Today what I want to show you is <\/span>the dialect of Yue<\/strong> <\/span>(\u7ca4\u8bed yuèy\u01d4). Yue is a variety of Chinese spoken mostly in <\/span>Guangdong<\/strong> <\/span>(\u5e7f\u4e1c Gu\u01cengd\u014dng), <\/span>Guangxi <\/span><\/strong>(\u5e7f\u897f Gu\u01cengx\u012b),Hong Kong <\/span><\/strong>(\u9999\u6e2f Xi\u0101ngg\u01ceng) and <\/span>Macau <\/span><\/strong>(\u6fb3\u95e8 Aomén). You can also find significant Yue-speaking communities overseas in Southeast Asia, Canada, Australia, the United kingdom and USA. There are also co<\/em>nsiderable Yue-speaking communities overseas in Southeast Asia, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and USA.<\/p>\n

Yue is also referred to Cantonese, which may refer to the Yue varieties of Chinese being a whole. In Guangdong and Guanxi people typically call their language <\/span>yuhtyúh<\/strong> <\/span>(\u7ca4\u8bed yuèy\u01d4) or <\/span>baahkwá<\/strong> <\/span>(\u767d\u8bdd báihuà), which refers especially to the Guangzhou variety.<\/p>\n

The pro<\/em>nunciation of Yue is thought to be closer to that of older forms of Chinese, specifically that of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), than Mandarin, as is some of its grammar. For instance, several old poems that do rhyme when read with Yue pro<\/em>nunciation do not rhyme in Mandarin pronunciation. It is believed that officials and other folks who had been exiled or migrated to southern China for the duration of the Tang Dynasty brought their assortment of Chinese with them to Guangdong. As a result of the southern region’s relative remoteness and the lack of efficient communications and transport, the Tang selection survived reaso<\/em>nably unchanged.<\/p>\n

Varieties of Yue contain:
Cantonese, Guangfu or <\/span>Yuehai<\/strong> <\/span>(\u7ca4\u6d77 Yuèh\u01cei), which involves the language ofGuangzhou<\/strong> <\/span>(\u5e7f\u5dde Gu\u01cengzh\u014du) as well as the surrounding locations of <\/span>Zhongshan<\/strong> <\/span>(\u4e2d\u5c71 Zh\u014dngsh\u0101n), <\/span>Wuzhou<\/strong> <\/span>(\u68a7\u5dde Wúzh\u014du), and <\/span>Foshan<\/strong> <\/span>(\u4f5b\u5c71 Fósh\u0101n), too as Hong Kong and Macau
Si-yi, that’s spoken mainly in Guangdong. One particular subvariety of <\/span>Seiyap<\/strong> <\/span>(\u56db\u9091\u65b9\u8a00 Sìyì f\u0101ngyán), <\/span>Taishanese<\/strong> <\/span>(\u53f0\u5c71\u8bdd T\u0101ish\u0101nhuà), was the primary range spoken in Chinese communities while in the USA prior to a<\/em>bout 1970.
