What Chinese dialect do you speak?

canto and hakka

 

canto only.. born and raised in australia... so it's not the best canto either.. lol

 

I SPEAK TAISHANESE !! ^_^
But I can understand and speak Cantonese too (just from TVB and HK movies that I watch). =) It's Taishan at home and Cantonese and/or English at school with my friends. xP
Both my parents were from Taishan but they're from a different part in Taishan. HAHA So there are a couple of words that they say differently. Like chopsticks, my dad says "fai doo" and my mom says "fai gee". xD

 

it seems like ppl speak canto more than mandarin but ppl say mandarin is the main dialect and is spoken more often

btw i speak canto, i know a few words in mandarin

 

I speak Taishanese at home and Cantonese to my friends. I'm an ABC, so I have those moments where I confuse both languages and my friends ask me what am i saying.

 

i speak chiu chow wah and am trying to lean canto and mando.

 

My first language is Cantonese, i speak with to the family (mainly the adults) since all the 'kids' (my brother and cousins who were born in NZ too) know English fluently.

 

i am a linguist.

hmm...lets see...i speak hokkien (mother tongue), cantonese and mandarin...learn cantonese from speaking with my friends and mandarin from listening to mandaring songs!

 

1.Taishanese
2.Cantonese
3.Mandarin
But I'm pretty terrible at all of then so i call myself chinglish (mixing chinese with english words)

 

I can speak mandarin, and when I was little Shan Dong hua. I also understand most of Tai yuan hua, shan xi hua, and yun cheng hua. Mostly northern dialects. I know a little canto as well, but it is so bad it is embarrassing.

 

Ummm im not sure what part of china my granparents come from... but they moved to hk and then my parents moved to canada and stuff.. i speak canto fluently and some mando ... i used to suck at mando but after watching alot of taiwanese/mando drama i got pretty good.. at least i understand morexD

 

canto and some mandarin here. of course, can't forget about the "chinglish" lol

 

I know cantonese. I guess that's not bad since I was born in the US xD. I can understand a little mandarin if you say it really slow.
