"桂林話"是桂林的地方話，源於以明朝官話為代表的南方官話方言，由明朝江淮移民帶來，在長期的傳習過程中演變成了桂林話。桂林話屬西南官話—桂柳片—桂北小片。在語音、語調、聲腔以及說話習慣等方面，同北方方言有某些差異，但語根相同，語義相近，能為全國許多省份的人聽懂。在封建科舉時代，桂林話被定為“南方官話”。
桂林話中的含義，潛臺詞，言外之意，大概只有桂林人自己才能夠準確地品評出來。
這就是“味道”，方言的味道。

Modern Southwestern Mandarin（西南官話） was formed by the waves of immigrants brought to the regions during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because of this comparatively recent move, these dialects show more similarity to modern Standard Mandarin than to other varieties of Chinese like Cantonese or Hokkien. For example, like most southern Chinese dialects, Southwestern Mandarin does not possess the retroflex consonants (zh, ch, sh, r) of Standard Mandarin, but nor does it retain the checked tone, as most southern dialects do. The Chengdu-Chongqing and Hubei dialects are believed to reflect aspects of the Mandarin lingua franca spoken during the Ming. However, some scholars believe its origins may be more similar to Lower Yangtze Mandarin. Though part of the Mandarin group, Southwestern Mandarin has many striking and pronounced differences with Standard Mandarin such that, until 1955, it was generally categorized alongside Cantonese and Wu Chinese as a branch of Chinese varieties.
Southwestern Mandarin is commonly spoken in Kokang district in northern Myanmar, where the population consists largely of the Kokang. Southwestern Mandarin is also one of two official languages of the Wa State, an unrecognized autonomous state within Myanmar, alongside the Wa language. Because Wa has no written form, Chinese is the official working language of the Wa State government. Some of its speakers, known as the Chin Haw, live in Thailand. It is also spoken in parts of Northern Vietnam. Ethnic minorities in Vietnam's Lào Cai province used to speak Southwestern Mandarin to each other when their languages were not mutually intelligible. Southwestern Mandarin is also used between different ethnic minorities in Yunnan and Guangxi.
