"Malan Dialect"
The children of the military are a special group, and their language characteristics are basically the same, and they can be collectively referred to as "military generals". The Malan dialect is between the "military and popular" and has its own characteristics.
Although Malan is located in Xinjiang in the Western Regions, for historical reasons, Malan dialect is different from Xinjiang Mandarin. He is often asked, "Pekingese? Northeasterners? …”。 The uncles and aunts said: "To be precise, Malan dialect is a "military pu" between these two northern language families, and it is a special accent exclusive to Malan children.
After I enlisted in the army and came to Urumqi, I found that there was a big difference between the Malan dialect (accent) and the accent of the children of the Xinjiang Military Region. The recruit company, the comrades-in-arms in the battalion company, most of them are from the Xinjiang Military Region, Nan. North. The children of the Eastern Xinjiang Military Division, as well as a small number of children of the Lanzhou Military Region, the Shaanxi Military Division, and other major military regions. In order to keep in line with my comrades-in-arms, it didn't take long for me to be able to "Buddha" speak the authentic Urumqi dialect and the "Junpu" of the Xinjiang Military Region. The dialects of the Northwest are roughly the same.
As we all know, the special nature of the troops, Ma Lan's children are scattered in all corners of the motherland and even abroad with the changes of their parents. But no matter where he goes, the Malan child still maintains the special accent of this special unit. Even if some children are "disturbed" by the local accent, the Malan dialect, which is like an imprint embedded in the body and mind, is immediately awakened once they meet the Malan child.
For Malan children, Malan is the original intention! It's kinship, it's hometown, it's roots! It is a bond that cannot be severed no matter how things change in the world, and it is the back of the distant parents, young people, and classmates......
Malan children who operate this "special accent", no matter where they are, among the crowd, especially in airports, high-speed rail stations, and port window service areas, will meet Malan people because of this.
I can't remember exactly how many times this is. Before the epidemic in Hainan, due to the typhoon, I went to the port window to refund the ticket, and in the queue for refund, I suddenly said: "You are a Malan child" ... Unexpectedly, my accent was once again screened by the former Uncle and Aunt of the Malan veterans.
Magical Malan dialect.
Ma Lan's child self-description: In the depths of the Gobi Desert, there is almost no rain and dew all year round, and the vitality is extremely tenacious Ma Lancao (boys) and Ma Lanhua (girls).
The Ballad of Malan
"There is a flower named Malan,
If you want to look for her, please go out of Yangguan,
With the thorns of the camel, rooted in the Gobi Desert,
Shaking the camel bell, blowing the eagle flute,
Woke up the gray sky of yellow sand,
There was a place called Malan,
If you want to look for her, please go out of Yangguan,
Dan's heart is hard to write in the desert, blood and sweat,
Unleash the silver star and dance the sword,
The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear. ”
"It's a military formation
Here is a flag
This is a glorious group that can be seen in history;
This is a kind of military spirit
This is a national weapon
This is a monument to the nuclear weapons of great feats.
This is Malan!
This is Malan!
In the middle of the last century, the Malan people shouldered the heavy responsibility of the country, and a loud bang erupted in the sky over Lop Nur. ”
One by one, Ma Lan Yang Yue
We have the same name: Malanhe II.
In 2024, on the occasion of the "August 1st" Army Day, "Malan Anecdotes 23" is the simple feelings of an ordinary Malan child, remembering his father's generation, and paying the highest respect to my respectable and lovely fathers for the sake of the motherland's national defense, "obscure, earth-shattering, and willing to be incognito"!
You are the loveliest people of the Republic!
Salute!!
