in sekinchan, people speaks hokkien because everyone speaks hokkien there. in ipoh, people speaks cantonese because everyone speaks cantonese there. come let me punch your head.

Besides Hakka, Cantonese is also one of the best sounding Chinese dialects, unlike Hokkien.

Swear words sound cooler in Cantonese. Also, Cantonese has a wider repertoire of swear words. You can even mix and match.

"Niamah ge chau hai. Mmmm chat gee ni *** ham kar chan zou mat lan chat kau yeh ga!"

Awesome.

ppl from Ipoh dun speak mandarin.. cantonese..
batu gajar or kampar or perak area not consider ipoh...
many ppl told me they stay in ipoh.. and when i ask where they stay.. they told me kampar..

In China , they have alot of suku kaum with their own language like Hokkien / Cantonese and many more ..so to unite everybody and make one national language ..they use Mandarin ...

But in Malaysia , i dunno why they need to use Mandarin ? you are free to talk your native language which is Hokkien or Cantonese or any other .. bahasa perantaraan already have Malay Language for Malaysia ..so why need Mandarin ?

why speak mandrin? you should use bahasa melayu... this is malaysia.. not china..if use cantonese ok .. at least can accept the etnik language.. but mandrin? what are you thinking man?

Cantonese and Hokkien sounds irritating to the ears, almost sound like Vietnamese language due to racial proximity between these three.

Mandarin sounds beautiful. But still I prefer Japanese.

Mandarin sounds horrible. Japanese is slightly better.

Because Chinese Education system (SJKC) is standardized in Mandarin

And if you speak (hakka/canto/hokkien/mandarin) fluently
And your corresponded speaks the same language fluently

why speak in another language (BM)?
Now that they don't want to, it's just that there is no need to.
They speak in the (mother-tougue) language they are comfortable with.


For the same reason, why are you replying in English in this forum?
(Please don't say it's an English Forum)

i don;t what mandrin,english or whatever language..
the only reason why i like cantonese because of this video

After watching those movies about ancient China like, the beautiful HERO (Jet Li), I fell in love with mandarin more. It sounds so, proper

You go to klang, alor setar and penang and order things from shop, they speak in hokkien.

So what is wrong with speaking cantonese?

It is because in Malaysia, not every Chinese learn mandarin, those went to malay school can't speak fluent mandarin. While those went to chinese school know both mandarin and cantonese (most only in KL and Ipoh).

We chinese friends hang out, when there's a group of chinese school and malay school educated chinese, normally we choose to speak cantonese because all also know cantonese, but not all know mandarin.

But when I hang out with chinese school friends, I don't speak cantonese, I prefer mandarin. Mandarin tone sounds better to me.
