Mandarin is younger than Cantonese
Why people refer Chinese as Mandarin instead of just refering it as "Mandarin"?
After all, the term Chinese for me, is just a large group that comprises of Mandarin, Hakka, Cantonese, Hokkien, Wu, and a number of tribes that live in China...

We throw shoes/slippers/mineral bottles, etc...to those that says Hokkien is low class. Okie boh? wa lang ai stand united (not Manchester United la)... eh, If he/she don't have anyone to teach him/her manners at home, how arrr? wa lang jia understanding geh. Wa lang eh kar EE manners. Sui boh sui? Ah ni kuan set liao la! jin sui! WOHOO! If people wanted to ask them to change language which they could understand, that is fine and understandable... But if someone thinks a dialect is a low class one, sorry to say, that is so feudal

QUOTE(pucman @ Jun 25 2009, 10:13 AM) China has a long history. All the chinese languages were the same language 5000 years ago but due to war, china broke up into many countries many times and that's how the languages split and develop differently. Mandarin is just the northern language influenced by the manchurian language. Unfortunately, some people who i met in Malaysia, told me that Mandarin is the "original"

QUOTE(spacelion @ Jun 26 2009, 12:36 PM) The reason Cantonese was used so much in the region was because up to 1997 Hong Kong was a British Colony. Being a financial hub made it so that if you wanted some leverage in the country you needed to know the language. Do some research and thinking before using mere facts to justify your post. Add to another point... - Most overseas Chinese are from Guangdong province, in overseas, the most familiar Chinese cuisine style is Cantonese
