New Xiang is in orange. It is in contact with Southwestern Mandarin to the northwest (green), Gan to the east (purple), and Old Xiang to the south (yellow).

New Xiang, also known as Chang-Yi (长益片 / 長益片) is the dominant form of Xiang Chinese, or Hunnanese. It is spoken in the areas of Hunan where Hunanese contancts neighboring Chinese languages, Mandarin and Gan. Under their influence, it has lost some of the conservative phonological characteristics which makes Old Xiang notable.
