Special Thanks to Kai!
Nji6 hau3! Ngo mjeng Andy. Mja siang jang?
Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Ngai language.
The Ngai language is classified as a dialect of Shaozhou Tuhua (unclassified Chinese variety of languages) located in Northern Guangdong province. The Ngai language is mutually unintelligible with other Shaozhou Tuhua dialects and other Chinese languages such as Gan, Xiang, Cantonese, Min, and Mandarin. Hakka, Cantonese, and Mandarin have influenced the Shaozhou Tuhua languages, however, the Ngai Language has also received influence from Min languages and local Yao languages. The Ngai language has few speakers left, mainly spoken by the elderly and little proficient in younger generations. In addition, the Shaozhou Tuhua languages and Ngai Dialect are spoken by both Han and Yao Chinese.

Sounds like a Hakka-Yue-Min creole with noticeable Hmong-mien influence. Interesting.
There are similarities with Ngai Kua and Lu Mein!

This so-called Ngai Kua is not a real language, it is a constructed one and no one speaks it.
@@求主指引 yes it is, my cousins father's side speak this language
This is my family's language! but my parents dont speak it only my grandparents... Its so cool seeing it showcased, i never seen anyone else speak it and didefinitely didnt know that it has similarities to mien!
wow, it must be exchange from Yao and Han speakers
@@lorneye7226 Where is this language spoken? All the comments on Chinese Internet say this language is a fake one.
Amazing deep dive thanks.
Ngai Kai is famous for movies
Hi Andy, awesome video 👋
Ngai in Vietnam is counted as a completely separate ethnic from the Chinese Hoa (Han in China)
it seems k&t in the coda becomes glottal stops, but not reflexes in spelling. If It is assumed to be a tone in the language?
Perhaps the person in the video’s accent is influenced by languages that lack a t or k ending and has trouble pronouncing it? Such as chaozhou hua which lacks a t ending or mandarin that lack both t&k
Or the romanization may not be totally accurate
Is this language spoken today, yes or no?
What meaning the numbers in the words?
A tone
Is it easy for Chinese speakers to learn this language?
Writing language is not a great problem even for a non-learner, so I believe yes.
no eazy ` like germans learning english
Should compare to Hokkien or Teochew, this language is very reminiscent of Min languages
Request: the portuguese language of india
But currently hardly any Portuguese speaker exist in India today. What I know are some creole languages in kerala, goa but those are extinct now.
Request: Finnish and Mongolian?
Next cXa͈kW͈aɳ6 gK͈̃ꜝ4 gŪo dialect of Ghatchâo-Sinitic ancient language?

whats that language? I never heard of it
@@helloKitty-ql3dj An extinct language
Could you make Iraqi Arabic and Persian?
wow, a lot of its vocabulary reminds me of hokkien
The character for sweet should obviously be 甘 instead of 甜. Also, the character for write probably shouldn't be 寫 either., also I can't figure out what it should be.
The headdress gives lakkja vibes a yao classified group who speaks a tai-kadai language unless they're the same group? but this ngai kua is a sino-tibetan group. the mens outfit looks like white pants yao as do the ladies skirt.
Sounds like a mix of Hokkien, Hakka and Cantonese
This is actually a constructed language. Shaozhou language is not like this.
@@求主指引 Well my cousins paternal side speaks this language too, Andy did mention in the video that this language is the most divergent and it is possibly misclassified with other shaozhou language
@@lorneye7226 What is the location of the area where this language is being spoken? I have asked many other people who are familiar with Shaozhou language and they said this language does not exist.
@@求主指引 This specific dialect is spoken in Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County of northern Guangdong under the administration of Shaoguan city.
@@kmv40815 This “dialect” is a fake one. In Ruyuan, people mainly speak Hakka and Iu Mien. There are also fewer people who speak Hokkien, Cantonese and Shaozhou Tuhua. But this so-called “Ngai Kua” never exists. I am familiar with Chinese linguistics and the distribution of Chinese dialects. I don’t know where you are from and why you guys believe such bullshit.
Kumauni and Garhwali
I need a volunteer. :)
@@ilovelanguages0124 Can you compare this with other sino-tibetan languages like teochew , tibetan, cantonese, hakka?
As a Chinese guy here, may I please point out that the map you used is not 100% accurate? Taiwan and South Tibet is missing.
no
Khalkha vs Buryat, please
First
Wait a mins 我 NGO is the same as Cantonese 😂 much closer than mandarin ‘WO’
@@Shionshowa so what? A lot of chinese languages have “ngo” not just cantonese.
Even some mandarin dialects have the “ng” entering initial for 我
@@bryonwhite6359 not really. Maybe outside of taishanese being ‘NGOI’ so it’s close to canto but this ngại kua is the same pretty much in pronunciation. Mandarin have none word that pronounce with ‘NG’ it’s lost too many features.
@@Shionshowa um actually some southern dialects of mandarin retained the “ng” entering initial.
@@Shionshowa wrong. Many Chinese languages including Some Southern Mandarin has "ngo" or something that sounds like it.

Because this language is a fake one. All the comments on Chinese Internet say this language does not exist and is constructed. The true Ngai language, which is a kind of Hakka, pronounces "我“ as ngai. And this is how the name "ngai" is derived.
The term ”dialect” is commonly used to denote differences in language, but in political terms, it has a different meaning. An example of this would be that Ngai Kua is classified as a Teochew dialect of Chinese. In politics, the term ”dialects” is incorrectly used to describe Teochew, Hakka, and Cantonese as Chinese dialects.
He said, "The Ngai language is classified as a dialect of Shaozhou Tuhua, an unclassified Chinese variety of languages..."
@@kmv40815
It is actually referred to as Teochew. The language is definitely Teochew and the city is Shaozhou, but the language is also known as Shaozhou Tuhua, which means the language of Shaozhou.
@@rarearyantroops Teochew is Chaozhou (or Chaosan). You are getting confused. There is no city called Shaozhou. Shaozhou was an administrative region south of Hunan to the northern border of Guangxi at the time of the Tang dynasty. I think you meant to say Chaozhou where Teochew is spoken.
@@kmv40815
I believe they were identical and the same.
@@rarearyantroops They are not the same.
BUDDHA BLESS THE NGAI KUA
The language ownership of this language is still a problem, and few people say it.This language is also used in Shaozhou虱婆声。Now most of them use Hakka or Cantonese Mandarin.
really sad...
