Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet. Sepcial Thanks to Jeremy :D The text was created by Shengman Lo Audios were created by 林易瑾 Native to: China, Taiwan Region: Mainland China: Northeastern Guangdong, adjoining regions of Fujian, Jiangxi, Southern Hunan and the midwest of Sichuan Hong Kong: New Territories (older generations since younger Hakkas mostly speak Cantonese due to language shift and social assimilation) Ethnicity: Hakka Native speakers 47.8 million (2007) Language family: Sino-Tibetan Hakka is a language group of varieties of Chinese, spoken natively by the Hakka people throughout Southern China and Taiwan and throughout the diaspora areas of East Asia, Southeast Asia and in overseas Chinese communities around the world. Due to its primary usage in scattered isolated regions where communication is limited to the local area, Hakka has developed numerous varieties or dialects, spoken in different provinces, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou, as well as in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Hakka is not mutually intelligible with Yue, Wu, Southern Min, Mandarin or other branches of Chinese, and itself contains a few mutually unintelligible varieties. It is most closely related to Gan and is sometimes classified as a variety of Gan, with a few northern Hakka varieties even being partially mutually intelligible with southern Gan. There is also a possibility that the similarities are just a result of shared areal features. Please feel free to subscribe to see more of this. I hope you have a great day! Stay happy!
