Colloquial speech in many northern dialects has more extensive <i>erhua</i> than the standardized language. Southwestern Mandarin dialects such as those of <a href="/wiki/Chongqing" title="Chongqing">Chongqing</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chengdu" title="Chengdu">Chengdu</a> also have <i>erhua</i>. By contrast, many Southern Chinese who speak their own languages may have difficulty pronouncing the sound or may simply prefer not to pronounce it, and usually avoid words with <i>erhua</i> when speaking Standard Chinese; for example, the three examples listed above may be replaced with the synonyms <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">哪里</span></span> <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">nǎlǐ</i></span>, <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">一点</span></span> <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">yìdiǎn</i></span>, <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">好玩</span></span> <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">hǎowán</i></span>.

class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Aside from its use as a diminutive, <i>erhua</i> in the Beijing dialect also serves to differentiate words; for example, <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">白面</span></span> <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">báimiàn</i></span> 'flour' and <span title="Chinese-language text"><span

href="#cite_note-chen_39-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Additionally, some words may sound unnatural without rhotacization, as is the

lang="zh-Latn">huā</i></span> or <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">huār</i></span> 'flower').<sup id="cite_ref-chen_39_11-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chen_39-11"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In these cases, the <i>erhua</i> serves to label the word as a noun (and sometimes a specific noun among a group of homophones). Since in modern Mandarin many single-syllable words (in which there are both nouns and adjectives) share the same pronunciation, adding such a label on nouns can reduce the complication. </p><p>As an example, the syllable <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">wǎn</i></span> may mean one of <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">碗</span></span> 'bowl', <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">婉</span></span> 'gentleness', <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">挽</span></span> 'to take with hand', <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">皖</span></span> (a short form of <a href="/wiki/Anhui" title="Anhui">Anhui</a>), <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">宛</span></span> (a place name and surname), and <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">晚</span></span> 'late', 'night'. However, of these words, only <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">碗儿</span></span> <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">wǎnr</i></span> 'bowl', 'the little bowl' can generally have <i>erhua</i>. Further, many people <i>erhua</i> <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">晚</span></span>, but only when it means 'night' and not 'late'. The rest never has <i>erhua</i> and <i>erhua</i> attempts will cause incomprehension. </p><p><i>Erhua</i> does not always occur at the end of a word in Beijing dialect. Although it must occur at the end of the syllable, it can be added to the middle of many words, and there is not a rule to explain when it should be added to the middle. For example, <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">板儿砖</span></span> <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">bǎnrzhuān</i></span> 'brick', especially the brick used as a weapon) should not be <span title="Chinese-language text"><span lang="zh">板砖儿</span></span> <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">bǎnzhuānr</i></span>. </p><p>The composition of the <i>erhua</i> system varies within Beijing, with the following variations reported.
