  • Chinese dialects may be more than you think! This can explain why many people you encountered in China speak Mandarin with an accent and you could hardly understand. Even two people whose hometown is one hundred kilometers (about 62 miles) apart may not understand each other.

      I have been learning for only about 5 years, I started for my boyfriend at that time, now it's more about me... and my husband now of course! But I can't imagine a day where I just know it all and am fluent. I'm okay with that ❤

      You have this on many countries in EU also. Like Germany or Italy for example. If there wouldnt be a main language, the people would hardly understand each other. But I heard in china its so wide spreaded different that some linguists would seperate it to languages, not only dialects.

      @@blop1343 You are right, other nations have the same issue (including my home the UK to an extent), but I think because of China's immense size and ethnic diversity the issue is the most extreme of anywhere.

      Because Cantonese and Teochew and other non-Mandarin Sinitic languages are completely different languages from Mandarin with virtually 0 mutual intelligibility, sort of like a native Russian speaker needing to learn Polish, Czech, Serbian etc before being to converse without difficulty. As a native Cantonese speaker, I understand virtually nothing from Teochew, Xiang or Shanghainese languages. I understand Mandarin only because I learned it during high school.

    Well I am Indonesian, and really relate with this... We have completely 700 different languanges... without "bahasa", we will not understand people from difference city... there's saying that the languanges will changes every 60 km when you travel in Indonesia... I and my distant cousin live in the same province but different district... our house just +- 40 km apart... But if she's using her traditional languange I'll not understand a word....

      I understand Dwi Yerlis Rahmi. I often visit friends in the Cirebon region on the north coast of Java. There are some villages where have the people speaking Sundanese, the other half speak Javanese (Jawa Cerbon). Many people mix both languages, plus loan words from Arabic and English. It is a very colorful mix! 😊

      My parents retired to a village 40km away. I only understand about 50% of the local dialect. This is also in northern china, where dialects are considered "mild". Their culture, habit etc are pretty different from us too. I actually enjoy this aspect. Stuff in the US are so standard it's bland.
      Keep your culture and dialect alive. Those are invaluable.

      @@GamelanSinarSurya thats why our ancestor created Bahasa Indonesia as our national languange....
      Actually Bahasa Indonesia is different from other country mother languange that passed down from their ancestor (ie korean, english, chinese, japanese, etc)
      In 19th century to united our large and multicultural country with many languages.... We decided using "melayu language" wich often used by trader that time, and adapted some foreign word to our language.
      We read word as what its writen, and doesnt has complicated tense.
      There's no past and present word type of word.... just at time stamp word like "dulu, kemaren, etc" for past and "besok, nanti, etc" for future.
      Its easy to use and to understand.

    The 7 “dialects” presented in this video is a bit of a misnomer. Only the speech from Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Henan and Guangxi (even people from parts of Guangxi speak Cantonese natively as well) are considered dialects of each other, as they’re part of the Mandarin/Guan “官” branch of the Sinitic family. All of the other ones from Hunan (湘), Guangzhou (粵), Shantou (閩) are completely different languages (within the Sinitic family), as different as between Russian, Polish, Czech and Serbian. BTW, my native tongue is Cantonese and also speak Mandarin.

      Yea I have yet to watch this video and I’m betting it’s gonna be a neat video, but seeing the word “dialect” used whilst seeing Cantonese listed on the screen confused me lol. I’m native to English and don’t truly know much about the Chinese languages, I just know enough that mutual intelligibility between spoken Mandarin and Cantonese is insubstantial to call them dialects. I can’t watch this now but I’m excited to later lol

    • @abowlofrice3487
      @abowlofrice3487 Před 3 lety +4

      im fairly certain Cantonese is a dialect of Chinese, as well as the Hunan dialects. i think that they are under the same language of Chinese but are basically different languages because of the large differences.

    • @ahenrycc84
      @ahenrycc84 Před 3 lety +43

      @@abowlofrice3487 I think the more accurate way of describing it would be Cantonese, Mandarin, Xiang, Hokkien, Shanghainese as distinct languages under the Sinitic language family. There's no such thing as a Chinese language. Written Cantonese vernacular is very different from Mandarin with some differences in grammar as well. Same with written versions of Shanghainese, Hokkien etc. People often mistakenly think there's only one "Chinese language" with "dialects" is because everybody from all provinces in China learn to write in "Standard Chinese", which is actually the written Mandarin vernacular in order to politically unify all the provinces within China.

    • @yemi6944
      @yemi6944 Před 3 lety +32

      Main problem... The idea of dialect and language is very political (and probably Euro-centric) , instead of being strictly linguistic. Usually, people refer to Chinese as a language when most of the "dialects" are mutally intelligible. On the other hand, I have never studied Portuguese, but thanks to my Spanish degree, I have always been able to speak Portuguese and watch television in it without subtitles. Yet, Spanish and Portuguese are considered different languages. Since Chinese is considered is considered a language, then everything spoken in China is a dialect, regardless of whether related linguistically or not.

    I m 2nd gen foochow (fuzhou) in Malaysia. Somehow my dialect sounds totally different from all of you! Also I have never heard how fuzhou in China sound like.

      Fuzhou dialect is a part of northern Min subgroup. Shantou/Teochew and Hokkien are parts of southern Min subgroup. The northern Min subgroup is not intelligible with the southern Min.

    If you can't understand the other person it is not a dialect, it's another language. Even if the government pretends that everyone speaks Chinese.

    Yellowbridge says that, @ 1:17, nail (finger nail 指甲 ) is pronounced "zhǐjia" , NOT zhǐjiǎ.
    I have noticed that when you add two chinese words together, to make a compound word, the 2nd word often becomes a neutral tone.
