i think ur friend is trying to be high class, but end up looking more low class by looking down on ppl. Hokkien is the best dialect, period.
Is Hokkien consider Low Class Language ?

QUOTE(cameltoe @ Jun 25 2009, 08:39 PM) Hokkien and the other dialects got no foul words? 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.Cantonese is the most used dialect in the international business scene. Even Li Ka Shing the richest Chinese in Asia who is Teo Chew speaks Cantonese. The other important Chinese dialect is Mandarin. Guangzhou Province in China combined with HK-Shenzen is China's main economic powerhouse region has Cantonese widely spoken there. Hokkien cannot be compared to these 2 main dialects.
