Hong Kong Hakka (Part 1 of 5)

[hakkasongs10]

the low class language is the one that said another language is low class and call another language by what ever nick name "A lot of cantonese in hongkong in particular ... not all". So PROUD TO BE WHAT YOU ARE. STUPID HAKKA IN HONGKONG , NOT SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE. 

[hakkasongs10]

most taiwan did to protect their root as hakka, Hongkong is influence by cantonese and put hakka as low class language, its made alot of hakka from china do not want to speak their hakka when come to hongkong. Its totally stupid i'm proudly what i'm hakka from vietnam and in the whole town about 200,000 people only my family speak hakka and we still keep its for 3 generations . There are not language better than another whether you maintained and develop it to be better. the low class language

[hakkasongs10]

Meizhou is the world biggest hakka and Dabu is the second , both got no problem to understand one to another , all hakkanese whether from meizhou or Dabu back couple hundred years ago including Taiwan hakka from one of this two.

[jacknliong]

seem like no hakkanese from indonesia? esp.from west kalimantan in singkawang (san keu jong) ngai he hakka ngin (possibly from dabu) coz my dialect is different from this vids.i'm the fourth generations hakkanese from indonesia (west kalimantan)

west kalimantan is the most populated hakkanese peoples in indonesia beside neighboring country such as malaysia,taiwan,and singapore.

i always wonder if there is any other Hakka out there who speaks the same Hakka that I speak. I am a 4th generation Burma born Fujian Hakka who lives in the US.

香港的客家人大都是 “ 梅县客 ” （MEI YEN），。客家话在中国被称为 “ 土华语 ” ，在香港的广东话里头也参杂很多客家话词会。

malaysia hakka and hong kong hakka mostly same one...together keep ouur hakka language!!!!! dont let it disappear!!!!!

[howardleung]

i dont speak hakka, but speaks cantonese and mandarin, but the uncles hakka sounds very cantonese like, is that just me?

[RaymondPhuaaa]

@howardleung Hakka Language is like Cantonese I know that because my mom and my Grandparents talk Hakka language but I don't speak it but let me give an Example: Cantonese: Mo lei keu (Nevermind him) , Hakka: Mau lee gie

[sharifahliyana]

hi, i am a malay (my mum is chinese) from malaysia. the hakka my mum's family speaks is the one like the HK people. My mum is chak kai hak. I'm learning the language as I think not many people can speak their mother tongue anymore. It's dominated by mandarin now. sad situation..

[djonutube]

i only undertand less that half of the commentator's hakka

[shiawase88]

Ok! I know I'm late but I just found out that the Hakka I spoke is almost the same as the hong kong ones... hence i understand what exactly the uncle is talking about. But I have trouble understanding the Taiwanese ones. Btw I'm a Hakka descendant from Sabah, M'sia. My grandma comes from Tangshan, and my grandpa from Huiyang. I'm proud to be a Hakka and hope that this culture continues.

[mintoh10]

@shiawase88 Which part of Sabah are you from? I grew up in KK :)

[zacchew]

@shiawase88

yeah, hong kong one are the same with m'sia and singapore. taiwanese hakka a bit different but try listen slowly and carefully should be no problem to pick up.

honestly, i still can recall my grandpa speaking hakka... his version was actually more towards the taiwanese type. perhaps, taiwanese one are more pure.

well anyhow, no matter from where.... all are 1 big family :)

[shiawase88]

Ok! I know I'm slow but I just realized the Hakka I speak is exactly the same as the hong kong's Hakka. Hence, I understand the hong kong's one, but have trouble catching the Taiwanese Hakka. Btw, I'm a Hakka from

Sabah, M'sia. I'm proud to be one and hope that Hakka culture will keep going on!! :)

[boostmiester]

east timor hakka sounds more like hong kong hakka. i can't understand shit of malaysian, taiwanese etc hakka!!!

[Nathanlth]

hakka is not Taiwan's language.. I AM HAKKAIEN. CONTON.

[nur168]

I think this is a TV program produced by Taiwanese Hakka TV channel. That's why the Hakka sounds more mandarin like. I wish i know more Hakka,I could understand but not fluent in speaking.

[wonderkid11189]

it doesn't sound like mandarin, is this hakka?

[kentpaul65102]

lol it would help if you read the title =P

[JoeSTARGAZER]

Hi I am from Singkawang, West Borneo, Indonesia... why the hakka in this movie is so different? I can barely understand it... The hakka we speak is different...anyway good that the culture is preserved

[xcourtkneeh]

i think it is because different areas have like their own sounding in hakka, but is still hakka?

[fkxt5726]

Taiwan hakka is meixian hakka, slightly different from guandong hakka.

[wtfyee]

ahah i can understand but realy cant LOLOZ fkn haka 4 life

[winst27]

she's speaking with a very heavily accent hakka, but is still none the less

[lealing]

The narrator's hakka sounds different to the hakka I speak. Her's sounds slightly mandarin like.

[fkxt5726]

taiwan is doing so much to protect hakka, unlike hongkong

[lequinhotso]

I'd like to learn hakka, but have no idea how and where. I once went to Miaoli in Taiwan, it is very nice. I'd like someone to tell me about hakka from hong kong and taiwan, as I am very interested on this language and never found too much information about it, so i don't know if that specific site is talking about hakka from Tawain, hakka from Hong Kong or another place.

[l3af3v3r]

When a language reaches a state that needs "protection", you can imagine how much damage has been done. Personally, just because this video is from Taiwan, I don't think that the Hakka language has a respectable status there. I don't know about Hong Kong, but it is very difficult to see that the Hakka language will ever reach a status comparable to that of Mandarin in Taiwan... : (((

[l3af3v3r]

Hmm...forget about lingua franca status, by comparable status I mean that of among Hakka people themselves. Can they possibly put Hakka before Mandarin?? Can a Hakka identity overrun country borders and political ideologies?? In Hong Kong, Cantonese is both local AND dominant, so Hakka speakers hv less of a problem integrating into the mainstream language;

[l3af3v3r]

Mandarin is dominant but not local in Taiwan, Minnan is local but not dominant enough, so Hakka people as minority cannot integrate comfortably into either language. Do Taiwanese Hakka LOVE Hakka enough so that they still proudly acknowledge their Hakka ancestry even when they no longer speak Hakka? Or are they only "digging up" the Hakka part of themselves so they do not lose in the increasing localization shouts of Taiwan??

[l3af3v3r]

If a HongKonger wants to preserve Hakka I can believe his genuine love of Hakka... but if a Taiwanese claims the same I have to think twice... ... sry. Given the environment now in Taiwan,, I believe the Hakka people there can do SOOO much for their mother tongue! Maybe much of their effort goes unseen by me. Anyhow, I give them all my best wishes and support~! Hakka is very VIABLE as a MODERN and progressive language both in Taiwan and in the world !!! =)

[SonyChin28]

[kenlieuw1]
