Although many places have its own dialect but based on the central government requirememen , Mandarin can use in all the dialect place.
That is called dictatorship
Chinese for whatever reason is so much easier than Arabic for me, at least the beginning stages
yesss! it’s because of the lack of grammar! Arabic has so many inflections 😢
Mandarin itself is a group of languages that are not mutually intelligible
Chinese is a like a group of a group of languages
The possible reason for many Chinese dialects in Southern China is nomadic invasions. In history, nomadic tribes easily invaded China and they established a central government. The problem is the centralization in Northern China was much more simple than in Southern China. Also, nomadic tribes also made the immigration to Southern China. Therefore, while Mandarin is the only dialect of Northern China, Southern China has many. For example, the Hakka dialect, was the result of the combination of the Xianbei language and Old Chinese. Or the Yue dialect was the result of Middle Chinese of the immigrants from Northern China and the language of the native people in Guangdong.
Kind of surprised there wasn’t a mention of the Cantonese dialect.
Cantonese is equivalent to Yue 👍
Karenic, the language of the Karen.
Exactly, my thought. Ha ha.
Mandarin (官话) means the language of the Palace. Yet the official Chinese name Putonghua (普通话) means language of commoners. The two carry literally opposite meanings.
I never thought about that 😂
Both names actually come from the language’s use as a lingua franca, a language known to people from many different regions that could be used for universal communication.
i always thought guan官(관,かん）meant more of government official/public service kind of thing. at least my knowledge as a korean. and putong普通（보통,ふつう）means not only commoner, but more of general/standard/widespread. so imma say thats not that extreme opposite words, but what do i know
No, I think the second term just means “Standard language”. The original term comes from it being used by certain officials.
The word Putonghua was made up BY the CCP
官 refers to the officials (mandarins), don’t get it confusing with 宮 which means palace.
Himalayish? Is that like a kind of Himalayan? Lol
Many people in the Jin region speak a language totally different from Mandarin. I still remember when I visited Taiyuan a couple years ago, I was unable to figure out what the locals talking about if the locals did not want me to understand.
