does it work

@@tony-lam The Indian charm

My family is from guangdong and I can kinda understand what they’re saying when they talk slower. I think it’s the poor audio quality.

its 圍頭話 so its pretty much a canto-hakka mix. its understandable why its difficult to understand.

That's Guangxi dialect (Western) which shares similarities with Guangdong(Eastern) dialect i.e Cantonese. You may find some elderly villagers speaking it in Central Pahang and northern Perak bordering to Thailand. Most of them came as 1st generation farmers.

@@jameshue55also in Segamat, Johor. There’s one village called Kampung Kwongsai.

@@HBC101TVStudios thank you for sharing ❤️. There are also some Baihua speakers in the mountain regions of Quang Ninh, Bac Giang, Lang Son, Thai Nguyen in northern Vietnam, which are called the Ngai people by the government. They're actually Hakka but they can speak Baihua because most of them came from Guangxi.

方言以前也有方言學堂，當中法文也是在方言學堂裡面教的語言，那法文就是中文的方言嗎？方言在古代時候只是在指地道語言而不是比官方語言差，法文當然不是中文的方言。我們現在對於方言的概念是因為我們把西方dialect的概念翻譯做方言但是其實這個翻譯做成了很多的問題，例如把中國地道的語言看作不同版本的普通話。所以，其實我們所謂的方言是我們本土不同的語言，全部都有獨特的歷史和文化。 中國有這麼多的地道語言是我們的寶藏，從古以來到現在都是我們的文化。我們現在方言和語言的分別只是政治的，而我自己認為我們沒需要忘掉我們的文化和我們的語言。反而，我們應該保護我們的文化，不應該停止使用我們的語言。

而且，香港現在享受一國兩制，香港政府就算是中國政府的下首也有權把廣東話認做語言，香港市民也有香港特區的護照。還有，在香港，由於香港大部分人懂廣東話，中文文學是可以用廣東話學的（香港中文大學有粵語教的中文文學課）。這正明中文的文學用普通話教不是因為普通話比其他方言多文化，只是因為中國人懂普通話，所以普通話會方便。懂普通話不等於要忘掉方言。我們是不應該廢除我們的方言的。教育制度要我們廢除方言的話是教育制度有問題。

As a non any Chinese speaker, I just want to say one thing; "ziu lan kung fu hao yeh".

we know!!! these are the dialects of cantonese!! did you know cantonese has many different dialects within itself and this is one of them?

@@nmm88811 my family use a dialect in cantonese and its freaking dying :(

It can be considered as a sub-dialect if you consider Yue as the language

​@@nmm88811is teochew one of them?

@@sayajinmamuang Teochew is barely related to Cantonese, it is a dialect of Southern Min (Fujian) languages/dialect group.

I haven't heard of this sound for a long time.... I do not hear many weitou speakers any more.. But this black and white movie sounded really cute... She's very good ! :) "Ngor mmm juuu ah".... I understand everything she said. I am so glad that, they used to do these kind of radio shows first... so you can hear the original sounds and tones of the speakers... I hope that these work are preserved somehow. Cos a lot of the internet versions are not the same at all. But these radio recordings have very good sound qualities.

My paternal side of the family left China five generations back. It's a shame we can't speak Toishanese anymore. We can only speak standard Cantonese

I guess the Yue languages are analogous to English and Flemish, or English and Dutch in that these languages are in really close branches in the Germanic family, in the Indo-European Family, similarly, like Cantonese and Toisanese and others in the Yue Family and Sino-Tibetan family. I guess the more you know.

Me too!

If you're interested, there are other videos in the Zhongshan dialect. If you're interested, I can give you several links.

I recall seeing a documentary where a grandma was disappointed that Mandarin is the only Chinese dialect in school. So Grandma, who spoke Cantonese, said she barely understands her granddaughter. Reminds me of myself, an ABC, speaking to my parents who are limited in English. Wild times

Guangzhou education from kindergarten onwards forbids students from speaking anything other than Mandarin; it's all about language assimilation from a young age. And it's terrible... this is how an eradication of a spoken topolect happens.

@@juliette7151 It is terrible. Promoting Mandarin is important in China and it is understandable in classrooms they must use Mandarin, but there is no need to regulate what dialect they speak during recess and lunchtime. The Cantonese native parents also should be encouraging them to speak Cantonese at home and with friends and family and Mandarin should all be only in classrooms. The Mainland Chinese government claims if they are still speaking their dialects, it will affect their way of speaking Mandarin, which is all baloney. They just don't want any regional accents and want everyone to speak exactly like Beijing people. They have less appreciation and respect for regional cultures. Plenty of Mainland Cantonese speakers can speak Mandarin just fine just like any other Chinese dialect speakers. It is such baloney for Mainland China's government to say speaking other dialects will affect their ability to speak Mandarin; they may still have an accent, but so what. In the USA, it is made up of all different cultural people and many students of immigrant parents speak their parents' languages at home and with their friends even during recess and lunchtime and no school staff are charging up to them like tyrants to stop them from speaking their own cultural languages, only in classrooms they must speak English and when they grow up, they speak English just fine like anyone and can still speak their own cultural language though less fluent than English in often cases. Look at Europe, many of schools in their countries mandate their students to learn more than one language, why can't China allow that. Just imagine if the USA had the same standard for everyone to speak English exactly the same way like China does for Mandarin, do you want to know how many people would not be in the newscast programs all because they have southern accent or mid-west accents, they would even cancel Dr. Phil's TV show for having a Texas accent and think of how many Hollywood celebrities would not be in the entertainment industry all because they have a New York accent or Chicago accent or southern accent and etc. and also all these American ethnic neighborhoods would not even be allowed to have signs in their own languages and think of how all the Chinatowns would be with no Chinese language signs.

@@supertrouper the government is afraid of separatism and they realize that if people have one identity one language, the risk is minimized. Plus they are obsessed with efficiency and GDP, and diversity of languages cannot improve this.
