Beijing dialect, or Pekingese ( ), is the dialect of Mandarin spoken in the urban area of Beijing, China. It is the phonological basis of Standard Chinese, which is used by the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China (Taiwan), and Singapore.

Although the Beijing dialect and Standard Chinese are highly similar, various differences generally make clear to Chinese speakers whether an individual is a native of Beijing speaking the local Beijing variant or is an individual speaking Standard Chinese.

This is for Chinese learners as it has subtitles for you to look at. I was tryna find a video of beijing accent but there wasn any out there on youtube, hence this video you're watching now. for those who have no idea what beijing accent mandarin sounds like, now this should work for yall. Cross talk is one of the Chinese traditional folk arts mainly in northern China featuring two performers talking with each other on the stage in a very spoken, humorous,and teasing way that makes the audience laugh. PS. beijing accent is bit different from what was defined as the standard official language of Mandarin in that it contains way too many local dialectical expressions. but usually beijingers are very proud of their own accent. if you're in beijing but speaking with a non beijing accent, then unfortunately you'll feel like an outsider and prob get looked down upon by the locals.
