  • This video has subtitles available in English, Hakka, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese (Mandarin).
    Henry Liu is an interpreter and the first and only New Zealander to have held office as President of the FIT (International Federation of Translators). Here, he speaks about language interpretation, the struggles of minority languages, and the difficulties of not being about to communicate.
    This video is from our Chinese Languages in Aotearoa series and part of our broader Voices of Asian Aotearoa project, which uses language to highlight complex issues of cultural identity within Asian New Zealand communities.

    I am proud to be a Hakka from Malaysia. Hope the hakkas around the world continue and persist to pass this dialect to many generations.

    I am Hakka, and appreciate the perspectives Henry shared in this video.
    I currently live on the Big Island of Hawai'i, and I resonated deeply when Henry drew inspiration on how the Maoris are bringing back their culture and language despite not being allowed to speak and practice their culture for over a century.

    I am Hakka people. Born in Taiwan. I understand this language as this is my dialect speaking with my parents. Good to know Hakka is all over the world.

    Incredible video and inspiring too! A shame that it's not getting many views, but this series of videos showcasing the variety of Chinese languages is truly amazing, and it's making me proud as well as a minority dialect speaker and a member of the wider NZ community

    I too am Hakka and could understand Henry perfectly even though our versions of Hakka are a tiny bit different - more like an Irish person speaking English vs a person from London speaking English vs someone from the US speaking English. My ancestral Hakka is from Fa Yen. Henry's Moi Yen Hakka. I am very happy to know that regardless of where Hakka people live in the world (whether still in Mainland China or in all continents) the one thing that binds is and connects us is our Hakka language.

    This Hakka dialect is the one my grandmother, originally from Meizhou, spoke. Hearing this brings back many memories.

    wow this is amazing! My grandmother's hakka was 'moi yuan'. The speaker is right. It is quite a quandary to try spreading a language in which only a verbal tradition exists among family. It is reassuring to hear this language again. Thanks again for posting this!

    With social media, there greater opportunities for Hakka peoples of different locations to use and preserve the Hakka dialect. Hakka owe themselves the responsibility to preserve their language, and use Hakka among themselves. Otherwise, future Hakka people will be culturally rootless, and experience a "lost" identity. Of course, Hakka must learn Mandarin and another language depending on where they live. For instance, English in NZ, Australia, or Spanish in Latin America, etc.

    I am Hakka from jiangxi province,China , it’s been ten years that I live abroad, I used to speak Hakka with my grandparents, since they passed away, I got few opportunities to speak this dialect , when I miss them , I search for some Hakka videos just want to feel them again , the sad thing is the new generation doesn’t speak this dialect …

    I once read that to 'sin', was the Latin for: 'to miss the mark', wrt communicating. Concise communication is essential to understanding. Many lives have been lost because of a 'sin'.

    This Moiyen dialect is very close to Siyen Hakka (Taiwanese Hakka) 😍😍😍

    • @the_zsriverpanda
      @the_zsriverpanda Před rokem +3

      「四縣」的四個縣就是從那裡來的XD
      "Siyen" literally means "four counties," referring to the historical counties that are around what is 梅縣 today.

    There are many avenues now open to Hakka to learn the Hakka language. Try searching in CZcams, you will find many relevant videos teaching you to speak, or just listening to this endearing language.

    If you are Hakka, and is able to speak or understand the Hakka language. You will find that that the various spoken Hakka slangs have more commonalities than differences.
