Is language such as Wu, Yue, Jin, Min, Hakka, Xiang, Gan, Huizhou, and Pinghua written in Classical Chinese or Written vernacular?</p>

You might want to think about the question again. A language written in Classical Chinese is, in fact, Classical Chinese. If Yue Chinese is written down, the language is Yue Chinese. Maybe you meant to ask whether any of those languages have standardised orthographies.

Not counting ethnic minorities, there are only two standard forms of written Chinese today - traditional and simplified. For each dialect, there could be words or phrases that fitting the local custom in speaking language using the standard Chinese letters.
