This is around late 19th-early 20th century, but I was thinking about a scenario where China is partially colonized and the colonies (protectorates on a rather long leash mostly) are roughly organized on the lines of the old provinces.
With each province-colony emphasizing the local baihua, does that necessarily translate into a post-colonial identity based on dialect?

Wu - Zhejiang
Min- Fujian
Yue - Guangdong
Gan - Jiangxi
Xiang - Hunan roughly
