The Xianyou dialect (Pu–Xian Min: Sing-iú-uā / 仙遊話; [ɬiŋ˨ iu˨˦ ua˨˩]) is a dialect of Pu–Xian Min Chinese spoken in Xianyou, Putian in the southeast coast of Fujian province, China.

The Xianyou dialect has 15 initials, 45 rimes and 7 tones.

The Xianyou dialect has extremely extensive tone sandhi rules: in an utterance, only the last syllable pronounced is not affected by the rules.
