Hokkien is a dying language. More people should learn it from their parents & speak it. Most Fil-Chi s like to tell non-hokkien speakers that they speak taiwanese but it’s not the same! Tell them we speak hokkien. Let’s revive this language & make it commin again! Great video btw..
No it's not. It is widely spoken by Singaporean chinese, Malaysian chinese. and indonesian chinese like myself (im chn indo American actually). Hokkien spoken in Chinese Indonesian is very similar to those spoken by Chn Vietnamese.
I'm Hokkien speaker, it sounds like Quanzhou accent Hokkien in the video, if I was right? So happy to hear someone is trying to learn the dying Hokkien language, especially in Quanzhou accent, really rare. The most spoken and popular Hokkien is more leaned to Zhangzhou accent, the words, tones, vocabularies, between Quanzhou and Zhangzhou are quite distinct, like in Quanzhou accent sounds like the tone is going up in the end while Zhangzhou is down, the pitch of words opposite to Zhangzhou usually, etc. Anyway, you guys are getting there, keep on practicing! Even though I don't have the environment to speak my mother language now, but it's such a precious heritage to me, it's my identity and I won't never forget it .
This is actually very helpful! I agree on learning just from hearing it over and over. I feel like I'm gonna watch this on repeat hahaha I'm half-Chinese too, I understand hokkien but I'm a little down on speaking, hopefully I'll be able to speak it better overtime

Hi Jason. Really appreciate you watching our video and taking the time to write such an encouraging comment.

Wow .. Cool, it's easier to understand hokkien than mandarin and cantonese, I studied cantonese for about 3 years but I'm still having a hard time speaking and understanding, .. 5 months of studying mandarin. Then I didn't study hokkien but I can understand then it made it even easier for me to understand hokkien because of your cool Tagalog accent (BTW I'm also Filipino haha)
At least they tried to speak basic Hokkien maybe better than Singapore younger generation from Hokkien families. SG lost generation speaking Singlish, rojak Mandarin and sadly can't speak their grandparents Hokkien dialect. I think its time SG start a campaign to improve their Mandarin and dialects.
Hope you pass this ancient tongue to your kids too. I am a Hokkien-Filipino too and our language and culture is rapidly declining and dying. We may be one of the few last speakers of Filipino Hokkien. Uwe lanlang gina boe hiao kong lanlang oe lo. Keep it alive with your kids. :)
Wow! Gua si huilipin lang, chin to shia for tsi-ge video about hokkian ue. Lan tioh kay-promote tsi-ge precious-e language kap masi ka gun-e mga ginna tsi-ge language din. Good job! 😊
Jin hou! (very good!). I'm a third generation Burmese Chinese. Both my maternal and paternal grandparents were from Quanzhou area. My wife is from Taiwan so I get to practice my Hokkien time to time. 😀
This is hilarious. But you know what, guys, it's really a good thing to try to speak in your native tongue despite the fact that you may not have been using it on a daily basis. You are actually setting an example to many of our young Chinoys here in the Philippines, to appreciate their roots and never forget their native tongue. I give you a thumbs up for this video, although this was made over two years ago.👍
yes - great ... it would help me , for sure , if the Hokkien was written out? So few apps , like Google Translate will recognize Hokkien and thus type it out for us. Great work! I'm in Davao... and spent lots of time in Penang and Singapore.. here, at the Chinese temple i live in many guests from Davao speak only Minnan, or Hokkien including the resident monk from Putian province.. ok , he also speaks Fujian/Putian. ... and Mandarin.
actually i was able to grasp your mixed hokkien, english, taglish conversation...may nahalu pang one or two Hua-yi😁...you do have a bit of non-chinese accent😄
It’s awesome to see how people from different cultures pronounce the language, some words are different but my malaysian ears understood most of the words hahaha
great video. fascinated there are many who want to sustain this dying language. just add some exhalation to the "chi" of chi bai, it kind of sounded like that body part ✌😁
Hokkien here all the way from Warzone Basilan but currently here in Davao. I miss speaking this language so much one time I went to some hardware downtown to buy screws just to speak this
Beautiful video..... Your Hokkien sounds very much closer to Taiwanese Hokkien.... lovely... Its very much different as compared to our Malaysian Hokkien. And even in Malaysia, there are also some different accent between the Nothern and Souuthern Malaysia... Thank you for sharing. Kam xia, Salamat...
@@EarlandFrances don't worry. Frances' accent is native. my atsi has the same accent as Frances. it's called the "lan-nang-khiu~". Earl's accent tho is the non-native "huan-a-khiu~", but don't worry, this is the situation we have and its very common in the younger generations to have huana-khiu~. i also have it, but we just make sure we try to copy the ones with the more native lannang-khiu~ to improve ourselves because many young gen Z and millennials like us didnt try as much as kids.
@@EarlandFrances i learned very quickly that despite its 'dying' status, hokkien is a living language that absorbs input in its environment. So depending where we from, we might use diff terms. I spoke to a hokkien speaker from sarawak and he didn't understand some terms i used (since i learn singapore vers as literally no one in my family speaks it except elders) so its truly a treat to see another variation of this, blessings to you both❤️
There was war against Hokkien language in Taiwan starting in 1949, then in Singapore in 1979 followed by Malaysia in 1980s. The shameful thing is the war was waged by Chinese themselves.
Start them young! Always talk to your kids in Hokkien. Ignore them if they don't reply in Hokkien. After a few months, they will develop the habit of talking with you in Hokkien. Actually they do that during Taiwan study tours to train 'problem kids' to be fluent in Mandarin during the late 1970's and early 80's. Each student stays in a Mandarin speaking family, in a week's time, the kid become familiar with the language, use chopsticks in all meals including breakfast, all media was in Mandarin. By the end of the month, the kid is very fluent in Mandarin. When he comes back, he don't have problems in Chinese lessons.

I can slightly understand what you talked with subtitles. I got along with hokkien ppino before. The accent is totally different from Taiwanese, I think it’s affected by cebuano or Tagalog.
the influence from local ph languages is minimal, because the ones that still speak hokkien are more conservative families. the ones who aren't, just won't speak it at all. its mostly because ph hokkien is mostly descended from Quanzhou Hokkien, while most taiwanese hokkien varieties across taiwan are mostly descended from Zhangzhou Hokkien, except maybe northern taiwan, but northern taiwan mostly speaks mandarin now. southern and central taiwan speaks more hokkien, but their hokkien descends from Zhangzhou hokkien, so it will really sound different.
@@anthonymonga8576 his family came from taiwan? perhaps his family came from the part of taiwan that also descends from quanzhou hokkien such as in Lukang and northern taiwan. Most other chinese filipinos have ancestors coming from mostly Quanzhou or xiamen then a few from zhangzhou
@@zeusssie6203 actually I studied in Chinese school so most of my friends and colleagues are tsinoy everyday i communicate with them i use hokkien and some mandarin
@@EarlandFrances Yeah that's where I heard people used this term meaning our people's language. I've been introduced to many variants of Hokkien but the Filipino Hokkien dialect can hardly be found. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing this valuable clip to public!!
In fact, the Fujian people are not Chinese or Han at all. Not only were they discriminated against by the Chinese, they were also eliminated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the mouths of northerners, the Fujian people were southern barbarians, and the Fujian people's writing was basically wiped out. In ancient times, primitive people lived in Fujian. Due to the isolation of mountains and rivers, they had almost no contact with the outside world. In ancient classics, the earliest record about Fujian appears in "Zhou Li Xia Guan": "Distinguish its states, countries, capitals, Bi, Si Yi, Ba Man, Qi Min, Jiu Raccoon, Wu Rong, and Liu Di people .” "Qi Min" refers to the seven primitive tribes living in Fujian. "The Rites of Zhou" juxtaposes Fujian with Yi, barbarians, and raccoon dogs, which is Chinese people's discrimination against surrounding ethnic groups. However, it also reflects from the side that Fujian has not yet been "civilized" and lacks communication with the Central Plains. In ancient Chinese, the word "Min" originally referred to a long snake, and most of the primitive tribes of Fujian believed in the snake god. Fujian people are not a Chinese nation at all. Fujian people are a different ethnic group that are discriminated against by Chinese people. Until the Warring States Period, the once powerful Yue State was wiped out by the Chu State. A group of Yue people did not want to surrender to the Chu State, so they migrated to Fujian. They brought advanced culture and production technology, integrated with the local Fujian people, and established the Minyue State in Fujian, which was the first political power in Fujian. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he launched a large-scale war to conquer Baiyue in the south. He eventually incorporated Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian into the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, and established Minzhong County in Fujian. However, the Qin Dynasty did not directly administer Fujian. Instead, it was managed by the Minyue leader Wu Zhu (a descendant of Gou Jian), and Minzhong County enjoyed a high degree of autonomy. In the conflict between Chu and Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Wu Zhu sided with Liu Bang and assisted Liu Bang militarily, thus gaining the trust of the Western Han Dynasty. Under Wu Zhu's diligent rule, in the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the Minyue Kingdom was restored, with Yecheng as its capital, which is today's Fuzhou. The Minyue Kingdom continued to grow and develop, causing concern in the Western Han Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, he sent Zhu Maichen to destroy the Minyue Kingdom, which was openly anti-Han. The Minyue Kingdom enjoyed a 92-year reign. From a historical perspective, the Fujian people were opposed to the Han regime and were eventually wiped out. During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchus invaded, and Fujianese people were also severely exiled overseas. Now many guilds in ASEAN countries are mostly people from southern Fujian, Guangdong, etc. During the period when the CCP seized power, since the CCP ruled China, Fujian's resources have been deprived and its political power has been suppressed. The most serious situation is that Fujian people are forced to smuggle into other countries.

Hokkien = very ancient and old Chinese. Mandarin = influenced by Manchurian and Mongol.
👍
yeah they are all diff language and i hope hokkien would not fade
Us too!
Bwe phai lo 🤣
To Sha! 🙂
I can slightly understand what you talked with subtitles. I got along with hokkien ppino before. The accent is totally different from Taiwanese, I think it’s affected by cebuano or Tagalog.
Haha maybe. Glad you could at least slightly understand 😂
the influence from local ph languages is minimal, because the ones that still speak hokkien are more conservative families. the ones who aren't, just won't speak it at all. its mostly because ph hokkien is mostly descended from Quanzhou Hokkien, while most taiwanese hokkien varieties across taiwan are mostly descended from Zhangzhou Hokkien, except maybe northern taiwan, but northern taiwan mostly speaks mandarin now. southern and central taiwan speaks more hokkien, but their hokkien descends from Zhangzhou hokkien, so it will really sound different.
@@xXxSkyViperxXx but the friend I mentioned who migrated to the Philippine from Taiwan.
@@anthonymonga8576 his family came from taiwan? perhaps his family came from the part of taiwan that also descends from quanzhou hokkien such as in Lukang and northern taiwan. Most other chinese filipinos have ancestors coming from mostly Quanzhou or xiamen then a few from zhangzhou
i am a filipino pure my parents are filipino pure, but i practice my hokkien uie everyday. tsin gaw lah!!

Jun Chen yes similar meaning, or at least in our knowledge 😅
@@EarlandFrances Yeah that's where I heard people used this term meaning our people's language. I've been introduced to many variants of Hokkien but the Filipino Hokkien dialect can hardly be found. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing this valuable clip to public!!
No problem! May I know where you're from?

Haha to shia di! 😂
In fact, the Fujian people are not Chinese or Han at all. Not only were they discriminated against by the Chinese, they were also eliminated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the mouths of northerners, the Fujian people were southern barbarians, and the Fujian people's writing was basically wiped out.
In ancient times, primitive people lived in Fujian. Due to the isolation of mountains and rivers, they had almost no contact with the outside world. In ancient classics, the earliest record about Fujian appears in "Zhou Li Xia Guan": "Distinguish its states, countries, capitals, Bi, Si Yi, Ba Man, Qi Min, Jiu Raccoon, Wu Rong, and Liu Di people .”
"Qi Min" refers to the seven primitive tribes living in Fujian. "The Rites of Zhou" juxtaposes Fujian with Yi, barbarians, and raccoon dogs, which is Chinese people's discrimination against surrounding ethnic groups. However, it also reflects from the side that Fujian has not yet been "civilized" and lacks communication with the Central Plains. In ancient Chinese, the word "Min" originally referred to a long snake, and most of the primitive tribes of Fujian believed in the snake god.
Fujian people are not a Chinese nation at all. Fujian people are a different ethnic group that are discriminated against by Chinese people.
Until the Warring States Period, the once powerful Yue State was wiped out by the Chu State. A group of Yue people did not want to surrender to the Chu State, so they migrated to Fujian. They brought advanced culture and production technology, integrated with the local Fujian people, and established the Minyue State in Fujian, which was the first political power in Fujian.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he launched a large-scale war to conquer Baiyue in the south. He eventually incorporated Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian into the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, and established Minzhong County in Fujian. However, the Qin Dynasty did not directly administer Fujian. Instead, it was managed by the Minyue leader Wu Zhu (a descendant of Gou Jian), and Minzhong County enjoyed a high degree of autonomy.
In the conflict between Chu and Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Wu Zhu sided with Liu Bang and assisted Liu Bang militarily, thus gaining the trust of the Western Han Dynasty. Under Wu Zhu's diligent rule, in the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the Minyue Kingdom was restored, with Yecheng as its capital, which is today's Fuzhou. The Minyue Kingdom continued to grow and develop, causing concern in the Western Han Dynasty. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, he sent Zhu Maichen to destroy the Minyue Kingdom, which was openly anti-Han. The Minyue Kingdom enjoyed a 92-year reign.
From a historical perspective, the Fujian people were opposed to the Han regime and were eventually wiped out. During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchus invaded, and Fujianese people were also severely exiled overseas. Now many guilds in ASEAN countries are mostly people from southern Fujian, Guangdong, etc.
During the period when the CCP seized power, since the CCP ruled China, Fujian's resources have been deprived and its political power has been suppressed. The most serious situation is that Fujian people are forced to smuggle into other countries.
Not so bad for someone who lived in US for a long time
