  • China has over 5000 years history..

    Mandarin has 800+ years of history with little traces back to the originality of many ancient chinese alphabet and culture..

    Cantonese has over 2000+ history with traces back to the first emperor speaking the older Cantonese+Shanghainese dialect, poem reading and old cantonese culture..

    Get the fact Mandarin has become a tool, for economies and wide acceptance in writing songs, but it is not a language of choices for many Chinese in China..

  • Here I wish for every dialect in China, please be proud of your language, write song in those language, like how Korea, HK Cantonese, Japan and Taiwan Hokkien if I'm not wrong, they all sound so beautiful.. Do not be ashamed of your dialect, you can make a different, do not let your culture die.. Cheers everyone.. Language reflect your culture, do not let your culture die =)

  • 廣東人講廣東話 推普機收聲  唔識講廣東話就返回鄉下

  • @Chinastar85 and 100% ignorant.

  • It amazes me all these so gang-ho pro Cantonese and against Putonhua activists, why so they put their arguments in English! I couldn't think of another word other than ridiculous. You want to jack up Cantonese, use it yourself first. You don't even speak it, can't put it up in a typed format, what right do you have to ask people to follow? Fool and nothing but fool.

  • Fuck Mando!!! Oppose Mando !!!!

  • @Chinastar85

    Do you know why foreigners call Putonghwa "Mandarin"? Because even these foreigners know that Putonghwa is language of officials from Manchu. It is not language of people from Han.

  • i think cantonese is one of the hardest chinese dialect to get the tone right but it's worth the effort because the language is beautiful.

  • Super interesting stuff here....

  • @chihlitiger

    The academic was the easiest to understand. He didn't run his words together & even made frequent pauses.

  • The white guy speaks decent Cantonese. But when he said "moon cake", I thought he was talking about an illness.
