- Wa si Teochew nang, we are all "Ga gi nang".. Have you noticed, there are more Teochew association 潮州会馆 in overseas compared to Hokkien, Hakka or Guangxi association.. That's because Teochew is one of the largest overseas Chinese subgroup, scattered mostly in Thailand, Cambodia and in the West..

great video, really helping me learn about my culture as a young singaporean. in siangpore, dialects arent as celebrated and more people are forgetting their roots. thanks for teaching me more!
Actually this video is too short and didn't cover much. I mean Teochew is so comprehensive, I've yet to cover Teochew opera, the writing and variants from different cities in Chao Shan (cos I cannot find any speaker, except for one guy from Shantou 😂), this is just scratching the surface. Hopefully in the future I can cover a deeper Teochew culture 🙏
Yes, even in China, many people will refer to Teochew people as very or even the most successful entrepreneurs. Some of the famous corporations founded and run by Teochew people include Public Bank(Malaysia), Lion Group & Parkson Retail Group(Malaysia), Bangkok Bank(Thailand), OUB Bank(Singapore), Tencent(China), Emperor Group (Hong Kong), Cheung Kong Group (Hong Kong).
Even in Hong Kong, many top Gangs or Triads were headed by Teochews even though they are minority there. And I learnt a Teochew curse word from watching many Hong Kong movies, which is PUK NIA BOR !! Hahahaha ..
@@ELGtheMAN
IN THAILAND THE RICHEST MAN IS TEOCHEW WHO RUNS C.P. WORLDWIDE AND RUNS MANY KINDS OF BUSINESS etc. MACRO ,LOTUS ,7-11 ,TELECOM AND OTHERS
IN TOP 10 RICHESTMEN IN THAILAND AT LEAST 7 ARE TEOCHEWS . TEOCHEWS ARE EXTREMELY WISE AND HARD WORKINGS. THEY ARE THE MAIN ROOTS OF THAI ECONOMY . TEOCHEW PEOPLE ARE UNITE, THEY ALSO CREATE MANY CHARITY ASSOCIATIONS TO HELP PEOPLE IN EVERY ASPECT.
@@kkp9640 that's great to hear.. I'm always happy to meet Thai Chinese. I'm Malaysian Chinese. When I meet and interacted with Thai Chinese, the feeling I have is close yet unfamiliar. Kind is strange but special, haha
@@ELGtheMAN Hey OUB Singapore
founder is definitely
not a Teochew. He was
Oei KengCheong. 黃慶昌. His son Oei Cho Yaw 黃祖耀 is the Chairman. They are from Hokien Kinmoy.金門
Now under Taiwan, Republic of China's
administration. I think
you also dare to say
Thaksin,Yingluck Shinnawart (Hakka)are
also Teochew. Have a conscience.
Who is also ga gi nang? Greetings from pure teochew people from Indonesia. 🙏🏻✨
Waa cari orang sendiri kat sini, hahaha
I always thought “Ka ki nang” is 自己人， because 家 is pronounced as “ke” in Tio Ciu and not “ka”
Ga gi nang ? Hmmm my mom and family said this Nang ee nang /our people
And ka ti nang = alone/ did it by myself
@@trawmmwart8149 nang ee nang have different tones as it has different words: 我们的人。ka ti nang (自己人) does mean alone or by oneself.
Hi
Ga gi nang from Sambas, West Borneo 😅
Thank you for this video. I’m Teo Jiu from Vietnam but raised in America since a month old. I actually can speak the dialect and appreciate the culture. Although my family is Teo Jiu from Vietnam, when hearing the differences in your video, I realize I sound like the traditional Teo Jiu in China. What’s amazing about Teo Jiu people is that we are very lingual and speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and many other South East Asian languages very fluently. Not sure if it’s because the sounds in the dialect help make the tongue more flexible. But something I always observed and have been proud of about Teo Jiu people. My Mom speaks 5 languages fluently and can switch between any and people can’t tell whether she’s from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc.
Believe it or not, most Vietnamese restaurants in California are family owned by Teo Jiu people and in my opinion are the best! Many Vietnamese dishes have Teo Jiu influences just like I find in Thai food. I don’t believe Teo Jiu people get enough credit for their great influences. As I get older now, I appreciate my Teo Jiu heritage much more. Thank you helping me learn more about Teo Jiu’s history. ❤
I am Chinese-Indonesian. My father is hokkien and my mother is teochew. I love your research!, thanks for that! I think it is important for young generation to learn our root. There may be a wisdom from the past we can retrieve.
I am a Teochew and I lived in Singapore. I always have a strong affinity for ka ki hang when I hear one. Be it Singapore Malaysia Thailand or Indonesia. Very proud of my roots.
Hellooo from Australia, thanks for this video. Teochew are found every where in South East Asia. Some are very well known (like Li Ka Shing a billionaire in Hong Kong). I’m pure Teochew. My paternal & maternal grandparents are all Teochew. My mother’s elder married an Indonesian lady (my aunt) who was half Teochew. Her father was Teochew & mother was Indonesia. She learned to speak Teochew. My cousins (children of this uncle) all speaks Teochew & their relatives in Indonesia also speak Teochew. Here in Australia, I sometimes hear Chinese people speaking Teochew , to my delight. When I go to do shopping at a Vietnamese village (Inala, in Brisbane), I sometimes hear people speak Hokkien, Teochew or Cantonese.
Great content about teochew culture in Malaysia and Indonesia. I’m the 5th generation of teochew family in Thailand. Ka Ki Nang is the very common phase which still can be very well understood, even though I can speak the language. Many words are adopted in to Thai language. We speak no more teochew, but we still keep the tradition. Our family functions still keep on going every event, such Chinese New Year, visiting grave yards, and moon festival. Thai food in central Thailand especially in Bangkok is really reflecting teochew cuisine.
Thank you for watching Sutee ✨ Glad you appreciate the content 🙏 where are you from in Thailand? Is there a lot of Teochew in your area?
@@FearlessPassport acctually I'm Teochew most of teochew are from Chaozhou ,I'm 12th generation as well my ascentor from "潮陽區/Cháoyáng Qū", I cannot speak Teochew at all
except for cursing ...lolz, and most of cursing word using in native thai ex 衰, 兴衰, etc.
My family came before first wave of chinese oversea came out, there are a lot of Teochew people livig in Thailand before for a long time, I living in Sumut-sakorn near by Bangkok as known as 龍仔厝 in the pass, Thai people "Chinese habor city"(เมืองท่าจีน), This city didn't refer as oldrest Teochew ppl in Thailand, for example King TaakSin of Thonburi , he is half Teochew,

That's why there are too many of Chinese in Thailand are Teochew
anyway people in Thailand every race except Chinese and India. They are not focus on the family blood line like as Chinese. so this made many of prople misstaken about Thai-Chiness, they are 100% Thai people( What ever race/ethic/tibe they are) Chinese Teochew melth with Siamese(Tai-Mon) over 300 year, some can track back to their family some is not, some of them re reunion again after first wave of chinese oversea moving. there are very long history of Teochew in Thailand
I love this video. I can speak Teochew but my parents and roots originate from Saigon, Vietnam. It's so awesome seeing how Teochew is spoken in different areas as well such as China, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and comparing it to speakers from Vietnam.
I am a Hokkien Chinese from Indonesia. When I went to Saigon I met some Teochew and Hokkien speakers there 😀
In the same boat as you 😂
China towns in Vietnam are predominantly Cantonese and other Chinese groups need to speak Cantonese
As Javanese Indonesian, I wondered the difference between Teeow Chew, Hakka and Hokkien and their composition in Indonesia and South East Asia. Thank you for your videos. It make me appreciate more of their cultures.
Now you know more of your Tionghoa Indonesian friend☺
I answer from my pov as Javanese too. Di Pontianak, orang Tionghoa kebanyakan adalah Tiociu, berbeda dengan Singkawang yg adalah Hakka (saking besarnya persentase populasi mereka, bahasa Hakka bahkan dianggap sebagai lingua franca di kota itu).
Secara umum, stereotype orang Hakka adalah pekerja kasar, buruh, kuli, montir bengkel, dan orang yg "berani kotor". Berkebalikan dengan orang Tiociu yg dianggap lebih ke sektor perdangangan hasil jadi (bukan produksi), seperti pemilik toko. Keduanya sama2 dikenal sebagai etnis yg memiliki etos kewirausahawan yg kuat. Disclaimer, stereotip ini saya dapatkan dari mereka sendiri ya, dan bukan bermaksud rasis.
Secara bahasa, bahasa keduanya 'unintellegible' yg artinya kedua penutur tidak dapat mengerti bahasa satu sama lain, walaupun banyak di antara mereka yg memahami kedua bahasa tersebut dengan baik.
Sangat gampang mengidentifikasi seseorang Hakka atau Tiociu dari namanya, karena nama mereka menggunakan bahasa masing2.
Contoh: Ng biasanya orang Tiociu, sedangkan Bong biasanya Hakka
Cmiiw, matur nuwun
Well..I would say, Teochew and Hokkien are quite simillar, it is akin to Malaysian and Indonesian language. I think it is because historically Teochew and Hokkien people originated from Southeastern China, hence their simillar dialect. I am half Teochew and Hakka (khek), but more fluent in Teochew. When I listened to my Hokkien friends speaking their language, I understand them completely, but I can only reply in Teochew, vice versa. I find this really unique. 😊
As for the Hakka language, I think it is hugely distinctive from Hokkien and Teochew, but rather simillar to Cantonese. Hakka language also have a very unique accent, for example, Pontianak and Singkawang Hakka in Western Borneo Indonesia.
Semoga jawabannya bisa membantu.
@@KangAri99 a very unique insight about Teochew and Hakka people's stereotype, and it is not entirely wrong. But nowadays, I think that stereotype of Hakka people as a lower working class has diminished.
If you're familiar with Game of Thrones, I would describe Teochew people tend to be more like the Tyrells or Lannisters, as for the Hakka, i think they are more like the Tullys, Starks, or Baratheons.
@@KangAri99Kebiasaan menjadi stereotype orang Hakka dan Theoceuw berbeda di setiap kota di Indonesia. Seperti di Medan pada era pra 1970an. Terdapat pedagang orang Theociuw, dan orang Teociuw yg bekerja kasar, berdagang yg bau2 seperti dagang ikan basah dan ikan asin. Di Medan pada era itu sangat sulit menemukan orang Hakka berdagang yg bau2,kerja kasar. Kebanyakan berpakaian rapi/necis sebagai pedagang klontong atau profesi guru.
Saya tio ciu INDONESIA dan masih hari hari pake bahasa tiociu dalam keluarga , sama anak saya kami juga pakai bahasa tiociu sebagai komunikasi biar mereka tidak lupa akan bahasa tiociu.
Thank you for this video. I am teochew living in America and was intrigued and enlightened by the info in this video. It gave me more knowledge about the origin of teochew people and makes me proud to be “teochew nang.” I have kids who are losing their ability to speak teochew and it is sad. This is a great video to show them where they come from. 👍🏻
My family is teochew nang from Cambodia. We are known for our pepper and durian plantations. And of course, we live in a coastal province so we love our seafoods.
Hi. I'm a Malaysian malay and I find your docu very interesting. Been seeing couple of your videos and I'm glad there's a malaysian who capable of doing this on CZcams. I love what you are doing with this channel. I'm always intrigued with Chinese history. Good job keep doing what you doing love your channel. Subscribed
Thank you Freddy ☺☺ I'm glad you liked it. Happy to have you here!
I wish Malay people can do a video about hangtuah, hang jibat etc and find out who Hang family are and mean to melaka sultanant. And Why Baju kurong so similar to ancient Chinese clothing
@@tangtony1536 baju kurung similar to ancient chinese clothing? For me thats not similar at all. One is nusantara clothing of sarong innovated costume, another one with multiple layers due to 4 seasons and cold weather up north. Nusantara is humid, windy and just a thin fabric :)
@@tangtony1536 my theory is if malays look back in the history. Then they will discover that they're not originally from this land. Thus their bumiputera status will be question.
@@freddykay1645 haha..where were we from then?:)
Love this! Thank you!
I recently found my family in Jie Yang! After 80 years of seperation. All this time for 2 generations in our family kept saying we're from China but never certain where exactly! It was fate that I found them in 3 days and the info you provided helped me understand my Ga Gi Nang ironically enough :) so thank you!
Hi Joanna✨ I'm glad you found your family! How did you managed to trace back your family?
Very happy to hear this
Jieyang has an airport.
But anyway all the Teochew districts are
butting each other and transportation in the Teochew area is excellent. 恭賀團圓
Hi Joanna, congrats on finding your family! I'm very interested in finding out if I still have family in ChaoShan area as well. Would love to chat how you went about your search. Thanks!
@@FearlessPassport Fate is my strongest belief as to how I found them if not it was my grandfathers in heaven who made it so easy and unbelievable. I travelled around China on tour and thought I'd add a trip down South to see what 'my kind of people' look like and what they eat. I knew it was somewhere close to Shantou. I was only able to squeeze in a total of 3 days. When I got to the airport at midnight that taxi driver said that the hotel I booked is not from around there- it was in a whole other State. So we asked the taxi driver to take us to any hotel to stay for the night and we'll sort it out in the morning. Hotel was nice and I decided to just message my cousin to see if we have any address' where uncle wrote letters to China and I gathered address (there was no way I knew that address was close to where I booked the hotel/airport) and name but I had the most help from the Hotel Manager- I gave him my mothers surname and my fathers surname and on day 1- He came with us to ask locals in the district of the surname to ask if this is the area of (Surname) & if they knew my uncle/grandfather/mother? and to our surprise after about asking 3 people (in only half an hour of searching) we came across a man who gave a call to the name titled on the letter and long story short he turned out to be my mothers first cousin- in that discovery I found over 100 related relatives on mums side. My newly found relatives took me in as family in an instant - I ate and witness truly how Ga Gi nang were all about. Not on tour but directly as my own people.
Teochew from USA 😄 left Indonesia in 1989 . Would love to visit Chaoshan one of this day
My late Akung was a Teochew nang from Guangdong. He was landing in Thailand before his final destination Indonesia, but he wasn't pass down his Teochew culture to my father not even his language. Akung only speak Teochew with his daughter in law which is she came from Riau. So... the information of your video really connected and make sense.
Thank you, hopefully it brings back some memory of your Akung🙏
righti kowsometeochew pple in riau
Guangdong is Cantonese Province. Originally & usually only Cantonese & Khek / Hakka live / from there. Seldom heard Teochew coming from Guangdong.
@@fongchingkong2303 you might like to check on a city called Chaozhou and Shantou. I just found recently.
@@fongchingkong2303Of course Teochew people came from Guangdong province. My ancestors were came from JieYang, Chaozhou
In Vietnam, the Teochew people live mainly in the Mekong Delta such as: Tra Vinh, Soc Trang, Bac Lieu and Ca Mau. I, a Teochew-Hokkien, always remember my culture and roots. From the time of my great-grandparents until now, there have been 5 to 6 generations.
Can you still speak Teochew? I would love to get in touch with Vietnamese Teochew speaker :)
@@FearlessPassport Sorry, but I can only hear and understand some sentences, some words in Teochew. But I'm glad to know that the Teochew community in Southeast Asia still retains our cultural identity. Thank you for promoting Teochew culture to everyone. Wish your channel more and more subscribers. ❤
how do you identify a teochew in vietnam? most have assimilated into the kinh community and looks the same. i went to district 5 in HCM but did not hear anyone speaks cantonese or teochew.
Thanks for doing this video. It’s an introduction to people to understand the origin of the TeoChew clan more so to educate young TeoChews about their own history.
Thank you for watching🙏 I'm glad you liked the video!
Thanks for d video.. Great one!
Your video enlightening of my Teochew root , which I'm from Cambodia and the majority of Chinese are Teochew.
Wow! Thanks for this video. It was super informative. I am so happy I found your channel.
Thanks Susan :) What brings you here? CZcams recommendations? Nice meeting you!
me native Teochew nang in Shantou watching your video now haha! Thank you for organizing all this info! Love it!
I just found this video, that's very good. I am Teochew Nang in Thailand. Talking about Teochew people in Thailand it is very long history of migration. First group probably showed 3-4 hundred years ago for trading, settled down, and assimilated into Thai society. 200 years ago we have Taksin The Great (鄭王), he was the son of Teochew nang and served for the old capital Ayudhaya's royal court before the fall of Ayudhaya. He liberated Siam from Burmese and coronated as the King of Thonburi, former capital before Bangkok. The influence of Teochew nang in Thailand is strong in different aspects not only economy and culture (especially food that you can see on the street) but also politics. During the 1920s, the era of the birth of Thai Nationalism, influenced by King Rama VI, like you said Eastern Jew, he invented this word to criticise the Chinese accomulation of wealth but their economic status and power had grown due to King Rama V's westernisation of Siam. Many weathy Chinese at the time tightened with royal family through marriage. As King Rama VII once said, and this is interesting, "our blood that running inside our body, half a chinese blood". In the modern day, the wealthiest family is Teochew nang family with the very good tight with government and the royal family.
Correct！Thailand King is Teochew King, 鄭姓，潮州王。🔥
Thai People泰国人，also same as 傣族 from China.
Very good content, hope to see more
Thank you for watching 🙏
In my opinion, the Teochew languages of Kuantan and Pontianak are the same. Both ways of pronunciation are variations used in everyday conversation with the same meaning and it will be well understood by the listener. Even the tone and pronunciation are very similar.
Perhaps next time I should try a more difficult conversation, hahaha
Maybe there are from the same original which laded settled on different area.
Wonderful video! Thanks from a Singaporean Teochew, We are Ga Gi Nang wherever we come from.
You are very informative and share interesting value. Nice keep us posted.
Thank you for watching, Francis🙏 Appreciate your comment✨
Love your videos on dialects and the diaspora side of the story! Keep up the good work!
Excellent Videos👍I am from Swatow,China. I am so glad to see you who is oversea Hakka could introduce Chaoshan/Teochew culture so well. I am hoping you could register a bilibili account and upload your videos with Chinese subtitles so that could be a cultural bridge between Mainland Chinese and Southeastern Asia Chinese.
Thanks for doing this video,, I’m Teochew nang from Medan Indonesia (North Sumatra)😍
Thank you :) glad you like the video, Pauzi🙏
Thanks for all your videos!! I’m Penang lang and currently in Australia. I came across a lot Indonesian and mainland Chinese friends and your videos gave me so much knowledge & information. Now i know why my mainland Teochew housemate understands my Penang Hokkien. They sounds so similar.
Must try mainland Teochew food also. I watched documentary eg 老广的味道 Chao Shan food are so tempting!
Dude the teochew language in penang is very mixed with hokkien terms.
I just discover this video . Thanks so much for featuring this video with such informative info . Im a Teochiew btw. KAMSIA:)
great video, l really enjoy watching it
I am 25% Teo Chew due to my Maternal Grand mother who was from Pulau Ketam. Her father was the Kapitan of Pulau Ketam. Thank you for your information so that I have connected some of the dots in my ancestry ❤
Insightful Teochew Culture Video 📷. I would like to try bubur goreng 😁 in the future. Thank you Yeeven for this amazing video 🙏🏻
Yes, must try bubur goreng!
Thank you, I gain more knowledge from this video! I become speechless when I heard other Chinese dialects as I only speak Mandarin... Maybe some of my Chinese friends are Teochew. Love your videos! :) :)
Thank you Zul 🙏 Maybe after you've mastered Mandarin, you can choose a dialect and learn another language 😊😊
Thank you for this video. Just watched it after 2 years aired 😁 I am the third teo chew generation from Pontianak, Indonesia. My first langsung is teo chew.
Amazing research, being Manchurian/Mongolian myself, I still find your content incredibly amusing, great work 🎉🎉🎉
Informative. Great in details. Thank you for the update my maternal family lineage!
What an amazing video - thank you so much!
Wow, well-done. Feel proud of you as a young overseas Chinese generation who cares to learn more about your ethnic background. I learned a lot from you in this video. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to watching your next videos. 👍👋🙏💪
Thank you Joanna :) Glad to have you here too. Where are you from?
@@FearlessPassport I am from HK.
Great and interesting vlog. 👍👍👍💐💐💐
Glad that you liked the video Sylvester :)
Thank you for researching the Teochew culture and sharing your findings!
Learn something new from your videos about ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia. 👍
Thank you for watching✨✨✨
thanks, great video n effort
Woah 好期待啊！Gonna watch it after class! 😁
Thanks for support!
@@FearlessPassport thank you so much for making this well-researched video! Now I know why A Gong used to have a boat! 🤣
Finally the video I have been waiting :) Actually, the Teochew language does have different slangs based on different counties/cities. My ancestors are from Hui Lai county (惠来县), and our slangs are somehow lighter and have a more upbeat tone at the end of each sentence. I'm glad that I grew up speaking Teochew with my parents and grandparents even though lesser and lesser family members are willing to learn their mother tongues now.
Oh btw, by now I know why I always prefer seafood over other meats, especially fishes with plenty of bones XD
Another fun fact, my ancestor's kampung is actually from Bai Ling Village (白岭村), which is the only village that consists of almost all (99%) Roman Catholic believers. So yea... my family from great grandparents here in Malaysia are born Catholics too :D
So interesting! On the other hand, I don't like fish..I only eat salmon or dory fillet that has no bones 😂
@Vincent Lee, thanks for your info. Now I know that Hui Lai speaks Teochew also.
Thank you so much for your great videos
Its so amazing dear
Thanks. Your research and consequential presentation are very useful for viewers to have some understanding of Chinese dialects. Whenever I do ask Chinese folks here, many are unable to answer me or I may not trust their answers. On the subject of Bak Kut Teh, I gained some explanation form another presentation in that Teochew food is somewhat milder, so the lighter version is Teochew while the darker ones are Hokkien. I tend to accept that since Hokkien use more tau-eu in their cuisine.
I visited Shantou and Xiamen a few years ago. I could hardly understand Teochew spoken in Shantou and in Xiamen I was disappointed that many people don't and can't speak Hokkien which I learned later that they are actually from different provinces and only in Xiamen to work. In Hangzhou, a restaurant lady was impressed with my accent and said I could pass off as a local. She was indeed surprised and pleased to learn that there are many Chinese and dialects in this part of the world.
Chinese are everywhere in the world now, trying to make a better living. Yes you;re right, Bak Kut teh in Teochew one is milder and peppery, while Hokkien one is in dark broth.
excellent video. will researched and presented 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Appreciate your time in watching, thanks Alan :)
Your fantastic thank you for all the wonderful detail.
Hello Fearless Passport
This is an excellent explanation of Teochew culture
I looked for your name, but could not find it.
So, I shall call you FP
I have shared your excellent video with my extended Teochew family, comprising of about 30 people.
I’m Teochew. When I was in English class,I always tell my foreign teacher that I am Tewchow and introduce Teochew !
👍👍👍
Thank you, Yeeven. I did not know nothing about Teochew people. Now you told me so mutch about them. Interesting.
Great video. Can consider next video on Hainanese? I am Hainanese and I would love to share some information to my Hainanese groups too :D
Next time I'll ask you for the voiceover ya🙏
Thank you fearless passport. I was travelling Malaysia and Singapore for more than 1 month until few days ago. And I'm totally fascinated into their culture and story. Your videos about Hokkien and Teochew made me understand them more. And the languages are so unique to chinese I used to know. I'm glad a young person like you is still trying to preserve the culture and history. Big love from Korea🇰🇷
And i thought Teochew is a someone's name or sth until i saw this video. I always saw a giant building named TEOCHEW in KL. And i had teochew fried noodle in Penang. It was so tasty
Thanks Baek 😊 you’ll be fascinated to discover the food and delicacies from Teochew. Their snacks (we call them kuih here) are my favourite. Very special and full with flavours 😋
@@FearlessPassport kuih yes i tried it already in KL. it reminded me of my country's food 떡.
Thanks so much for all your explanations on Chinese culture. These are immensely educational for bananas and young generations
For bananas Yes :) hahaha, also for overseas chinese. Thanks and I'm glad you find the video helpful, Goh.
Thank you for video, I am going to share it with my kids.
Thank you for watching🙏🙏
Great work on the research, i understand you covered the migration of Teo Chew after the Opium war. In the future, may be I think it is worthwhile looking into the Teochew migration to Thailand since the 15th century, much earlier than the other countries in South East Asia. The culture and mixed marriages have very much interwined and influenced Thailand and made it into what it is today. Thanks for the video. Cheers
Yes, I will cover that in the future. If not this video is too long. I was looking for Thai teochew speaker too, to put in the video for comparision, but unfortunately I cannot find anyone :(
But many Thai Chinese are Hakka. Former PM Thaksin was one of them.
@@andrewsitu3472 that is true, Hakka has many top politicians such as Lee Kuan Yew and Deng Xiao Ping. Teo chew however is the majority group in Thailand.
Teochew descendants in Thailand in the earlier day were Thai kings ministers who did the accounting of collecting taxes etc. It also explains that the richest during Malaya era were closing related to the colonists or colonist merchants.
You can try hatyai, southern thailand. I once visited a braised duck shop, auntie boss speaking teochew. She’s a thai of chinese ancestry.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful historical of teochew people, cultural and food from various parts of countries. I am proud to be part of the teochew people (Ga Gi Nang) That is for sure our teochew food which is teochew congee, teochew braised duck with hard boil eggs and pastries like Ang Ku Kueh, PNG Kueh and Tau Sa Piah are the best food ever in my whole life.😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Well done 😊👍👍加油！
Thank you for great VDO. I'm Thai -Teaochew in 3th generation.
Thank you for the content! I'm a teochew myself, but only recently learned the history of my clan.
Leu Ho Yeeven! Thanks for sharing this video ☺️ You spoke very well and your video is very informative too. I’ve visited Singapore a number of times and never once realised Bak Kut Teh was a Teochew dish nor was it a Teochew word 🙈
Its a Teochew and Hokkien dish, depending whether it is white or black broth😂 do you like Bak Kut Teh?
@@FearlessPassport Oh how interesting! I've tried it once and it was in a white broth, it was a little too 'meaty' for my preference but my colleagues enjoyed it 😅
If you visit Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia you will find a sizeable population of Teochew (as well as Hakka) in the city. In fact Teochew will be the Lingua Franca among the Chinese community in the city. You will also find many Teochew restaurants as well as street food serving traditional as well as Local (Indonesian) blend delicacies such as Kwe Kia Thng (Soy sauce broth of pork serve with Kway Teow), Kwe Chap (Pork, pig skin and tofu serve with Thick Kway Teow in Thick Sauce), Hee Moey (Fish with Rice in clear soup), Goo Bak So (Beef Meat Balls of different textures serve with Kway Teow or noodle or rice), Steam Fish serve with soy sauce, He Geng (Fried Prawn mince), Hoi Cho (Fried Crab Mince), Yeam Mie, Yeam Kway Teow (Kway Teow or Noodle dry blend with chef's mix sauces, usually serve with fish ball, slices of fried fish and prawn mince, soy sauce pork and shredded crab meat), Ou Nee (Mushed yam blended until very fine) usually as a dessert, Chai Kwe (vegetable wrap in glutoniuos rice sheet) usually either steam or fry and popular fillings include Goo Chai, Mang gwang (bengkoang), bean or yam, and so many more dishes.
Awesome vid, feel connected to my mother's tongue. Teochew is also sizeable in the southern Malaysian state of Johor. Especially Johor Bahru, where the Tan (Chan in canto, Chen in mandarin) clan have roots on both sides of the causeway.
A unique teochew dish to Johor is the kway teow kia ... a thin rice noodle, soupy herbal gravy and bak (meat).
I havent eat any Kway Teow Kia before, haha. Looks like a must eat delicacies in Johor!
@@FearlessPassport kway teow kia a bit similar to Penang Kway Chap.
You can choose a lot variety pig organ and meat and also got duck meat.
Thank you for the very informative feedback on the teochews !
I speak Medan Hokkian and can partly understand Teochew, I have a few friends that are Teo chew
Very informative about the Hainanese and Teochew dialects. Good to know. Thank you. Possible to do one on the Cantonese dialect too? I heard there are many different sub sections amongst the Cantonese people. Examples like xunde, dongguang, toishan, samsui seiyup etc….👍
👍🏻 Thank You! I love it -
Aww terima kasih Fahezah✨✨
Good to see you. I'm second generation teochew nang and live in Bangkok, I understand well when I listen people on teochew dialect conversation, thank you. 你是我的自己人，阿。
Finally! After waiting for 2 weeks 😁
Thank you for waiting patiently 🙏
Every episode from this channel proves to be very educational in term of understanding the various Chinese ethnic groups . Never bored to view/listen and comprehend what Yeeven's systematically explanations to benefit in particular the younger Chinese generations/audience at large which they might not known the Historical background of each ethnic groups they belong. Well done Hakka mui .....!
Your message is very encouraging, Bob. That's really nice to hear. Thank you very much🙏☺ hope these videos are benefiting to people in some ways. Thank you for your time in watching and your support means a lot to me!
I am a Teochew who knows very little about the history behind..
A friend sent this to me
Great work...keep it up..do more videos like this ..interesting research you did...and well presented , too..
Thank you Sharrel 🙏 glad you liked the video!
I'm from Pontianak and identify as a Teochew. Have some peranakan descent as well but if you meet me, you'll think I'm from China. LoL. I'm third generation as my grandfather hailed from Qining village in Jieyang. When we visited the mainland, I contemplated to visit our ancestral place but give the limited time decided against it and toured Guangzhou instead.
Regarding the varieties, the words in the videos are too easy and I can understand 100% except the Ji Jun （现在) used by the Malaysian Teochew speaker. I lived in Singapore and pretty much need to learn Teochew as diction and even some of the words are different. Not very difficult but I find most people just spoke Mandarin to me so it's definitely not easy to speak Teochew there. Been to Batam and their Teochew is very similar to Singapore's. I only went for a short visit but I more or less can communicate in Teochew there.
My grandma is peranakan too. We're the same. I was born in BM, Penang. Ning ho boh? Ha mi kang tao? ☺️
@@V3RTiGo7 hi hi
Great video ! fried congee is really delicious 😋and ba kut teh has became Malaysia iconic food , it’s a must try food when foreigners come to Malaysia.
Yes yesss!
Cambodia also have a lot of Teochew people.
A good video 👍
I’m Teochew Nang born in China, living in Hongkong. There are a couple of accents in Teochew dialect, but we can understand them all, just like the word “fish 魚”, we can pronounce it in three different ways, the consonant is the same but with different vowels.
My ancestors was oversea Teochew that moved to Thailand during the evolution . I wish i could go visiting their old village one day.
I see! Can you still speak teochew?
@@FearlessPassport Nope , most of thai-chinese can't speak their ancestor's language.😅
Our Teochew famous dishes include ruang2lou5 煖爐｜暖爐 which is food cooked in a pot over charcoal, known as 火鍋 in Standard Chinese
another is ngou hiang 五香 a meat roll and known as 肉捲 in Standard Chinese
another lou'gho 鹵鵝 braised goose
牛肉丸 ghu5 nêg8 in5 beef meat balls
and many more
Teochew food is really a gem. I didnt know Teochew has so many kueh after I made research for this video. 💪💪💪
@@FearlessPassport We have peach cake which has many names and ang to guê 紅桃粿 is one of the most famous. As it is nearly Mid Autumn Festival, we have la'bian 朥餅 which you can get this in SE Asia. Then there is hung'guê 粉粿 which is found in most Cantonese restaurants. Of course there is gu'cai'guê 韭菜粿
Teochew has our own PinYin and I use standard Teochew PinYin which took me a long time to learn to spell correctly.
Ang ku kueh is the bestest, chewing outside, sweet inside. Already few years I have not been eated
@@Cincololol Ang gu guê is a Hokkien guê. I am a Teochew but I also like eating ang gu guê. It is not difficult to make and you should watch a few videos on CZcams and you too can make this guê.
very informative video about our chinese roots n culture.
Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you for the insight. Talking about porridge, here in Pontianak we have "Aeroplane Porridge" aka Pue Ki Mue aka Bubur Pesawat. 😁
OHH WOW how does it taste like? Sounds delicious by its name!
The rabbit fish (white belly fish) is an exquisite dish eaten by Teochew during Chinese New Year. The other specialty is the Teochew Png Kueh
Good information... Thank you
Thank you Ming for watching✨✨ rmb to subscribe and share to your friends!
I'm Korean living in Malaysia... I learnt a lot from you... thanks!!
Thank you Pedro🙏🔅 Enjoy your stay in Malaysia!
My dad is Hokkien and my mum Is TeoChew. I speak both. If I tell my mum that TeoChew is a sub-dialect of Hokkien, she will most definitely disown me. TeoChew ga gi nang spirit is strong in every of my TeoChew relatives, and I can sense some rivalry with the Hokkiens , similar to that of the English/French rivalry today.
3rd gen Singaporean Teochew here. My grandparents are from Swatow! Yes we do love our seafood . . . .
Hakka but love porridge, cockles n mandarin oranges like Teochew people !
This is excellent! What a great job! Learnt so much from your research. Thank you.
A similar video for all ethnicities including the different Orang Asli groupings in the country, and the migratory tract and food and culture, would be so interesting and really show us the richness or our population in Malaysia!
Thats a good idea! I would think about it ☺☺
Great video! I am a 100% 4th Generation Teochew in Singapore. Though Singapore Bak Kut Teh is great, I also prefer the Malaysian version and am missing my bi-weekly travel to JB Sentosa for my favourite dish. Hope this pandemic will end soon and welcome us back to Malaysia again!
Welcome to Malaysia! Please try Bubur Goreng too! ✨
no needgo johorfor hokien version! therea e many tllsherein sporeselling the hokien herbal version here in left side of hong lim food center and one in bukitmerah central food centre besides i like todd dark soy sauceto the pepery version
@@kensim8378 Most Teochew prefer the peppery version as you can drink alot of the soup and won't get jelak.
@@FearlessPassport There are a few outlets in Singapore selling Fried porridge these days. Maybe their origin is from Malaysia.
Fourth generation hmm.. likely in 20s?
I am Chinese Indonesian and my father's family is hokkien. Thank you for sharing this wonderful history.
Hello from a Toronto-born Teochew person. Unfortunately, I'm not really fluent in my 潮州話 and this is partially due to the fact that I grew up speaking mostly English. But I always find it fascinating how there are so many different subcultures among my Teochew folks including some individuals from South Korea and Japan I had met in college.
U r probably teochew from Vietnam lol
@@Cincololol my parents are, but not me.
Hi Isabella :) Your surname is so special! It's ok you can still learn the language now if you have the will, hehe.
@@isabellaphuong3026 are they from Saigon?
Former Worker's Party of Singapore boss Low Thia Khiang is a Teochew Nang.
I think many people in SG are Teochew nang :)
@@FearlessPassport true. Not to mention most residents of Hougang are Teochew. They voted for Mr Low for the last 30 years.
Very informative. My Grandparents came from Shantou or Swatou (previous name in Teochew pronunciation.
Thanks for your great information. I'm Tiew chew from thailand
❤ well done 🎉
Thank you for Ur video，I'm Teochew raised in Singapore
wow, impressive video. As a Chinese I did not know these information. In my hometown Zhejiang province, we have 88 different dialects and in the previous time, people can hardly understand each other. I remember teacher taught in dialects in school when I was young. But nowadays more and more children tend to not speak dialect which is a pity. Dialect is kind of history and culture.
Pu Tong Hua is still important to keep everyone understand each other, but yeah. Losing mother tongue is a shame. We can only teach the next generation to speak the language :)
@Jessie in China 第一次聽到 浙江有88 種方言. 到過浙江好多地級市 覺得 嘉興湖州話很接近 杭州紹興話也很接近
凌波話像上海話 只有
溫州 麗水 衢州 台州 金華話聽不懂。 你有浙江88 種方言的列表讓偶見識見識嗎 謝謝
@@laurencechan470 嗯，很多方言很接近，但是不一样。就是外人听着差不多，但是我们自己就感觉差很多。比如我的老家是金华，下面有很多市，然后每个市还会有不同的方言。再比如温州下面每个市，县的方言都不一样。我没有列表，这是我查的资料，但是我感觉88种是肯定有的哦。
I can speak Hokkien and Cantonese. Understanding Teochew isn't a tough thing if I can speak Hokkien and Cantonese, because there are many words which have the similar pronunciation like Hokkien and Cantonese in Teochew.
Very good ❤
