    How is Cantonese pronounced and what is the difference between it and Mandarin?

    How is Cantonese pronounced, and what is the difference between it and Mandarin, at present, Cantonese and Mandarin are completely different languages, and the writing is a unified national script from Qin Shi Huang, and the rest are very different. Mandarin has pinyin, English has phonetic transcription, Cantonese also has Cantonese pinyin, Cantonese only has none, Cantonese has 9 tones, the pronunciation is completely different, Huang and Wang pronounce wong with the same sound, and Cantonese also has polyphonic words. A lot of everyday words are also different, yes = department, no = um, what = 乜野, I don't know = I don't know, I'm sorry = sorry for not sorry, done =.

    There is also a difference in grammar, the adverbial is postpositioned, the double guest is exchanged, you go first = you go first, good morning = morning, give me a pen = I have a pen, anyway, the difference is very big.

    At present, the initials, finals and tones of Cantonese still retain some characteristics of the Middle Ages. In terms of initials, the tongue sound of Mandarin is pronounced as the root of the tongue in Cantonese. In terms of finals, Cantonese retains some medieval endings.

    In terms of tones, Mandarin has only four tones (Yin Ping, Yang Ping, Shang Sheng, and Go Sheng), while Cantonese has as many as nine tones (Yin Ping, Yin Shang, Yin Go, Yang Ping, Yang Shang, Yang Go, Yin In, Yang In, Zhong In). Vocabulary . There are six differences.

    The first is that the grammar is different. Or the word order is different, as in Mandarin saying "I'll go first." Cantonese said, "I'm the first."

    Or use a different virtual word, such as saying "I'm reading" in Mandarin. Cantonese said, "I read books tightly." "Wait.

    Putonghua is the common language of the nation and the legal language of communication on formal occasions; Cantonese (also known as "Cantonese") is a dialect of the Chinese language. The use of surfaces is different. Mandarin is spoken throughout the country, and Cantonese is only spoken in most parts of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, and Macau.

    In fact, the pronunciation of most words in Cantonese and Mandarin is different, or even "irrelevant", and besides, the initials, finals and tones of Cantonese are much richer than those of Mandarin.

    The Cantonese people are Cantonese people.

    The colloquial "Cantonese people" are rooted in the remnants of the Qin Dynasty, with the Pearl River Delta as the center and distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia, Europe, America, Australia and other regions.

    The Cantonese people are the largest of the three major ethnic groups in Guangdong Province, accounting for nearly 60% of the population. At the same time, the Cantonese people have the widest distribution range among the three major ethnic groups in Guangdong, and are the main representatives of Guangdong customs and culture. The Pearl River Delta is the core area of Cantonese cultural distribution with the Cantonese dialect as the carrier.

    Cantonese people are the most successful group of people in promoting their own culture by the Han people.

    1. The origin is different

    The vernacular originated from the Hakka dialect, and the Hakka dialect is divided into many branches, so the vernacular originated in the Cangwu region of Guangxi, and the vernacular can make people who belong to the Hakka family understand the words, and it is also called Hakka official dialect. Cantonese dialect refers to the Cantonese spoken in the Cantonese area, which is actually Cantonese dialect. The birthplace of Cantonese is not Guangzhou, but Cantonese is orthodox in Cantonese dialect.

    2. The name is different

    Guangzhou used to be called the provincial capital, so the Cantonese dialect and the provincial dialect are actually the same thing. Hong Kong Cantonese is actually Cantonese dialect. At the beginning of the last century, most of the first people to move to Hong Kong were Cantonese, who brought Cantonese to Hong Kong and made it the mainstream language.

    Vernacular in the Cantonese-speaking areas of Liangguang, Hakka in Guangdong, and Hokkien in Guangdong (Chaoshan area) "vernacular" is synonymous with the local Cantonese.

    Locals refer to Cantonese as vernacular.

    Because for the Chinese who are universally greeting, the vernacular is relative to the literary language, which is the ancient language, and the vernacular is the most commonly spoken Mandarin in the country.

    But for Cantonese people, the situation is completely different, the general vernacular, that is, the written language, for them, is not the daily language, hungry and just like the classical Chinese to the average Chinese, so they feel that the written language is not the vernacular, Cantonese is the vernacular, which is the reason why the vernacular is equivalent to Cantonese in Guangdong Province.

    Cantonese was formed in the late Tang and early Song dynasties, and was influenced by the Han immigrants of the Southern Song Dynasty. In fact, the Cantonese people still have a very small number of Mongol elements.

    The ancient Chinese folk system evolved into the Middle Chinese folk system, the Middle Chinese folk system is the Hakka folk system, the Hakka dialect is "cut rhyme", the late Middle Chinese simplified into all dialects, so the Hakka people became the major folk lines, the genealogy of the Cantonese people records, the ancestors were the Hakka people in Jiangxi and western Fujian at the end of the Song Dynasty, and entered Guangdong and Guangxi through Nanxiong Zhuji Lane, and the Hakka dialect in Jiangxi was first simplified into Cantonese dialect in Wuzhou, Guangxi, that is, Guangxin.

    Han blood 80%, Baiyue blood 20%, Baiyue blood is mainly matrilineal blood from the appearance of this also verifies this, 80% of Guangzhou people look like Chinese, 20% of Guangzhou people look like Vietnamese, and the data coincides.

    Historically, 500,000 people moved to Guangzhou, and the Baiyue people in Liangguang at that time were still underdeveloped due to the mode of production, and the population was estimated to be only about 300,000 according to Professor Li Dongfang, so the Qin Dynasty began to take the Han people as the main bloodline of the Guangfu people, coupled with the large-scale southward migration of the Han people, the Han people were more and more bloodlined.

    What kind of bloodline analysis article, mostly grandstanding, the landlord wants to know that the bloodline of the Cantonese people is enough, just look at the appearance of the Guangzhou people, and the appearance of the Vietnamese is very different.

    I'll give you the correct answer, the Cantonese people are the descendants of the Lingnan Qin army and the local aborigines, and the first-person e goose in the vernacular has the same first-person origin as the Guanzhong dialect. Other words can be reinvented, but the first person that is meant to be expressed as soon as you open your mouth cannot be changed. Similarly, there are Hakka dialect and Henan dialect, I don't read an to read aan, and the Hakka reading is similar.

    The Hakka people only moved south after the Eight Kings Rebellion, and it was a long process to move out of Henan one after another, and they were distributed south of the Yangtze River. The target of the Lingnan Qin army is Guangdong and Guangxi, so the vernacular is only available in Liangguang.

    The formation of Guangfu people: Qin conquered Baiyue, 120,000 soldiers, Baiyue is estimated to be less than 1 million people, Qin is not familiar with the tropical climate of Lingnan, the mountains are high and dense, and the losses are very large after a long attack, and the troops continue to increase to 500,000 soldiers, after the war, the Qin soldiers and the hundred Yue people are 500,000, one million, distributed in dozens of county towns in the three counties of Liangguang, Guilin, Xiangnanhai, Zhao Tuo built Nanyue independently, contracted his troops to withdraw from the west of Nanning, lost the main force of the main city of Nanhai after the war, and the remaining Guangxin Qin people in Guilin County were culturally dominant, and the Han Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties continued to lose wars, The more serious wars in the north continue to move in, and batches of immigrants take the local main culture as the custom, which has been continued, the Guangfu culture was stereotyped in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty Li Hu people were sinicized, and the sinicization of various ethnic groups formed the official language, and the difference between the ancient sounds increased, the Tang Dynasty was extinguished, the war in the north of the Song Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the southern migration was formed, and the Fujian people were formed, Liaojin and Western Xia, the Mengyuan war, and the Hakka people moved south to form the Hakka, during which the Hakka people took Fujian Longyan as the center and invaded eastern Guangdong, and the later Fujian people also invaded eastern Guangdong with Fuquan and Fuquan as the center, and eastern Guangdong was mixed with Guangke and Fujian,, In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Hakka anti-Hakka mainly invaded the land of Guangfu and broke out the Turk-Hakka War, the Hakka occupied Meizhou, Heyuan, Huizhou, Shaoguan, and the Cantonese people weakly withdrew from eastern Guangdong, and the Fumin people took advantage of the Turk-Hakka war to force away the Chaoshan Hakka and occupy the Chaoshan !!

    The original meaning of Guangfu was the Guangzhou Mansion established in the Ming Dynasty, one of the ten prefectures in Guangdong, which governed most of today's Cantonese-speaking areas.

  14. Anonymous users2024-01-24

    The reason why there is the word "Guangfu" is because there are two main groups of Chaoshan and Hakka in Guangdong, although they are also Cantonese, they pay more attention to being Hakka and Chaozhou people. So, it's not Chaoshan in Guangdong, what do you call the Hakka people? There is no reason to call it Cantonese, because Chaoshan, Hakka is also Cantonese, therefore, the concept of "Cantonese people" appeared.

    However, the word Cantonese is not well-known, and it is not recognized by Cantonese people in Guangdong outside the Pearl River Delta, such as western Guangdong, Siyi, etc. It is necessary to regain the true meaning of the Cantonese people. That is, the original name of our people is Cantonese, not Cantonese.

    We entered the Cantonese Association. The Guangdong guild hall abroad is the guild hall that specifically refers to the Cantonese people. Overseas Meizhou Hakka people and Teochew people do not join the Guangdong Association, they build their own Hakka Hall and Chaozhou Hall, plus the Hokkien Hall of the Hokkien people, collectively known as the Overseas Four Great Halls.

    They themselves don't agree with the concept of Cantonese people, but pay more attention to being Hakka people, Chaozhou people, just let them go! Except for these two regions, the rest are Cantonese people, and they all join the Cantonese Association when they go overseas. Also, for example, the Cantonese bag, which refers to the Cantonese bag, and the Chaozhou bag, Shanghai bag, etc. are at the same level.

    The word Guangfu was invented by netizens in the past ten years, and it should be mainly used by some people in Leizhou, Chaozhou, Hakka, and the vernacular people only agree with the vernacular, and slowly this title is becoming more and more common. Or what, forgot, there is also a contestant who said that he wants to carry forward the culture of Guangzhou Cantonese? I don't know if it means Guangzhou, I forgot.

    Phoenix Satellite TV said that Guangfu Water City Shunde, ATV mentioned Guangfu and so on.

    The word Canton turned out to be just another name for Guangzhou.

    The Cantonese people have not formed an internally unified sub-ethnic group like Hakka Chaozhou.
