    Well, I can speak primarily Cantonese. But technically speaking, I'm suppose to know how to speak Toisanese and Shanghainese...but it's because I don't practice those dialects at home on a regular basis and we normally speak Cantonese or English at home. I wouldn't mind learning the basics for the 2 dialects that I don't speak (now). That way I wouldn't lose that part of the heritage in me.
