The Shiqi dialect is a dialect of Yue Chinese.[1] 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.[2]
Shiqi has the fewest tones of any Yue dialect, perhaps a Hakka influence.[3]

① ˥ 55

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.
