Mandarin is the result of Mongolian and Manchurian conquest of China. So are the many sub-dialects of Mandarin. Mandarin refers to what is now understood as "communicative Chinese," with a Peking accent, and a vocabulary and grammar largely shared by people speaking different Chinese dialects. All dialects are equal, with their respective cultural implications. No such thing as "standard Chinese," which presupposes some non-standard dialects. In many ways southern dialects are much closer to the original Chinese language. I assume different Chinese dialects were originally different languages, and they have been forced into one language since the Chin Dynasty. This language covers many dialects and numerous sub-dialects. In China you won't be surprised to travel for a couple of hour to feel the change and difference of accents. 4 (actually 5) tones for Mandarin, 7 tones for Shanghaiese (not ShanghaiNess), and 9 tones for Cantonese.
I am Rongmei Naga from Manipur, India. According to our legends and folklores, our people were migrated from yunan province China during the reign of Tsi- Huang- Di.(300-221 BCE).our forefathers were Hoi or Hemai. Rongmei ancestors once settled in " Mahou Taubei" ( Minhau in Chinese). The probable reason for their migration is believed to be forced labors and floods.

If Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are separate languages in a single family, how can it be controversial to say that the different "dialects" of Chinese are actually closely related separate languages in a Chinese language family? We may as well say, conversely, that Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italians, Romanians, Corsicans, all speak different dialects of Latin.
Almost 2 minutes of talking about Han Chinese and negligible amount of time for the other 3 ethnicities but you put 56 ethnicities on your video. The definition of clickbait.
In the USA us European Americans generally stereotype East Asians, which includes Southeast Asia as short when it comes to height. In my area of South central Pennsylvania, the Asian population from the east area of Asia are a significant majority from southeast Asia with most Vietnamese and a good percentage are Cambodian as well. They have mostly darker skin than us European Americans and are noticeably shorter in height, especially with their senior citizen population, but I have to admit that their younger generation is closing the gap in average height when compared to European Americans. But when I go to airports or very popular vacation destinations that alot of foreigners like to visit, pre pandemic, we use to get many Chinese people, especially from the northern regions of China pre pandemic in the USA for a vacation or business trip. These Chinese seem to be on average just as white in skin color or very close to as white in skin color as us European Americans and I noticed that they are usually tall even for their older senior citizen aged population and IMO are on average taller, and with their younger adult population noticeably taller on average than us European Americans in the USA and they can stereotype us European Americans as short and they probably do but probably stereotype us as more fat than short because us European Americans are on average much more overweight and obese than we are short. But back to the subject of these tall Chinese and guessing that they are a majority Han Chinese, it seems like 6'0" are taller men are everywhere with these Chinese and 5'7" or taller are everywhere with Chinese women from their northern provinces and us European Americans if we run into these Chinese alot would stereotype Asians as tall, which is the opposite experience us European Americans have for a majority of other East Asian populations, especially with the Southeast Asian populations.
Chinese poeople have blood other than ancient east Asians, which is predominantly found in southeast Asian today. Chinese ancestors migrated from west and central Asia, they were Sumerian, Akkadian, Tocharian... modern Chinese are mixed but genetically a whole different from other east Asian countries.
No they can't the hung didn't come until the last century and their hodgepodge of people mixture between Korean Japanese and Chinese they came out of War if you knew anything of History you would know of a beautiful woman I should put every pictures job he fight against Dr Sunset send my name for him and communism to preserve the 50 tribes of China Manchu being one of the biggest the Mao one of the oldest they just found books that were in the northern Shaolin Temple before it was pillaged with the cultural revolution that are estimated to be at over 5,000 years old and it's about the Advent of civilization and the first Dynasty so most people can't interpretate the books it's 13 phonics of traditional Manchu your history is very wrong but then of course it's the Western culture telling the Chinese story tired of that we've been around for a long long long long long long time even on these shorts and the other bigger tribe is the Xide all people come from these three tribes in China and the aborigine people were said to have when the original map of mujang Australia North America and China were one continent then the Divide so there's more to this story I'm so tired of his story it's time for the women to rise we carry and pass on genetic memory it's about accessing it and not a past life although a long long long long history DNA descendants and ancestors RNA related and ancients these books are written by them the creators of this world mujang means middle world that was what China was called before became China in 1912
Ancient Chinese = Han people 漢人. Traditional Chinese culture = Han culture 漢文化. (After 1949, people in China (including non -Han people) have given Chinese ID cards. However, the identity card is "ethnic groups". The Mongolian is called "Mongolian ethnic ". The Manchu people are called "Manchu ethnic". The Manchu people are almost mixed with the Han nationality. China now has 56 ethnic groups. Now the Han population accounts for 90%) In ancient China. Non -Han and Mongolians and Mongolians were only 1% in China (99% han people). In history, they were not called the Chinese (including non -Han people). They were called barbarians by the Han people.
In ancient times, barbarian was who spoke a strange language, a non-understandble language. The same in the ancient greek and roman civilizations. Then the word has no negative sense, whereas nowadays do.
anyone else hate how cantonese speakers always drop english words into their sentences. On purpose just cos it's supposedly "cool". lmao. as an asian that grew up in a western country, and is fluent in english, it just sounds stupid. I wish people would just use cantonese words instead of dotting english words around. Perpetuating internalised racism tbh. I swear it's only cantonese speakers that do this, and usually ones from british ruled hong kong. lmfao
One thing they should be respected is for their denunciation of prejudiced Gods by those who travelled to India. They carried over to China only those that contributed to a fair society. Through their good works temples like Ankur Wat in Cambodia came to be seen as cult worship and were terminated due to an educated society.
China recently bans teaching of the languages of the minority ethnics such as Uyghur, Mongolian, Tibetan and Korean, to their young generations in China. Only Chinese language is allowed. Now, China sees them as Han's enemies.
When the World thinks of China, we all think of the Han Chinese due to depictions, Who knew they were so many variations and cultures and all look so different.
The confusion of han is by created by they modern state of China for the sake a unity . Unfortunately there is ethnic discrimination which push people to assimilate of the past century .
Just to let you know we do not call ourselves Han but Tang(Hong ngin) people and the Mandarin dialect is only appeared in recent history. Cantonese, Hokkien, etc are much older than Mandarin
-> Interested in ethnic groups in China -> Clicks on video titled "Chinese Ethnic Groups - The Different Ethnic Groups of China (and Their Cultures)" -> The video is very short and contains little information -> The video : "Do your own research" Thanks for nothing I guess
To me, they shouldn't be called Dialects, but languages... Lolikon? 2:22 It sounds like she is saying the English Words, with Japanese Concepts thrown in. Shanghainese sounds like a proto-Korean or proto-Japanese with the Wa, Ga. Is it SOV by any chance?
