Dialect and economy, why do people love to speak dialects the more economically developed cities are

The number of dialects in a country should have something to do with the quality of the country's economy. This relationship is that there are many dialects and the economy is backward; There are few dialects and the economy is developed. This is also the significance of China's vigorous promotion of Mandarin.

The division of dialects has hindered economic development to varying degrees. Language is a tool, and if there are so many kinds of tools, it will definitely not be easy to use. See such an example in the newspaper.

When China FAW invests in a factory, it needs to negotiate with the gas company where the plant site is located to coordinate the technical issues of gas pipeline connection. The engineers of the gas company who participated in the negotiation did not speak Mandarin, and the staff of the ** department involved in the negotiation were not proficient in Mandarin. FAW engineers often can't understand what the gas engineers say, and the **** present doesn't understand professional technology, and they can't accurately translate the dialect into Mandarin.

So the gas engineer had to face to face with a pen instead of a mouth, and had a written communication with the FAW engineer, so that the **** was "cold" aside.

Think about how smooth it would be if everyone could use Mandarin, the common language of our Han people!

There is no direct relationship, but multilingualism and culture are positive for the long-term development of a region.

In addition, there is no clear boundary between language and dialect, and the major dialects of Chinese, such as Mandarin, Wu, Min, Cantonese, Hakka, etc., are generally regarded as independent languages under the Chinese family abroad, but are considered dialects in China.

The southeast coastal region is currently the most economically developed and dynamic region in China, and this region is also the region with the most complex Chinese dialects.

It doesn't have much to do with it, but it has to do with culture.

When Shanghainese speak Shanghainese, they will say, "Oh, there's a countryman again." Beijingers say in a Beijing accent that you are a foreigner. Now if you go to Shanghai and Beijing, the kind of people who look down on outsiders and the countrymen who speak authentic Shanghainese Beijing dialect have greatly decreased.

Sometimes, if you go for a few days, you may not have heard of it.

Why? The main reason is that Shanghai and Beijing have developed rapidly in recent years, and their populations have also grown rapidly. However, this increase is not mainly due to the contribution of natives born and raised in Shanghai and Beijing, but also by the foreign population.

In this way, the proportion of locals has become smaller and smaller, and outsiders have become the mainstream. Language is a thing that goes with the flow, and when the people who speak the local dialect gradually become a minority, speaking the local dialect no longer feels honored.

Another reason is the need for economic development and tourism. In recent years, the whole country has developed, and more and more people have gone to developed areas to do business and travel, and these Shanghainese and Beijingers also want to make more money. How to make the guests satisfied and send money next time?

As a result, those Shanghainese who used to speak the Shanghai dialect and thought they were superior to others had to obediently practice Mandarin.

With the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, not only will Mandarin become the mainstream, dialects will decrease, but also more people will know English.

Oppose. In the more economically developed cities, the penetration and use of Mandarin is higher, and the use of dialects is less.

You don't see that there are already many places calling for the protection of dialects, and there are many children in Shanghai who can't speak Shanghainese. Even dialects with a high degree of popularity and a large number of speakers, such as Cantonese and even Sichuan, are facing the disappearance of a large number of distinctive local dialect words.

The more developed the economy and the larger the foreign population, the more necessary it is to use a unified Mandarin, which is an inevitable requirement for economic efficiency. An obvious example is that in big cities** and restaurants, the waiters all speak Mandarin, while in small cities, dialects are basically used. Whether it is Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen or provincial capitals, Mandarin is a stronger language than other places.

There are two factors that cause the illusion that people in economically developed cities like to speak in tongues.

Clause. 1. Many people will encounter problems because of the language barrier when living in other places, and unfortunately you have been troubled by this. People are always impressed by bad things, and even once they were bitten by a snake for ten years, they were afraid of the well rope. I still remember one time when I was a volunteer in Shanghai, I met a big brother who spoke Shanghainese, and I was in a fog.

Many people have had this experience, and the stereotype formed by hearing others say the same thing, and then there will be a conclusion similar to that Shanghainese people like to speak Shanghainese.

Clause. 2. Everyone is accustomed to speaking dialects in their hometown, but unfortunately you go to someone else's hometown, go to an economically developed city, and become that out-of-town. In other words, it is not that people in economically developed cities prefer to speak dialects, but that people in each place are accustomed to speaking dialects locally, regardless of the degree of economic development. I don't believe that Shanghainese people will speak Shanghainese to the aunt who sells copyists when they go to Sichuan, and Trump will teach him to be a man every minute.

So, think about going home every year for the Chinese New Year, whether you are speaking dialect or Mandarin, and the answer is obvious.

Finally, in fact, the dialects of many parts of the country have disappeared very quickly, and Guangzhou has begun to call for the protection of the Cantonese language. As far as I'm concerned, there are many dialect words that I don't use, and perhaps what is even more worrying is that the local pronunciation is no longer there.

In an economically developed city, people are proud to be "locals". Therefore, the local people have a strong sense of existence, and they psychologically think that their things are good, such as the local way of life, local dialect, local customs, and so on.

Dialects are the primary means of proving where a person belongs. If a Chinese person went to the United States as a child and speaks English particularly fluently, but Chinese is a mess, then we may not think that he is Chinese. Therefore, dialect is the best reflection of a person's hometown.

In Shanghai, even though there are a large number of outsiders working hard in Shanghai, and even many foreigners, the locals never change their dialect. Even if outsiders don't understand their words, they prefer to speak them several times, using both hands and feet, rather than communicating with others in Mandarin because they think their language is appropriate and fluent.

In economically developed cities, locals will find their city attractive, so they will continue to promote their local characteristics, the most important feature is of course the dialect. This logic is extremely helpful for the development and inheritance of dialects, and it is also a good phenomenon.

In fact, there are very deep-seated reasons for this, which can be analyzed from the following aspects.

1.The more developed the economy is, the more local people have the right to speak, and it is said that the economic base determines the superstructure, which is not wrong, and it is the same in the entire social structure. The so-called superstructure refers to the sum of social ideology, social class levels, etc.

Once the economy of a place is more developed, then the local people are in a stronger voice, which will have a negative impact on those outsiders who do not speak dialects, after a long time, even if they can't understand, they can't always speak their hometown, they can only speak dialects. Over time, everyone will develop the habit of dialect.

2.The more economically developed the place, the stronger the ability of the local culture to assimilate. Think about it, the more economically developed the first-tier cities, the more they can attract people from other places.

However, there are very few local people who go to other places, which forms a very distinct local culture. The more places like this, the more social labels can be displayed by the natives speaking in dialects. If you come from a small county town with tens of thousands of people, and there are not many people who speak your dialect, you may not have the opportunity to speak it even if you want to speak it in other places.

This is very normal, the general dialect-speaking cities are super large cities with a long history, unique culture, and profound accumulation, these cities have developed transportation, economy and commerce are very active, once people enter these cities, it is easy to integrate and assimilate with the city; For example, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Xi'an, Shanghai, etc., except for Beijing, of course, because Beijing itself is a Mandarin region, although there are a few dialects, but it is not much different from Mandarin and can be ignored.

Then you are wrong, I have been in Shanghai for many years, and all the normal communication of people born in the 70s in Shanghai is Mandarin, and more than half of the post-80s Shanghainese are not standard. Half of the post-90s generation do not speak Shanghainese. After 00, many people who want to speak Shanghainese have to go to training institutions to learn.

On the contrary, the more economically backward the area, the less Mandarin is popularized. Especially in the southwest, many people don't speak Mandarin.

Learn a few more dialects, it's quite interesting, it's not easy to be deceived when you go out, in the south, in less than a month to Sichuan, you will be assimilated into Sichuan dialect, and then the Xinyang dialect in Henan is replaced by a sub-tone and a small number of words is basically Wuhan dialect, Yunnan-Guizhou and Jianghan Plain dialects are relatively unified, so master the authentic Henan dialect, Henan East and Anhui North dialect, Luoyang dialect, Xinyang dialect, Wuhan dialect, Xiaogan dialect, Hefei dialect, Chengdu dialect, Chongqing dialect These dialects that are not too difficult to learn are good, and it is quite convenient to go out to Hebei in the north and do not speak Mandarin, If it's too cheap, he won't understand, so he will curse and can't communicate in Mandarin.

Luanping, Hebei Province, is the poorest place in the Han region. It is not reasonable to use this kind of language as Mandarin, and there is only one way. Wu and Cantonese should be added as Mandarin language promotion.

Hakka dialect and Hokkien dialect can also be added to the Mandarin ranks if the conditions are ripe. **Documents and external use of Luanping dialect.

I feel that it should be the opposite, the more economically developed the city, the more dynamic it is, and the more new people from other regions, each with different dialects, needs Mandarin (whether standard or not) for communication. In economically underdeveloped areas, where the foreign population is small, dialects are generally more marketable.

In fact, the more impoverished and backward areas are, the more dialects are spoken, and the higher the Mandarin penetration rate in developed areas. If you don't believe it, if you go to Su Xichang and Shanghai, children below elementary school basically can't speak dialects. There's no way there are too many outsiders, and if you speak in tongues to them, on the one hand they don't understand them, and on the other hand they think it's disrespectful to them.

Every city and rural place where people get together, people like to speak their own local dialect, smooth, barrier-free, convenient, can express their own inner words very well.

Dialects can be said As long as others can understand Insist on yourself Let others adapt to you Cantonese as a spoken language is the same as all local dialects No one forbids it To say that the state prohibits it is a false accusation The written text must not be confused The ancient books of 5,000 years of civilization can definitely prove the inheritance of Chinese civilization in the corresponding words of Mandarin If the pronunciation of dialects is used everywhere, it will be a devastating chaos of Chinese civilization and culture It makes sense to ask for Mandarin in the classroom The sound of Mandarin can exactly correspond to the Chinese characters and words.

Oral dialect as an oral language inheritance The state absolutely supports it If the handwriting system is used in different parts of the country, it is absolutely a cultural destruction Except for the Warring States Period, there has never been such confusion in the writing of Cantonese people in China after the Warring States period.

Sent from my Huawei phone.

Times have changed, and now China's development is very balanced, and no one in any province feels that they are superior. In the 80s, who spoke Hong Kong Cantonese felt very superior, and now I think it is a bit silly to speak Cantonese in public.

It's a sign of self-confidence. Many people in economically underdeveloped areas do not dare to speak in tongues because they show that they are self-cultivated and highly educated, and they are afraid that others will feel dirty when they speak in tongues.

Because of pride, such as Shanghai, speaking Shanghainese is superior!

On the contrary, the more economically developed the region, the more powerful the Putonghua is promoted, and many regional exchanges are applicable to Mandarin, and the dialect is only communicated at home, and how to speak the dialect is also the mother tongue of a region.

Because in economically underdeveloped places, people speak in tongues and no one cares.

It's not good to speak in tongues! Protect your culture! Passed on! The dialect is ancient Chinese.

A false proposition, southerners love to speak dialects, it happens that the economy of the south is more developed than the north, one day the south declines and the north rises, and southerners like to speak dialects.

Confident and influential, this is why Chinese desperately learn English but rarely learn Vietnamese.

I hate that I speak Mandarin to him, he speaks in dialects, I have to try to prick up my ears and listen carefully to what he is saying, because people who are not in a city really don't understand too much, they can only listen carefully, if everyone communicates in the dialect of their hometown in the future, then they can't understand anything, I respect you, use Mandarin, please also respect me, I'm afraid that you can't understand my dialect.

That is: xenophobia. If the outsiders were gone, they would all starve to death in less than a week.
