"The original Shanghai Vernacular Society had a crucial impact on Old Shanghainese. The society was a collective of intellectuals and missionaries that collaborated on transcribing and producing resources for the Shanghainese Vernacular. At the start of the 20th Century, they continued with the work done on the Shanghai dialect of the 1850s; by following the romanization of Shanghainese upon those lines." Shanghai Vernacular Society.
