text. The Romanization used in this tool is Tiê-chiu Pe̍h-ūe-jī (潮州白話字)

Important Notes (please read only if you are visiting Shanghai):
*Unlike Mandarin and other Sinitic languages which have a "standardized" and/or widely used Romanized orthography, there is currently no standardised Shanghainese Romanized orthography. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHANGHAINESE IS INCAPABLE OF BEING WRITTEN IN THE LATIN ALPHABET. It just means each and every author has (historically speaking) compiled their own separate romanization of Shanghainese.
*Unlike Europe, the Shanghainese language is NOT currently taught as a subject in primary nor secondary schools in Shanghai. Therefore do not automatically expect the local residents to be able to read and write in their own language.
*Of the Shanghai population of 24 million, only 14 million are the local Shanghainese inhabitants; the other 10 million residents had migrated / moved to Shanghai from other Provinces/cities of China for work purposes and therefore have zero knowledge of Shanghainese.
*Therefore this tool is for foreigners to converse with the 14 million local indigenous Shanghainese residents who are capable of speaking and understanding the Shanghainese language. (For the other 10 million non-local Chinese residents living in Shanghai, please converse with them in Mandarin instead).
