The Shiqi dialect or Shekki dialect[1][2][3] is a dialect of Yue Chinese.[4] It is spoken by roughly 160,000 people in Zhongshan, Guangdong's Shiqi urban district. It differs slightly from Standard Cantonese, mainly in its pronunciation and lexicon.[5]

Shiqi has the fewest tones of any Yue dialect, perhaps a Hakka influence.[6]

even rising going entering
① ˥ 55 ② ˥˩ 51 ③ ˩˧ 13 ⑤ ˨ 22 ⑦a ˥ 5 ⑧ ˨ 2

This appears to be due to mergers: the fact that the entering tone has split oddly suggests that it has split twice, as in Cantonese and Taishanese, but that tone ⑦b subsequently merged with ⑧.
