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

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.

Of course not. Check this out:

The Cantonese and Hokkien people are more related with Vietnamese. Therefore, cantonese language sound very Viet-sounding.

Mandarin on the other hand is a beautiful language with real touch of literature standard level.

Mandarin = commie, no freedom

Cantonese = FOR FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY!!! & they like Dr. Sun Yat-sen (founder of Taiwan)

Is this some kind of lousy joke? Cantonese is widely spoken in the Guang Dong area of China, and the people there supported CCP deeply. In fact, chairman Mao was from Hunan, southern China.

Language has nothing to do with political affiliation. It's a fact that Cantonese and Hokkien sound like Vietnamese while Mandarin that the northerners speak is more beautiful.

Mandarin language was influenced by the Manchu language due to Manchu Qing dynasty.
