Shanghainese/Sichuanese Dialect Support added to iOS 16 post

iOS16 lists supporting pinyin for Shanghainese and Sichuanese pharase. Aswell as now supporting a phonetic input method for Cantonese. Does anyone know how this function works, I have had no success in using Shanghai romanization or Sichuanese pinyin: Keyboard still produces only Standard Written Chinese (Mandarin) output. Further enhabling this under -Settings/General/Keyboard/Pinyin/Regional Dialect shows "Support for typing words with the selected dialect will download when connected to Wi-Fi" despite having been so. Any one know anything about this?

This mechanism is still based on Mandarin Pinyin (汉语拼音) and what you should expect to see is that Cantonese, Shanghainese or Sichuanese phrases typed via Mandarin Pinyin will produce more accurate suggestions based on the chosen Regional Dialect. For any enhancements that you’d like to see, please use http://feedbackassistant.apple.com. Thank you!
