Orthography

Wu Chinese is primarily written in Sinographs. Due to most speakers being located within the People's Republic of China, Simplified Chinese characters are often used. Phonetic matching is often used due to the lack of knowledge regarding the etymologies of many terms, though texts such as the Great Dictionary of Shanghainese (上海話大詞典) serve as de facto recommended standardized forms, as is seen in government media.
