Jizhao (Chinese: 吉兆话) is an unclassified Kra-Dai language spoken in Jizhao Village (吉兆村), Tanba Town (覃巴镇), Wuchuan, Guangdong. It may be most closely related to Be. In Wuchuan, Jizhao is locally referred to as Haihua (海话), which is the term used elsewhere in Leizhou, Xuwen, and Maoming to refer to the local Southern Min dialect of Leizhou.
