    So the part in quotation marks is inaccurate? 🤷🏽‍♂️ Can you find me a #Mandarin link (esp. video) with her exact quote?

  4. Back in the 1990s I learned Mandarin Chinese. My progress was adequate although being in your forties is a little old to begin. Life intervened and I had to abandon it. Now watching #cdrama I feel as if I am just on the cusp of understanding. I think I'll try again, start with revising vocabulary and then focus on listening. Many online resources now. Can anyone recommend any? #languagelearning #mandarin #chinese

  13. Chinas Einheitsgesetz - Mehr Mandarin, weniger Vielfalt

    China bezeichnet sich als Vielvölkerstaat – ein neues Gesetz treibt aber nationale Einheit und die Angleichung der Ethnien voran. Das plant Peking.#Han-Chinesen #Tibeter #Mandarin
    56 anerkannte Ethnien gibt es in China - jetzt sollen sich alle an eine Kultur anpassen

    There are clear historical reasons why #Cantonese was previously the only & still is the primary Chinese language spoken in SF Chinatown & in Chinese communities around the world.

    Fact is, Cantonese as a language is older than #Mandarin.

    Cantonese can trace its roots in southern China in Guangdong back 2000 years ago, while Mandarin only came into use in northern China about 1000 ye ago when the Mongols conquered China & established Beijing as its capital.

    Cantonese is still in use in China, despite Mandarin being adopted as the "official" language of China in 1955.

    And, until very recently almost all Chinese who immigrated from China came from southern China & spoke only Cantonese

    It was theae people who founded the Chinese communities in the US & around the world & almost every person of Chinese origin living outside of China can trace their roots to them.

    So, it is neither funny nor surprising that Cantonese is still spoken in SF Chinatown & in Chinese cimmunities around the world.
