attempting to speak my native language (hakka) vlog (美国人说客家 kejia)

[@eu8235]

Thank you for doing this vlog. Outside of my family, I've only met one person who speaks Hakka. Watching this made me really happy. I don't have many opportunities to practice anymore which is really unfortunate.

[@moberson]

There are many Hakka dialects btw. As hakka ppl are known as nomadic that emigrates to southern china back centuries ago, hence the difference. Glad i learnt Hakka in these two years.. we in Malaysia have preserved well our dialects such as canto, teochew, hainan, chao ann, xinghua, hokkien, foochow, etc.. I'm hakka and my mom is hokkien so we speak hokkien more. If you realise it, some words in Korean language has similarities with hakka.

[@unclescandal]

The difficult thing about Hakka is that there are so many variants and some aren’t even mutually intelligible. With that said, you can still be proud of your ancestry and preserve as much of your preferred Hakka! Lots of love from Malaysia :)

What a coincidence! I'm a fellow Singaporean, Hakka and our surnames are Lieu/Liew. I'm trying to learn the language too but constantly being laughed at for getting the wrong pronunciation 🤣

[@celloting01]

Don't confuse between Cantonese and Hakka, two different dialects altogether. I'm Hakka and I can understand your grandparents perfectly, even though my Hakka is from a different part (New Territories, HK). Try not to lose your roots, easier said than done, of course.

[@michael-qt3er]

@@JS-rm2ws it's because cantonese is the lingua franca for chinese poeple in north america. just like hokkien is the lingua franca for chinese in south east asia. so most chinese descendant in that area can speak both their mother tounge and the lingua franca to speak with other chinese group.

[@seanxim3697]

Chinese is not one single uniform language, it is one large language family consisting of many languages within such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka etc. So Chinese is like the Latin language family which consist of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Romanian etc. As such, Hakka in Chinese is like Spanish in Latin language. Much like Polish being part of Slavic language and Danish being part of Germanic language. Latin, Slavic and Germanic are part of a much larger language group called Indo-Aryan Language. Chinese however is also part of a larger language group called the Sino-Tibeto language group

While your hakka was hardly understandable to me i was able to understand some. Some of the clear differences we had were that, you pronounced (you) as "nghi", while in here we say "nyi".. But words you said that are same to how we speak in here are nya = your sam ku = clothes ngai = me kong = say mai = buy chu nyuk = pig meat ngai teu = us ma'ai/ma'kai = what I think it was very cool to see someone very far that lives on another side of the planet have similar culture to mine

Actually you can speak Hakka, just practice more with your grandparent. Your grandma Hakka was good, her accent / intonation are similar to my kinda Hakka. Cheers from Indonesia
