The most widely spoken Southern Min language is [[Hokkien]], which includes [[Taiwanese Hokkien|Taiwanese]].
Other varieties of Southern Min have significant differences from Hokkien, some having limited [[mutual intelligibility]] with it, others almost none. [[Teochew dialect|Teochew]], [[Longyan Min|Longyan]], and [[Zhenan Min|Zhenan]] are said to have general mutual intelligibility with Hokkien, sharing similar phonology and vocabulary to a large extent.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Lee|first=Tong Soon|title=Chinese Street Opera in Singapore|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Yz9CW59OsuIC&dq=chaozhou+percent+intelligible+amoy&pg=PA4|date=2009|publisher=[[University of Illinois]] Press|isbn=9780252032462}}</ref> On the other hand, variants such as [[Datian Min|Datian]], [[Zhongshan Min|Zhongshan]]

Southern Min dialects are spoken in southern [[Fujian]], specifically in the [[List of administrative divisions of Fujian|cities]] of [[Xiamen]], [[Quanzhou]], [[Zhangzhou]], and much of [[Longyan]], hence the name. In addition, varieties of Southern Min are spoken in several southeastern counties of [[Wenzhou]] in [[Zhejiang]], the [[Zhoushan archipelago]] off [[Ningbo]] in [[Zhejiang]], the town of [[Sanxiang]] at the southern periphery of [[Zhongshan]] in [[Guangdong]],<ref name="Bodman_1985">{{cite book
Southern Min dialects are spoken in [[Fujian]], three southeastern counties of [[Zhejiang]], the [[Zhoushan archipelago]] off [[Ningbo]] in [[Zhejiang]] and the [[Chaoshan]] (Teo-swa) region in [[Guangdong]].

===Southeast Asia===
There are many Southern Min speakers among [[overseas Chinese]] in [[Southeast Asia]]. Many ethnic [[Chinese people|Chinese]] immigrants to the region were [[Hoklo people|Hoklo]] from southern Fujian and brought the language to what is now present-day [[Malaysia]] and [[Singapore]] (formerly [[British Malaya]], the [[Straits Settlements]], and [[British Borneo]]), [[Indonesia]] (the former [[Dutch East Indies]]), the [[Philippines]] (former [[Spanish East Indies]] and later, [[Insular Government of the Philippine Islands|US Philippine Islands (P.I.)]]), [[Brunei]] (former part of [[British Borneo]]), [[Southern Thailand]], [[Myanmar]] ([[British rule in Burma|British Burma]]), [[Cambodia]] (former [[French protectorate of Cambodia|French Cambodia]] of [[French Indochina]]), [[Southern Vietnam|Southern]] [[Vietnam]] (former [[French Cochinchina]] of [[French Indochina]]) and [[Central Vietnam|Central]] [[Vietnam]] (former [[Annam (French protectorate)|French Annam]] of [[French Indochina]]). In general, Southern Min from southern Fujian is known as [[Hokkien]], Hokkienese, Fukien, or Fookien in [[Southeast Asia]] and is mostly mutually intelligible with Hokkien spoken elsewhere. Many [[Southeast Asia]]n ethnic Chinese also originated in the [[Chaoshan]] region of [[Guangdong]] and speak [[Teochew language]], the variant of Southern Min from that region, particularly [[Thailand]], [[Cambodia]], [[Southern Vietnam]], [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], [[Indonesia]], etc. In the [[Philippines]], [[Philippine Hokkien]] is reportedly the [[First language|native]] or [[heritage language]] of up to 98.7% of the [[Chinese Filipino]] community in the Philippines, among whom it
Southern Min speakers form the majority of Chinese in Singapore, with Hokkien being the largest group and the second largest being [[Teochew people|Teochew]]. Despite the similarities, the two groups are rarely viewed together as "Southern Min".
