I decided to do it in my home dialect(Southwestern Mandarin, Chengdu dialect) because the poem is about a great person who once lived in the area, and the poet also lived there. But for authenticity, I searched up some stuff on the net and tried to recreate older versions of Chengdu dialect, which has evolved rapidly over the past century, so this is quite a bit different from the dialect actually spoken in Chengdu nowadays...... Apologize beforehand to any PLs out there
The title is shu xiang(third tone on shu and fourth tone on xiang) or 蜀相, the characters are the same in simplified and traditional. The author is 杜甫, du fu (fourth tone on du and third tone on fu). I think there isn't an official romanization system for my dialect as of now, so I will stick with pinyin.

Do I need to provide any information other than that?
Thank you for your work!

It looks like the text you picked is about 12 printed pages. I'm not good at estimating recording length for Chinese text, but I would guess that it will be under 72 minutes, which means that we could include it in this collection instead. If we include it in this collection, it won't be broken into multiple sections, but you won't have to worry about filling out the Magic Window yourself, and a Meta-Coordinator won't have to worry about cataloging a separate project. Just so you're aware of the pros and cons.
The text is Classical Chinese, so "Chinese" still seem appropriate. Of all the different forms of Chinese, we have a separate entry on the LV language list only for Cantonese. Not sure if there's a system behind this...
