abstract = {In this paper, we analyze the phonology of the Zhouning dialect. Firstly, we found that there are several strata of lax finals in this dialect as in the Fuzhou dialect. Then, based on our new findings, we discuss the relation between the lax finals and their tones. Our findings suggest that the lax finals and their tones are not related, but rather solely constitute a natural tonal variation.},
