 | | Standard Cantonese is the official Chinese spoken language of Hong Kong and Macau, and a prestige dialect and lingua franca in Guangdong province and some neighbouring areas. | | | As more and different kinds of Chinese emigrate, however, the situation is now changing, so that Min (Hokkien, or Fujianese dialect speakers) and Wu dialect speakers are also now heard, as well as Mandarin in increasing numbers from Taiwanese and Northern mainland immigrants. | | | The written word for "to be" is 是 in spoken Mandarin (pronounced shì) but is 係 in spoken Cantonese (pronounced hai6 in Cantonese, xì in Mandarin). |

| | Btw, many Teochews and Hakkas are regarded as "Cantonese" although these people aren't by origin..the reason is that because many of them like yourself don't speak the Teochew or Hakka language but are assimilated into the greater Cantonese culture and only speak that dialect. | | | Most Teochew restaurants serve both Cantonese and Teochew dishes. | | | Their restuarants are bigger, serve better food and have more variety than the Cantonese owned restaurants. |

| | This book is a great addition to any Chinese cookbook library because Cantonese cuisine is so distinctive for its elegantly simple flavors and sauces, a wonderful contrast to the more complex, sophisticated cuisines of Shanghai or Beijing. | | | If you are serious about Chinese cuisine, this book and the others by Wei-chuan are the best you can buy in the English language. | | | For example, you will not find, as in other, less authentic cookbook recipes, peanut butter being substituted for sesame paste. |

| | Guangdong government produces romanisation systems for four languages, namely (Standard) Cantonese, Teochew, Hakka (Moiyen dialect) and Hainanese. | | | On one hand, Teochew can be mutually intelligible with Hokkien, and on the other hand, Teochew is regarded as a seperate language, and overseas Teochews in Southeast Asia have communities distinct from the Hokkien communities. | | | I think the Hokkien pronouncation should be used, since in the Taiwanese (linguistics) they use the Peh Oe ji, which is meant for Min-nan, not tentatively only for Hokkian. |
