@kll1161 The Cantonese dialects as well as Hakka tends to be closer to Middle Chinese than other dialects. While Fujian and Wu dialects have a varied mixture of retention of both Old and Middle Chinese. Because southern dialects are closer to the ancient dialects, the sentence structure is closer to the more succinct Classical Chinese rather than today's Vernacular Chinese system which is based on Beijing Mandarin.
We should bring back Middle Chinese as the official language, not Mandarin.

The official language in Sui, Tang and Song Dynasty was Middle Chinese. Before that was Old Chinese. It was only after the Song Dynasty did the languages/dialects start diverging.
Between and after the Tang and Song Dynasties, and other dynasties as well, a lot of people from Northern China escaped down South to avoid foreign oppression. Due to the mountainous locations, the southern dialects did not diverge from the ancient dialects as much, thus it is generally closer. Continue next post.

Cantonese and Hakka speak shorter sentences than Mandarin.

Hakka and Cantonese are close to the ancient language of Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty and they use the same grammars and words like in the ancient Tang and Song literatures.

And Sun Yatsen would not have been the Father of Modern China.

No; but surely cantonese and hakka bear some heritages of that time
I believe that the Mandarin language is influenced by Mongolians and Manchus. The Cantonese people and Hakka people never mixed with the Altaic northern tribes and so their languages never got mixed with Cantonese and Hakka. That's why Cantonese is different from Mandarin.
Guangdong Hakka and Cantonese have some degrees of intelligibility.

This was the first time I heard Hakka in any Chinese film (granted, I don't watch many) and the look on my face when I first heard it was like :o, "omg, I can understand what she's saying!"
