History

Baisha town was the ancestral home of many of the first Chinese Canadians.[citation needed] Their descendants live all over Canada, and used to predominate before the 1980s in the Chinatowns of Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Banff and Edmonton, and US West Coast cities such as San Francisco and Seattle.[citation needed]

Economy

Baisha Town is one of the few regions in northern Guangdong province where illegal rare earth mines were operating.[3] Baisha Town is rich in rare earth minerals such as dysprosium.[3]

Dialect

The Baisha variant of Taishanese is fading amongst the descendants of Canadian-Chinese, as Cantonese and Mandarin become more dominant. Based on observations of Chinese-Canadian elders living in Edmonton between 1980 and 2005, it would seem that the Taishan language spoken in Baisha in the mid-20th century differed somewhat from that spoken in Taicheng (Hoiseng in the Hoisan language, 台城), the county seat of Taishan (Hoisan, 台山县). Indeed, the pronunciation was more or less the same as that of people living across the river in the next county, Kaiping (Hoiping in the Toisanese language, 开平). One notable difference can be seen in the shift of certain vowel sounds, as follows:

moon nget ngut jyːt˨ jyut6 ɥɛ˥˩ yùe
snow hlet hlut syːt˧ syut3 ɕɥɛ˨˩˦ xǔe

Besides the differences in some vowel sounds, the consonant [b] of Mandarin is usually realized as [v], and [p] as [h].
