    I speak Cantonese, which is why I find it really annoying that most movies comes out in manderin first, understandably so that the manderin market is much bigger, still...

    my first language was Cantonese but i wasn't born in Hong Kong or china. i was born in Vietnam and so were my parents and my grandma. my ancestor were from Guangdong, xing wu. so since i was born in Vietnam i have to learn Vietnamese for school. later on, i immigrate to US with my parents and and force to learn English. and as a school req. i have to learn another language which was Spanish and now in college, im learning mando and american sign language. so total of 6 languages and only 3 are Asian languages.

    Speak Cantonese, maybe weird here but find it such a beautiful language. born and raised in Europe to Chinese parents. Don´t speak it fluently but working hard to do in a a few years. but kind of hard when i don´t have anyone to practice on besides my parents.

    Speak Cantonese, but some of the terms sounds like Cantonese incorporated with Malay, I am from Malaysia originally, but resides in California for the past 30 + years. So Terms like : Coffee,Police,Stop,rain,Bazaar,Bread.....etc, are quite different, which most HK people would NOT understand.
