Thank you for the reply! I only speak English and French, so I just used Google Translate to label the axes. I thought it would look more international that way. Apparently that was a bad idea. Shanghainese is referring to the language, which Wikipedia says are often called "dialects". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Chinese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieties_of_Chinese

The Wikipedia article uses scare quotes because labeling them dialects is not linguistically correct. It's like calling French a dialect of Latin. It's only widespread because most people don't know enough about Chinese languages to understand the difference.
