How did the Chinese dialect come about? Why is it so complicated?

Because the area of our country is very large,The cultural customs of each place are different, so the dialects are naturally different, from south to north and from east to west, there are very rich, distinctive language and culture, but generally speaking, the dialects of the north are relatively unified, and the dialects of the southern provinces are different, and even each city and each village are a little different.

Many people know that Mandarin is now our official languageAlthough most young people can speak, but there are also many closed areas, the people in these places still can't speak Mandarin well, many people go to some cities in the south, and complain that the local people can't understand the accent of speech, in fact, this is very normal, after all, our country is so large, the dialect difference between the north and the south is naturally obviousIn general, if you can speak Mandarin, then it is generally not a problem to communicate between the northern provinces, especially the three eastern provinces, and Hebei, Henan, and Shandong dialects are just Mandarin, with an accent, it is still very easy to communicate.

And when I arrived in Jiangsu, it began to be different, although Jiangsu is neither north nor southHowever, the Suxichang dialect in Jiangsu is still difficult to understand, because these cities speak the Wu dialect, which is very similar to Shanghai and Zhejiang, can be described as good to listen to and not easy to understand,Even Nanjing can't understand the dialects of these cities in Jiangsu, while the dialects of Yancheng and Nantong in northern Jiangsu also have their own characteristicsIn Guangdong, although the influence of Cantonese is great, it is also limited to the Pearl River Delta region, and few people can understand Cantonese when they go out of Guangdong, and Hokkien is even more confusing, and in general, the southern dialect is really complicated.

Of course, there are a few,For example, although Chongqing in Sichuan is located in the southern region, the local dialect is spoken in the southwest, although the accent is very strong, but in general it is not difficult to understand, and the southwestern official dialect is also distributed in GuangxiIn Guangxi, there are also Cantonese and Zhuang languages, but now almost everyone speaks Mandarin, so there is no big problem in communicating with these southern provincesHowever, many children now can't speak dialects, which is also a phenomenon worthy of everyone's vigilance, after all, while learning Mandarin, we can't forget the culture and dialect of our hometown.

To put it simply, before the unification of Qin Shi Huang, there were many different countries, so the Chinese language was different.

Wu Guo Yue Guo produced Wu language, Min Yue country produced Min language, Cantonese language produced in Nanyue country, should be inherited from ancient history, such as South Korea Vietnam, if they use Chinese Chinese, it can also become a dialect, and if Cantonese uses pinyin characters, then Cantonese will develop into incomprehensible and not Chinese dialects....

Geographical isolation, self-development and ethnic integration. The evolution of the Chinese language is a microcosm of Chinese history. Hokkien (Jin language, Yiguan Nandu) - Chaoshan dialect (Tang language, Anshi Rebellion) - Cantonese (Southern Song Dynasty reclamation of Lingnan) - Hakka, Gan language (Song language, the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty) - Jianghuai official dialect, Southwest official dialect (Ming language, Ming Dynasty establishment, Jiangxi fill Huguang, Huguang fill Sichuan) - Mandarin, Northeast dialect (Qing language, Manchu people live in the Central Plains, break through the Guandong).

The vernacular is the language of Daqin, Hakka is the Chu Chinese dialect, Hokkien is the Zhao Chinese dialect, Wu is the Korean Chinese dialect, and some are of the Yan State and some are the Qi State.

Because China has a vast land area and a large population, the time for dialects to be formed is relatively long and complex, and the dialects of various places are not the same, north, south, east and west.

Chinese dialects are born in different geographical environments, different places have different dialects, and they are languages created by people in different regions for communication, and the reason why there is complexity is because the dialects of each place are different, and it may be a different dialect when you go over a mountain in a mountainous area, so it is very complicated.

Chinese dialects are the languages spoken by the Han people living in the Central Plains in ancient times, and have been developed over a long period of time and influenced by minority languages. There have been many migrations in China's history, so the dialects are very complex.

The geography is vast, and the traffic remained unchanged in ancient times. If you have caused a mountain, you may not be able to understand the other party's dialect. This is also said to be Chinese characteristics.

1. "Before the formation of dialects, did there be a unified official dialect between various places, and then due to the closed development of each country due to traffic, politics and other reasons, the dialect was formed".

1. It is derived from the primitive tribes, and it is born with it, such as the northerners call the southerners to speak the language of birds, and the barbarian land is native, such as adverbials, Tibetans, Mongolian ===; 2. It evolved from other languages, from the king of Zhou to divide the world, brought the language of Zhou to various places, and combined with various places to form a unique language, which is also a dialect.

2. Who determines what dialect we say here, for example, in a dialect, ang is pronounced an, and all the sounds of this sound are changed to this.

A: The formation of dialects is historical and regional, and it is not determined by anyone. In fact, Beijing Mandarin is regarded as a dialect, but after the country promoted Mandarin, it became the official language and became a Chinese.

3. The original official saying is good, why should it be changed?

Answer: China is a multi-ethnic country, the practice of regional ethnic autonomy, the state fully respect the customs of ethnic groups, among which dialect is a manifestation of national customs, so all local dialects will always exist.

How are regional and social dialects formed? What are their main differences?

Dialects are local variants of the national language, and the dialects have not severed all ties with each other, and their basic vocabulary and grammatical constructs are basically the same.

The development of society often leads to a further division of labor within society, so that the group of people in the same division of labor has the characteristics of a certain community in language communication, and produces language branches or language variants, which are social dialects. The development of society is often accompanied by the expansion or migration of the living area of the population, so that the language community that was originally the same language will gradually have a gap with the original language due to the change of the region, and the language variants between the regions have their own stability, and regional dialects will be produced. Dialectal differences are an important manifestation of the uneven evolution of languages, which refers to the difference in the rate of progress in different language communities.

Both regional dialects and social dialects are differentiated with social differentiation and are a concomitant phenomenon of social differentiation.

The main differences between the two are:

1) The scope is different.

The social dialect is a branch of the national language that adapts to the needs of the social division of labor, and is a social variant of the national language. The regional dialect is the branch of the national language produced in different regions, which is a reflection of the imbalance in language development in the region.

2) The internal differences are different.

The main differences between the regional dialects are phonetic, but also reflected in the lexical and grammatical systems, while the main differences between the social dialects are in the general vocabulary, phonetics, and grammar.

3) The development trend is different.

Regional dialects can develop into independent languages under certain conditions, or may disappear under the condition of a high degree of social unity and integration. Social dialects do not have their own basic vocabulary, phonetic system, and grammatical structure, and cannot develop into an independent language under any conditions.

What are the differences between regional dialects and kinship languages?

1) From the perspective of social differentiation, regional dialects are the result of incomplete regional differentiation in a single society; Kinship languages, on the other hand, are the result of the further intensification of the geographical differentiation of a single society and the complete differentiation of the family.

2) From the perspective of linguistic differentiation, regional dialects have gradually formed their own characteristics with the differentiation and development of common languages, but the neologisms and grammatical forms of regional dialects have considerable commonality with common languages. However, the words and grammatical forms in the kinship language continue to expand their own characteristics, and accelerate their differentiation and development in different directions, and finally form an independent language system.

Whether a linguistic differentiation results in the formation of different dialects or different kinship languages depends largely on the degree of social differentiation and whether the common language continues to exist.
