JAYOE TRAVEL VLOG1007 - Driving Penang
A MOSTLY-DAILY TRAVEL VLOG
#malaysia #kekloksi #malaysia #penang #jayoe #travel #precovid
I am from Malaysia, Penang is a food gourmet paradise... And many exotic place to visit.
Among Chinese, Mandarin is the official language. The Chinese have various dialects and in Penang, it is mainly Hokkien! there are Cantonese, Hakka, Hainan, TeowChew and few more..
My home town!!! Matt hope you have a great time here!
Nice you tried teh tarik in Penang. BTW, Hokkien is a dialect from Fujian Province, China. The one in Penang has been "Malaysianised". Typically in Malaysia we can speak 3-4 languages, including 1-2 Chinese dialects. :D
unbelievablely beautiful nature and culture. a nice friendly brother who is a member of JaYoe Nation.
hokkien 闽南语 is one of chinese languages mainly spoken in southern fujian province, northeastern guangdong province and taiwan. it is not a dialect of mandarin. Although the word hokkien means fujian (the name of the province) and that's how they pronounce it in hokkien. But in english at least it refers to the language that is spoken in southern part of province as fujian province has many different languages the chinese in penang brought over hokkien languages
That said, it's a dialect
Mandarin is the official one and the rest is within the same system, so it's a dialect
I would love to see Matt do an entire episode speaking only in Chinese. Wouldn't that be great? He has excellent closed captioning.
@@keepitprivate3856 In my opinion, the english translation of Chinese 方言 as dialect is somewhat inaccurate. The Chinese definition of 方言 is 地方语言 that is not official. The fact that it's local and non official does not disqualifies it as an language. As most linguists will agree. The so called Chinese languages are really a language family that is called sinitic language family and it has many languages within it. With that being said, mandarin is not the official, putonghua is. And there is a difference between putonghua and mandarin. Mandarin is 官话 in chinese and there are ,many types of mandarin. the dialect spoken in szechuan is a type of southwestern mandarin but it is not putonghua. Those subdivisions of mandarins are indeed dialects but cantonese hokkien hakka wu languages etc are languages within the same sinitic family as mandarin and each of them have their dialects too within it.
@@siqhishsqqqshsi6958 that is dialect
Same system
Pth is Mandarin. Just like I say I learn Chinese, more specific Mandarin, or Pth as you described, and as you said, Mandarin is the official language, then all other within the family is dialect, same form, grammar etc
Suggest you to watch the linguistic channel that discuss Chinese language and how they categorize the language family
@@siqhishsqqqshsi6958 BTW Mandarin is Pth in english
We will say we are Chinese. And we won't tell people we are zhongguoren
You could rename this episode Temples and Food. I loved Penang when I visited. Nice city and area.
I loved the food in Penang. Nice beaches too
Thank you so much for sharing your insights and this video. It makes us look forward to more travel experiences in the future, even if virtually!
awesome... yea... hopefully i can be on the road again and show them realtime.
Welcome to Malaysia
Kek Lok Si (極樂寺)= Temple of ultimate happiness/bliss (or something similar). "Si" in Hokkien means temple.
Hi! Matt, welcome to Penang, I've been following your vlogs, it's nice to see one about my hometown. I'm sure you have many followers in this part of Asia.
Most Chinese in north and south of West Malaysia mostly speak Hokkien but for North and South Hokkien had different accent. Chinese in East Malaysia mostly speak Foochow,Hokkein,Hakka.
In center of West Malaysia most Chinese speak Cantonese specially in Ipoh and Kuala Lumper..
Our family are from Guangzhou but our whole village speak Hakka,most Malaysian Chinese can speak few kind of dialect such as Hokkien,Foochow,Teochew (from FuJian province) Cantonese, Hakka (Guangzhou province) also there is some from Guangxi and Hainan province speak their own dialect.Most of the new generation now speak Mandarin and they didn't learn much of the dialect that where their family comes from.
I'm still lucky that i still can speak/read some Mandarin, Hakka,Cantonese,Malay,English (Hokkein,Teochew just understand 40-50%) but lots of my friend they can speak more dialect or language then me.
Teochew ( Chaozhou) is in Guangdong province, same as Shenzhen for instance )
@@twlee3849 haha i always confuse both of this language but when they speak the foul language then i am sure which is Hokkkien and Teochew😂
wow! I live in Penang. I can recognize the place you visited 😁
Almost 1 year , finally u post your Malaysia vlog
I also love the food in Penang, another great video Mat.🧆
I actually spent part of my honeymoon in Penang. This video brings back a lot of memories.
It is beautiful there. Thank you for sharing.
here the price of a bird's nest can reach IDR 12 million / 1kg, sometimes even more depending on the quality. The dumplings that are eaten here we call it in the tio ciu language "chai kwe" "chai" means vegetable "kwe" means cake.
The best tour guide in the world.
The old ferry is no more. They have replaced it with smaller faster ferries that can only load motorcycles and walk in passengers from 1st January this year.
Drone shots of Kek Lok Si Temple are amazing
Saya anak Malaysia
Kek=极， lok=乐，and si=寺。 together it's 极乐寺。I reckon it's Minnan dialect.
Hi there, sadly I didn't not yet have a trike..
From Malaysia.
Weather is gold
Beautiful temple. Cool scenery.
Matt, Hockkien is MinNangHua, spoken in QuanZhou, Fujian and Taiwan
Matt, Tq for the video, I can’t visit my family there due to the covid. (Residing in US now). Thawin, great Malaysia hospitality. I would have told Matt....ask Mr. Google 😊
Please do an episode speaking entirely in Chinese🙏🇨🇳😍
why???
@@MarkinChina why not?
@@MarkinChina it would prove how much you really understand both sides
@@MarkinChina plus, it's the best way to show respect to China.
@@loyalcommunut5134 Why ?? He is not in China.
Puzzled at first - nobody wearing masks - then realized oh 1 yr ago. Penang is our food paradise.
About the languages, Malaysia has multiple ethnicities blended like "rojak". I'm from East Malaysia and mixed in with the Malay dialects there's around 2 dozen native languages like Iban, Kayan, Kelabit, Melanau, etc etc. I speak Foochow with the older immediate family members, Hokkien or Mandarin with friends, my wife is Cantonese but her mum is Hakka....... Hahaha 😂. I went to a Catholic Primary school and at our time, we were taught in English With Bahasa and Chinese language as separate subjects. Rojak lah.
👍👍👍👍👍
I ❤ penang
Hokkien (also Fujian hua) is actually the dialect of Fujian (福建)China.
Welcome to my tiny island
I miss penang !!
Gorge hill you could fly dron there
Galaxy Temple
It’s Penang.. as in Pe naaaang
Matt, when did you do this video? We are not allowed interstate travel under the current Movement Control Order, how can you cycle through Malaysia, in to Singapore? How come you can walk around without a mask?
you are right that Hokkien is a dialect of Mandarin. China calls it 闽南语. To further complicate this, Northern Malaysia and Southern Malaysia Hokkien slang are different
Hokkien dialet is from Fujian Province, China
Hahaha....on the contrary, you could say Mandarin is a dialect of Hokkien! Before Mandarin, there was the Hokkien language . Mandarin is a relatively new language. Linguists say that Hokkien is not a dialect so much as it is a language in its own right, just like Cantonese and the rest of the so-called Chinese dialects that are mutually not easily understood by the other
Northern Malaysian Hokkien mostly comes from the Zhangzhou variety, while Southern Malaysian Hokkien is from the Quanzhou variety, having parents that speak one or the other is funny I might say but there is a reason for the difference, but there are people that think this divide sprouted out of Malaysia...
@Om Ni That is the problem I have with the definitions of dialects and language, when Hokkien, Cantonese or Mandarin is labelled a distinct language, the whole thing becomes politicised in such a way to say they are different ethnic groups bluffed into becoming Han Chinese, but people don't say that the these differences are the history of evolution and divergence from our ancestors past...
Matt, I think the language you learned in Chaozhou (posted in douyin) was actually very close to hokkien if not the same.
Yea, I think Hokkien and Teochew/Chazhou are about 70% - 80% intelligible to each other. Probably has something to do with Chaozhou's close proximity to the southern part of Fujian province where the Chinese variant of Hokkien is spoken.
@@edukid1984 Migration of people, they based on the 'Min' Chinese language family, and have since diverge, even among the other Minnan languages - just a river could cause two towns in relative proximity separated by a river to have their differences, crazy.
Yes, Georgetown, Penang is on my check list. Jayoe.
Hey Matt
normally bird nest house owner don't allow visitor because too much at stake. visitors may bring germs, bacterial, smell (that birds don't like)and any kind of things that may destroy the habitat of the bird living inside the house. owner uses thousands to millions ringgit to build and develop bird nest house.
👍👍👍
Don't want to be a downer, but it is good effort that someone volunteered to show you around, but I will say this, as a local Han Chinese, most are unaware of history and appreciate their other brethren cultures on a very superficial level, those who see themselves in the middle are the usual victims and have since become diluted, that is the shortcomings of creolisation - everything gets blurry and weaker, so if you want to get the clearer picture, might I suggest, actively talking to people who stick to tight communities, Malay kampungs, Tamil, Malayali, Punjab enclaves, Asli (Indigenous) areas and Chinese towns.
Every state have their own distribution of different cultures even different Chinese diaspora, but I will only speak from the Chinese perspective. Anyhow the population of Chinese in Malaysia comprises of Hokkien (Fujian), Cantonese (Guangzhou), Hakka (Kejia), Teochew (Chaozhou), Hainanese (Hainan), Hokchiew (Fuzhou), etc, they are arranged in descending order - all the anglicized terms are based on their respective Chinese dialects; I have put their Mandarin equivalent in parenthesis.
As for demographic data, Kedah - Teochew, Taiping - Teochew and Hokkien, Penang is dominated by Teochew and Hokkien (Zhanzhou), Malacca - Hokkien, Ipoh - Cantonese and Hakka, Kuala Lumpuer - Cantonese, Johor - Hokkien (Quanzhou), Sabah - Hokchiew, anything else is spread around in between.
Food wise, it depends on localities too, many have their own specialty, don't listen to those that only have a partial view of it; see what you find and try it, because some people are restricted to certain food items - they have their biases in their own way. But in short, Mamak/Indian food tend to be very expensive relatively for their meat products - for who knows what reason other than maybe the amount of spice their put in, Hawker affair is mostly on the Chinese view, while Nasi Padang/Lemak/Kukus/etc are usually are the Malay affair, then you have other in the mix like Nyonya (Mostly Straits Chinese food with local ingredients) or Kristang food.
This is only from a local Chinese that analyses from a historical point of view and considers the movement of people, you want the rest, I guess you can go ask around.
Ahhh guess I gotta pay a revisit to Penang! I didn't explore Georgetown at all, but seems like there are some stunning sites there! Seems like this was a long day, when you said you were headed for lunch I was like this guy already did a day worth of activities lol
What was the ferry’s name?
I didn’t realize they drove on the “wrong” side of the road there until this video
British colony. You Canadians are lucky you’re close to the us hence drive on the right side of the road. Lol
This video must be old, because Malaysia is under lockdown now
Come on, we speak hokkien all over Malaysia. It is a dialect from Fujian province in China. In Penang hokkien is the main Chinese dialect group. Food in Penang is authentic, eat the food at night market.
Welcome to Penang, Matt. I followed you from China to Penang.. Hahaha
Hi. New subscriber!
Matt, is it easier doing youtube videos outside of China?
no... i mean the internet is a little slower.. but i can record freely anywhere in asia.
@@JaYoeNation nothing beats China! You are the man!
Gweil0 60 was here too.
why don't post Tv interview with CGTN with three guys
It's Penang rhymes with slang , tan, gang. Does not rhyme with none.
Isn't Hokkien 客家话？Anyway, do you know "Ketchup" is from Hokkien pronunciation?
nope, 客家话 is Hakka
Hokkien is from Fujian Province, China
@@alvinchung8184 southern Fujian to be exact.
福建..?
Everybody is preparing for Chinese New year, then February 4th comes with travel ban :/
Oh this was 1 year ago, no wonder I don't see masks on :v haha
Cool video you might like my channel as well !
燕窝？
Good morning Matt, for a Penangite it is so painful to watch this episode. You have a really ill inform, very poor local guide for company. I am really sorry for your less than authentic Penang experience. Any Penang lang agree with me?
I am not from Penang but from KL but I agree with you totally.
Give the young man a break, he is just a cycling fan, not a tourist guide or historian...Yes of course, there are lots of people in Penang who are more knowledgeable, especially in eating out, going places and getting stuff only the locals will know. Love Penang, food etc., best of all, the Penangite fun and warm hospitality. Cheers.
Matt didn't hire him. He volunteered to show Matt around. He even googled to learn whats interesting in Penang. He deserves praises for his good intentions, hospitality & efforts.
@@soonhenglim7986 praise him 🙌🇨🇳
Thawin came to see me at his expense because he really wanted to hang out and show me around. Every perspective is appreciated. Im not faulting him. i appreciate it so much.
It looks disgusting
