<upd_detl>All the kokugos describe this as an old term for standard Chinese but Wikipedia has a modern definition as well. I think we should have 2 senses.
I don't think it ever refers to modern standard Chinese (which is typically translated as 普通話 or 標準中国語).</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I think this is more accurate (I defer to my old friend Victor Mair on the use of "topolect".)
My earlier version was straight from GG5.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>As much as I like the word, we should probably go with something that most people will understand.
This is maybe a better description.</upd_detl>
