\tToday what I want to show you is the dialect of Yue<\/strong> (\u7ca4\u8bed yuèy\u01d4). Yue is a variety of Chinese spoken mostly in Guangdong<\/strong> (\u5e7f\u4e1c Gu\u01cengd\u014dng), Guangxi <\/strong>(\u5e7f\u897f Gu\u01cengx\u012b), Hong Kong <\/strong>(\u9999\u6e2f Xi\u0101ngg\u01ceng) and Macau <\/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 considerable Yue-speaking communities overseas in Southeast Asia, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and USA.<\/p>\n

\tYue 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 yuhtyúh<\/strong> (\u7ca4\u8bed yuèy\u01d4) or baahkwá<\/strong> (\u767d\u8bdd báihuà), which refers especially to the Guangzhou variety.<\/p>\n

\tThe pronunciation 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 pronunciation 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 reasonably unchanged.<\/p>\n

\tVarieties of Yue contain:
\tCantonese, Guangfu or Yuehai<\/strong> (\u7ca4\u6d77 Yuèh\u01cei), which involves the language of Guangzhou<\/strong> (\u5e7f\u5dde Gu\u01cengzh\u014du) as well as the surrounding locations of Zhongshan<\/strong> (\u4e2d\u5c71 Zh\u014dngsh\u0101n), Wuzhou<\/strong> (\u68a7\u5dde Wúzh\u014du), and Foshan<\/strong> (\u4f5b\u5c71 Fósh\u0101n), too as Hong Kong and Macau
\tSi-yi, that's spoken mainly in Guangdong. One particular subvariety of Seiyap<\/strong> (\u56db\u9091\u65b9\u8a00 Sìyì f\u0101ngyán), Taishanese<\/strong> (\u53f0\u5c71\u8bdd T\u0101ish\u0101nhuà), was the primary range spoken in Chinese communities while in the USA prior to about 1970.
\tGao–Yang, which is spoken in Yangjiang<\/strong> (\u9633\u6c5f Yángji\u0101ng)
\tWu–Hua, which is spoken mainly in western Guangdong
\tGou–Lou, which is spoken in western Guangdong and eastern Guangxi – includes the dialect of Yulin<\/strong> (\u7389\u6797 Yùlín), Guangxi
\tYong–Xun, which is spoken mainly in Guangxi and its capital Nanning<\/strong> (\u5357\u5b81 Nánníng)
\tQin–Lian, which is spoken in southern Guangxi – includes the Beihai<\/strong> (\u5317\u6d77 B\u011bih\u01cei) dialect
\tDanzhou, which includes the dialect of Changjiang<\/strong> (\u957f\u6c5f Chángji\u0101ng)
\tHaihua, which is spoken in Lianjiang <\/strong>(\u5ec9\u6c5f Liánji\u0101ng)<\/p>\n

\tAs Yue dialect is wildly spoken, if you know how to speak Yue that may help you to get a good job.
