廣東話
gwong2 dung1 waa6*2
|
|
Cantonese language, originating in the 廣東 (Guang Dong) region of China. Sometimes mistakenly said to be an older dialect/language than Mandarin, although this is not really correct as both languages have changed considerably in the past few hundred years. The general concensus however, is that Cantonese has more in common with Early Middle Chinese than Mandarin does. Level: 2
