Tis i have no idea.

err ayam stil confuse, dialect n slang is different ah?

kam, i tich u cainis

Difference in slang is smaller as compared to difference in dialect - it introduces a few new terms but the general syntax is similar. Different dialect means the style of speaking is totally different.

is other way round, original chinese is hokien, hakka and canto etc etc
only the stupid emperor want the whole china ppl speak common language then invented mandarin

i feel good when i speak in my own dialect. feels good mang

and also cant call ppl banana if he dont know mandarin but know how to speak in his dialect
btw, hakka, canto and hokien also no problem for me

but the original chinese language got so many types, last time before simplified and even before traditional chinese writing, every word can have 20+ way of writing them...

u wan like that??? so confusing ...

when Qing Emporer united China, he destroyed all the sub language and sub culture and united the entire China.

how different exactly? like if i only know mandarin n they spoke cantonese u cant understand a thing? liddat huh?

might as well learn canto first

great thing is many hongkie movie in canto lol

not too diff, if u can master mandarin wont be too hard to understand dialek. plus, malaysians speak more cantonese than mandarin WTF

There are no original Chinese. All by their own such as Min languarge for the Hokkien, Hainanese, Canto for Southern China surrounding Guandong, Hakka - The only chinese tribes witjout a state! & etc.

The common language once manchu ppl 9Another diff ppl not really related to Chinese) captured China in 17th century, They actually adopted Beijing common Languiarge i.e Mandarin instead of their own Manchurian & enforced on all other part of China...

is that foo chow?

German and English are 4 times more similar lexically than Mandarin and Min Nan (Hokkien).

Actually the true chinese are hans chinese who they speaks hokkien. Most of them had left China long time ago and setled in places like in the Taiwan, Japan and South East Asia
