Because Cantonese has more freedom as a language, and not restricted as a tool, but rather an as evolving being, as if language itself was given life. Unlike Mandarin, Cantonese provides more leniency for its words, providing more vocabulary to describe different types of situations and emotions.

Just like English.

Unlike the Mandarin Language.

Not to see he has no talent, will for the sake of the people, you sacrifice for the people, the people will not ill-treat you. What do people need? Low taxes, against inflation, lower oil prices, creating employment opportunities, high income, low cost. Can you do it? Do so, more be support!

tat only happen in heaven, every place and ppl in this world are dreaming like that.

ngo kong har, ham har, kong har, liam har, ham tung liam, hou hou yeah..

i dont know why, most of the Kl can speak Cantonese but not mandarin. are they noob?

i must admit the cantonese sense of humor is way more better as in films and dramas but how can you compare to the official language that existed thousand of years ago? mandarin is the mainstream language, it is what represents the identity of Chinese people in China. cantonese, hakka, hokkien, teochew, hailam etc are just regional dialects.

the more languages you can speak, the better it is.

Will start Mandarin class soon

I tot in Malaysia, hokkien is better than any other clan

report to perkaka$ now

mandarin so sissy...

canton can tease ppl....

hokkien can fucuk ppl kaw kaw...

thx for the fact fag

so there are no classes for cantonese?

got laa

chou luen ba bai. mou gam lan si la sat lai sei ngo dei goong gong dong wah geh yaan. d!u

even among mandarin speaker, most of them are inferior like their cantonese speaking counterpart.
ive known some people who have known to speak mandarin even before it went mainstream.


problem?

Nei tai ngo keh ying man koh chat sou fan siong, kei si ngo em hiu tung kong tong hua?

You prejudiced me for not knowing Cantonese due to the quality of my English Language?

Pat Ham Yak Kik.

You nonsensical singularity.

cantonese can go die damn noisy..

i know cos my wife is one and her family..ah damn

Hokkien better...mandarin is not real chinese, it's damn manchu language.

waa..chinese at war with their own language..interesting to see!

vrom..vrom among chinese still continue

Nakpa ditlaka kitak urang tok?

How can any other dialect be better than Mandarin which doesn't have foul words.

no hokkien is superior because we are shameless and like to speak behind people's back.

neither

Hehe Chinese have been fighting amongst ourselves since, forever. You see their history, always war wan

Actually mandarin is one of the most traditional ones. Manchu is different and its pretty much extinct.


Mandarin ftw!

One language to rule them all!

1Mandarin!

really..? u never been to school right.. i see..
ok,i tell facts..

Bahasa Melayu
Pada abad ke-14, ketika zaman Kesultanan Melayu Melaka, bahasa Melayu dijadikan lingua franca di Kepulauan Melayu, tidak kira dituturkan oleh penduduk tempatan mahupun saudagar dan seniman yang mengunjungi Melaka melalui Selat Melaka.
Kini, bahasa Melayu banyak digunakan di Malaysia (secara rasminya Bahasa Malaysia) dan Brunei, dan juga serba sedikit di Singapura. Salah satu dari empat bahasa rasmi Singapura, iaitu bahasa Melayu Baba pernah menjadi lingua franca di republik tersebut sebelum diatasi oleh bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa perantaraan. Walaupun begitu, bahasa Melayu Baba masih dikekalkan oleh generasi lama.
Sementara itu, bahasa Indonesia yang dilaraskan dari bahasa Melayu, dijadikan lingua franca di seluruh negara Indonesia dan Timor Leste. Walaupun beratus-ratus bahasa yang dituturkan di Indonesia, namun bahasa Indonesia selaku bahasa rasmi republik ini merupakan bahasa perantaraannya.

Dai ga hou , sek zou chan mei

sek chun meh , zang dit chi dou ar , lei hmm chit da bao

tl;dr. nobody gives a shit.

how bout this..?


Bahasa Cina Klasik pernah berperanan sebagai lingua franca dan bahasa diplomasi bertulis di rantau Asia Timur, yang digunakan oleh tanah besar China, Mongolia, Taiwan, Korea, Jepun, Kepulauan Ryukyu, dan Vietnam untuk tujuan perhubungan antarabangsa. Pada awal abad ke-20 di negara China, bahasa Cina klasik diganti oleh Bahasa Cina moden bertulis. Di kalangan masyarakat berbahasa Cina masa kini, Bahasa Mandarin Baku berfungsi sebagai bahasa pertuturan bersama untuk perbualan antara penutur loghat Cina berbeza-beza yang tidak boleh saling difahami, apatah lagi antara bangsa Cina Han dan etnik lain di China. Tulisan Cina juga digunakan sebagai kaedah berkomunikasi antara negara-negara yang menulis dalam tulisan tersebut. Namun demikian, sesetengah kawasan tertentu di China juga menggunakan lingua franca tersendiri, contohnya Bahasa Kantonis di wilayah Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau, di samping juga sesetengah penduduk berketurunan Cina di Singapura dan Malaysia.

My mum speak Cantonese and Hakka. I can''t speak but can I understand here and there. My sister went to Chinese school and she speak Mandarin, Hakka, Cantonese and Hokkien. After so many years listening to her and my mum back and forth speaking both dialects, my preference goes to Mandarin.

Mandarin are more soft or in another word, romantic language like french whilst Cantonese a bit rough/kasar. However, it is good to know both Cantonese and Mandarin for the our own benefit.

lepak je pun..

Your english is so bad I'd give you a gun and ammunition provided you shot yourself.

Why so kaypoh butt into other people's argument you stupid meleis?

sorri,mmg english aku noob..

do you know, chinese incorporate malay words as well.

Word like SEMUA is commonly used as "suma" in short. when going to HK, nobody understood. hehehe.

suma = semua = chuin pou = ALL/Everybody etc.

just let us kl ppl speak our cantonese lar , pls dont come over KL , and pls rot at your own state until u in hell , thank you

wat wrong with u , did i offense u melei?

Meleis is a dead language. As the Metallica song goes, Sad but True. Now bugger off.

dun so sad la, when i want to talk to estet peasants i use malay one. take it easy.

Malays are cool people yo. Don't let us chinese trolls troll you

the best part of Cantonese is rude word. I heard it before, it just keep on keep on keep on going, until 20+ character. Just unbelievable.

combo down~ haha , but i prefer hokkien rude also , sound cool

bukan offense la..
tp bila korang ckp meleis racist,sebenarnya korang lg racist..
aku pena sekolah cina,jd aku paham la bla cinis ckp2 nie..
ingt hebat sgt,mentang2 korang kaya,jd rasa superior la..ptuih...

You can't write in proper Bahasa, you can't write in proper English. You obviously can't write in Mandarin.

Seriously, wtf can you do?
