The '''Dapeng dialect''' ({{lang-zh|t=大鵬話|s=大鹏话}}) is a Chinese dialect, a variant of [[Yue Chinese|Cantonese]] with a strong [[Hakka Chinese|Hakka]] influence that was originally only spoken on the [[Dapeng Peninsula]] of [[Shenzhen]], [[Guangdong]], [[China]]. The [[Overseas Chinese|Chinese diaspora]] has spread the dialect to places with large populations whose ancestral roots are originally from Dapeng, Shenzhen, Guangdong. Today, their descendants live in [[Hong Kong]]; the [[Randstad]] region of the [[Netherlands]]; [[Portsmouth]], United Kingdom; and [[New York City]], [[United States]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Chen |first=Litong |date=January 2023 |title=Assessing Language Vitality and Sustainability of Minor Chinese Dialects: A Case Study of Dapeng, a Hakka&ndash;Cantonese Mixed Dialect |journal=Sustainability |language=en |volume=15 |issue=9 |pages=7478 |doi=10.3390/su15097478 |issn=2071-1050 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

The dialect is a form of [[Junhua]], created as a [[lingua franca]] by soldiers at the [[Dapeng Fortress]], who spoke various forms of [[Yue Chinese|Cantonese]] and [[Hakka (language)|Hakka]].<ref name="chen"/> Despite strong influence from Hakka, some, including Lau Chun-Fat, have classified it as a Guan–Bao dialect.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Lau|first1=Chun-Fat|last2=Zhou|first2=Jiafan|date=February 2017|title=Looking at the Effects of Language Contact With Hakka as Reflected by the Characteristics of the Pingshan Zhanmi Dialect in Shenzhen|journal=Journal of Literature and Art Studies|volume=7|issue=2|pages=186–194|url=https://www.davidpublisher.com/Public/uploads/Contribute/586c50b0c9e78.pdf}}</ref>
