Other comments: Wenzhounese , also known as Oujiang (simplified Chinese: 瓯江话;  pinyin: Ōujiānghuà), is the language spoken in Wenzhou, the southern prefecture of Zhejiang, it is the most divergent division of Wu Chinese, with little to no mutual intelligibility with other Wu dialects or any other variety of Chinese.
In Wenzhou Wu, the numerals 'one' and 'two' have two forms respectively, they are used in different positions. Also, the form of numbers 'two' and 'five' are same, but the tone values are different. Wenzhou has a very complicated sound system and is unintelligible with Shanghainese.
