Usage notes Wu and Shanghainese can both refer to the Wu dialect and are interchangeable. However, Wu is more frequently used between Chinese people or by linguists, while the term Shanghainese is often used when introduced to foreigners. Some government institutions may use both terms simultaneously to avoid confusion. For example, Statistics Canada uses "Wu (Shanghainese)" in its census report.
