The pronunciation of Tianjin dialect begins with initials. In Tianjin dialect, the postacute sounds zh, ch and sh of Putonghua are pronounced as pre-acute sounds Z, C and S respectively, and there are many "dental sounds". For example, "get on the bus" is pronounced as Sance in Tianjin dialect.
The r behind the tip of the tongue in Putonghua is generally replaced by the homonym I in Tianjin dialect. For example, "Jean", "Hot", "Rou" and "Run" are pronounced as Yang, Ye, You and Yun respectively in Tianjin dialect.
In Tianjin dialect, the pronunciation of one tone is lower than that of Putonghua, while two or three tones will be higher. For example, "chrysanthemum" should be pronounced as "chrysanthemum" and "pencil" should be pronounced as "lead nose". And the ending should have the feeling of rising tone, and it is perfect to sublimate the whole sentence.
