Hi everyone:) I actually re-upload the video due to a copyright strike from the BGM, so here is the new video with different background music! Sorry for the inconvenience, and I'd really appreciate you rewatch the video. kamsiah 🙏 Maaf sekali video in harus re-upload karna video semalam ada kasus copy-right strike. Ini video terbaru dengan background muzik yg lain. Minta maaf ya🙏
I never realised there is yet another ethnic group of Chinese, the Hakka people, who had an even more confusing language background, then major dialect groups like Fujian ( 閩南話) or Guangdong ( 廣東話Cantonese), especially the so called Hokkien can't speak across other Taiwanese who insist their actually the ones speaking true MinNam Hua..閩南話 etc., which is of course not Hokkien but different enough to keep everyone tongue tied..I like your videos. Never knew some of Chinese things you pointed out about SEAsia..Truly fascinating..I will be more gentle on the next Hakka person I meet..No wonder LKY sometimes can learn Hokkien so fast. It's partly Hakka already...
@@shaunkong62 Hakkas are quite rare amongst the Chinese population. It’s quite similar to majority of the dialects but yet alittle different. Hahahaha can’t really explain 😅 I think most commonly known hakka food in Singapore should be the “lui cha” thunder tea rice…… but growing up under one roof with 3 generations of hakkas and me being the 4th, I think it should be quite accurate for me to say that those commercial “lui chas” are nowhere near how the original one should taste. FYI…..the original “lui cha” taste absolutely horrible (maybe it’s because I personally don’t really like my great-great grandma’s recipe/versions of it) hahahaha. Commercial ones tastes so much better. Hahahahaha En diao nhign hor shao you ki hui yung dor kak fa wo wai nhign gong fa. You ki heh xin ga pu, guet ga tet seh, mo ma gai nhign hiao ten. (This prolly sounds nowhere remotely near Hokkien I guess 😅)
Hakka is also very well known for their role in politics. Most notably: 1. Singapore Late PM Mr Lee Kuan Yew, 2. Malaysia’s Yap Ah Loy and Cheong Fatt Tze, 3. Indonesia’s Ahok and 4. not to forget Thailand’s former PM Thaksin and Yingluck Sinawatra. Seeing that you are somewhat keen on Hakka and their storied past, you might really want to visit these two places in Jakarta: 1. Museum Hakka in Taman Mini 2. Museum Pustaka Peranakan Tionghoa in Serpong area :)
@Heru Hou There was a Myanmar Hakka dictator Ne Win who overthrew the legitimate Burmese government in the 60s He was a military general and ruled for 30 over years. He adamantly denined that he is Chinese. But before he was overthrown reporters revealed that his mother had binded legs which was common for older generation Chinese women. They dug up Ne Win background that he was a 2nd generation Hakka.
@@laurencechan470 The Hakka women don't bind their feet. Maybe his father was a Hakka. Don't forget the famous Tiger Balm founder Ow Boon Haw was a Hakka too.
Young lady, I feel you are truly admirable, and thank you deeply for an interesting presentation on Hakkas. My grandmother was Hainanese, and my grandfather was Cantonese, but I grew up living among HoPo Hakkas. I am now over 75, and still mesmerized by all our Chinese dialects! Thanks so much.🥰🥰🥰
The most disorganised sub-language... The Hakkas & its culture will go extinct unless patrilinealistic rule is enacted as not too dilute the culture by false claimants "mother is Hakka", the mother might be a "true Hakka" but if the child's father not a Hakka then the child is considered to be not a true Hakka... thus thinly pass down the culture, only Hakka fathers know how to be a true Hakka... like every Father in a normal nuclear family, has strong influences on his children... (Historically the Hakkas adopted unwanted orphaned/abandoned female babies from other Chinese tribes, because Chinese culture at that time valued girls "less", where in Hakka culture the girls can be married off to Hakka boys to produce offsprings also to work the field) taking this patrilineal rule into account therefore the real number of true Hakka are less than perceived maybe in the 10 - 20 millions only, as opposed to 100 millions as previously believed (Most Hakka in Mainland China have emigrated after they lost war against Qing to Nan Yang "South Seas" & elsewhere... voluntarily & involuntarily), let alone Hakka speakers, which number far less maybe in the 2 - 6 millions only (all levels of proficiency as Hakka dialects so varied & rare, even rarer among younger generations of "Hakkas") worldwide... Extinction is very real (thus governments with ties to the culture, mostly in Asia, make efforts to preserve the culture as much as they can through government run programs etc)... much like the fictitious fallen extinct race, The Saiyans, in Dragon Ball manga...
The Hakka culture / lineage is preserved patrilinealistically as not to pass down the culture too thinly by intermixing with "other" culture from the father side of that culture (fathers have strong influence)... and becoming false Hakka claimants... do the lineage tree with patrilineal culture emphasis, you will see & get it...
Because really Hakka Fried Meatballs & Ham Choi Kon recipe can be easily emulated / replicated but parental life-long nurture & culture cannot easily & they are best handed down from the fathers...
Ohhh really?? Wow. I actually read this from internet, and thought it is a good ending for the video. Haha. It's touching to end with a quote like that :)
Dimana ada chahaya matahari,disitulah ada orang China,spoken to me 26 years ago by my late grandfather,but 2 days ago,while browsing the internet,the phrase differs,it reads,Dimana tiada chahaya matahari,pun ada orang China, because Chinese astronauts had landed on planet Mars,and last but not least,Hakka dialect daily spoken in the town,Kajang,15 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
@@FearlessPassport The other similar references I heard of is "where there is human, they will be Chinese. Where there is Chinese, there will be Teresa Tang". Thats is to give recognition to the great singer. But of coz, younger generation might not know who she was. :P Anyway, thanks for the content. Hope to see you cover all other clan as well.
I'm not Hakka but I read some articles about Hakka people before. They have been a source of many government and military leaders . When the Hakkas expanded into areas with pre-existing populations in the South, there was often little agricultural land left for them to farm. As a result, many Hakka men turned towards careers in the military or in public service. The Hakkas have had a significant influence, on the course of modern Chinese and overseas Chinese history, particularly as a source of revolutionary, political and military leaders. I guess this was because they have been outsiders and was even hated and invaded throughout their history, thus making them having a very strong sense of survival. Historically, Hakka women did not bind their feet when the practice was commonplace in China. Famous Hakka leaders include: Sun Yat-Sen (partial Hakka ancestry) - first president of the Republic of China and the first leader of the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party of China) Deng XiaoPing - former China leader who launced the reformed and opening which shaped the modern China we see today Lee Kuan Yew - legendary former Singapore Prime Minister who transformed Singapore from third world to First World Yap Ah Loy - Third Chinese Kapitan and important figure of early Kuala Lumpur whom transformed the place into a bustling town Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok - former governor of Jakarta Many foreign scholars were full of admiration of the Hakka people. According to prominent sinologist Victor Purcell, the Hakkas "have a stubbornness of disposition that distinguishes them from their fellow Chinese".
@@ELGtheMAN Last but not least,former prime ministers of Thailand, siblings,Thaksin Sinawatra and younger sister,Yingluck Sinawatra,they're Hakkas also.
@@alanchen8272/Evan: Where are these 國際音標kept? I imagine at some public server, can be downloaded in table format for free, correct? Suppose, my next step is organise some programmers to write a software dictionary, can we use the 國際音標 for free? Or is there some sort of charge? Then, my next step, I will be finding some suitable programmers in Singapore to do the Hokkien or Hakka version of the (English Chinese) dictionary similar in style to Plecodict..The reason is you need to plan in advance that any software dictionary should be loadable with Hakka and Hokkien or Cantonese sounds. You start with Hanyu Pinyin漢語拼音, and you should be able to load the Hakka or Hokkien sounds respectively....Doing the programming at a University in Singapore means, you can sell it or market it to all the Hokkien Hakka people who live in SE Asia. Think of this this way. Programming costs will be say $100,000 USD..This means you must be able to sell 5x times 20,000 copies of the software..The big question is will Hakka or Hokkien be that popular. Then you need to find some financiers who will be able to put together the initial capital ($100,000). Then you sell the software and improve it over the next 5 years..I would sell it through FB..Because you can gather interests from all Hakka groups there.. They should help out the numbers to exceed 20,000 copies.. Last time I checked there was a Hakka cultural food group on FB..I will find out how much the owner of Pleco would charge to add Hakka to the existing dictionary...etc..
Hey , I’m 葉惠玲, . My ancestors are my meizhou, China , but when I visited meizhou , Though Hakka was quite similar but some words aren’t pronounced the way we used too. I’m Hakka born in India(印度)Initially there were more than 20,000 Hakka families in India , mainly in Kolkata , but most of them migrated to the western countries for a better standards of living . Now there’s barely 1000 Hakka in Kolkata . Really appreciate this content of yours , it makes me feel so blessed to be a Hakka.
Hi there. I am from Belitung, Indonesia. My ancestor was also from Meizhou, from Wuhua District to be exact. We must speak quite similar dialect. I am very surprised when I saw documentary from Meizhou and they speak Hakka exactly as in my hometown. We have lost many vocabularies though, because of the assimilation into the indigenous society.
@@nisgin well India is still a developing country , being a Chinese in India there’s pro n cons . India is a diverse country . Since living in India , have made me blend in with Indian culture as well , celebrating festivals in India is one of the most beautiful experience. Where I particularly live , the Chinese community, for us Chinese New Year is one of the festival where we celebrate with high level of excitement, no where in the world I feel celebrate CNY in India ( Kolkata) .Indian have adapted to our cultures n ways of lives . Chinese cuisine is also a very famous cuisine, with a blend of Indian spice .
I visited Pontianak back in the mid-80s and I was surprised that in the middle of the business district I felt a bit like I was in my hometown Ipoh, Malaysia where most people were conversing in Good Old Hakka! Long Live the Hakka Ngin!

Thank you for showing our heritage. I'm Hakka too, born in Jakarta, of a Mei Zhou descent. Kami sangat menghargai video anda buat mengerti warisan kita.
Thanks for the video. I call myself Moiyan hakka. Years ago I followed my father to visit his village in Pontianak and Singkawang where he was born. He migrated to Singapore when young. Now I am in New Zealand. Guess I have the hakka genes that made the migration. My mum was also hakka, we had the opportunity to visit her ancestral village in Meizhou.
i didn't know my family have any relationship with Hakka until recently I found out that my late grandmother was Hakka originated from Guang Dong. With hindsight, i only realise that the family recipe from my grandma is actually a Hakka dish.
I'm Hakka from Aceh. The most west part of Indonesia. And we speak quiet different also 😂 I used to study in Penang, Malaysia. And met few Hakka people there, at first I got quite confused. But after a few days, we understand each other quite well, even though there was still a different word for some. But we still do understand each other 😂 Funny but still proud to be in Hakka Family 😁
Grew up in Sabah. My mom is Chinese, my Dad is Native. Hakka is the daily conversation for most Chinese here, the same goes for the Sino, where Hakka with a thick local accent and a combination of local dialect and Malay. My Chinese side originate from KL thou, My grandfather is Hokkien who is fluent in Cantonese but not Hokkien and my Grandma is Cantonese. My Mom grew up speaking Cantonese, besides English and Malay. In my case, I am surrounded by Cantonese, Mandarin and Hakka speaking. But being a Sabahan mix-child again, not fluent in 3 of them as I have a habit to mix the 3 Chinese Dialects in 1 sentence + sometimes Malay and English languages. That's the struggle when meeting Chinese speaking from Taiwan and China, which cause them some confusion of my own Chinese language.
Thank you for making this great video about Hakka. My father was from Hopo 河婆。I was born and grew up in Vietnam, where Hakka was just a ‘minority’ in the Chinese communities there. I watched videos about Hakka people in Singkawang 山口洋, and found that they speak very much like how my father spoke it. I would like to visit these Hakka communities in Indonesia and Malaysia someday.
Grew up in Kuching, but born in Bintangor, and now living in the U.S. for 41 years, I find your video and presentation so interesting and fun to watch. Thank you for you good work!
I am a Kar Yin Chiew hakka from Penang. My father used to bring me to his Hakka association when I was small to mix around. It is good to know the young members of the association are keeping the dialect alive through various activities such as hakka singing competitions etc.
svensk ? 100 procent hakka kämpar hårt älskar dom flesta blir glad när jag hör någon som pratar de ¨ eftersom man ofta bara hör madarin eller canto. Så förstår inte många hakka tror jag jag pratar de hemma med mina föräldrar mixat med svenska hahahah fast kan inte mycket kinesiska basic kan lite ändå haha fast tycker hakka låter bättre än mandarin 7 min i filmen när hos säger jag förstår låter samma som jag pratar ^^
As a Hakka from Singkawang, I rarely found Hakka speaker in big cities in Indonesia. Most of the Chinese I meet are either Hokkian or "Khiou Sen" (our terms for Chinese who can't speak any types of ancestors language). Btw, thanks for creating such a great video. GBU!
I am an indonesian hakka to be exact west borneo hakka people. I just came across your channel and find it really interesting. Thank you for uploading this video. You got yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the good work
appreciate your effort in bringing this clip so that although we are spread all over yet we do have our common ancestry in Hakka ngin...thank you. My grandparents migrated from Moi Yen to Melaka and now i am in USA. We do spread far and wide
Assuming that you can't read Chinese, Moi Yen is 梅县(Méixiàn) or Mei County. Many Malaysian Hakka Chinese has ancestry traced back to 大浦 or Dàpǔ. Dàpǔ Town was under jurisdiction of Mei County until 1988. Now it is Dàpǔ County 大浦县
Thank you for watching :) hope you are doing great in USA and find your Hakka clan there haha😂 we are not that different after all. Just that the dialect is very fun.
wait til u have a conversation with ho poh hak~~~then u'll know how hard other variant of hakka can be. im from tawau, & the 1st time i try to converse with ho poh hak, i was like "mak gai ah?" 85% of the time xD
@@FearlessPassport Hi YeeVen. You posted this video yesterday & I posted a comment but now the video is listed as private & I can't view it anymore. Your Hakka sounds like the variant my late father, his mother & his grandparents used to speak. They were all from Sungei Siput, Perak. Is Hor Poh Hak the dominant Hakka variant in Sungei Siput?
@@andrewhwang7920 Yes Mr. Andrew, I posted the video last night however it got the copyright strike of BGM (background music)🙏 It was my mistake. I got no choice but to re-upload again with the new music this morning. I read your comment last night, however yet to have time to reply :) I'm not sure about Sungai Siput😂 there is a chat group on discord talking about Hakka. Hahaha. Would you like to join? The group has all Hakkas from all around the world.
Awesome video! It's great to see a young person not forgetting her root. I'm much impressed by your being fluent in several languages. Please keep up the good work! 👍
She is definitely a Real Malaysian Hakka who just like her, I speak several dialects besides my own Hakka Meizhou dialect and living in Malaysia Bahasa melayu is spoken and of course English. I speak Hakka as my father is Hakka, and I learn Cantonese from my Cantonese mother, who is from Penang where Hokkien is widely spoken and my cousins taught me Hokkien when I spend my holidays there and I have picked up Teochew and Mandarin while working in Singapore. Ka Yew Hakka!
Thanks for the video !! I'm also Hakka ngin, I was born and raised in Jakarta, my father from Singkawang (hakka ngin) and my mother from pontianak (teochew nang). We usually speak with singkawang dialect and my father once said his grandfather are from 河婆 because we still have relatives family in there
Wow if your father is Hakka, and so was your grandfather, great grandfather and so on (Not your mother side, Hakka culture is patrilinealistic) then you are trully a Hakka...

@@Wazzup1991 yes of course but hakka has this stereotype because we need to work hard as our ancestors didn’t have fertile land back in china, and many hakkas had better education and higher literacy to join politics
@@Wazzup1991 my hakka grandma can read and write Chinese characters properly while my kuchong’s mother who is a hokkian is illiterate (both were born in China)
Hi everyone! My ancestors are Hakka with surname Chin who moved to Bangka a long time ago, they've intermarried with locals though so my dad identifies more as a Melayu. I myself was born and raised in Bandung as a half Sunda-half Melayu but it's always interesting to know your ancestors better.
I am Tai Pu Hak (大埔客), was born in Sibu and now living in Miri, Sarawak. Although I am Tai Pu Hak, I can understand few variants since my family (from Kuching) speaks mixed Hakka variants like Ho Po, Moi Yen, Tai Pu. So my Hakka (beginner level) is very rojak one...sometimes I even mix speaking with Hokien. *feeling guilty* Anyway, I am new to your channel and find your videos very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing and hope to see more soon. Kamsiah ngii~~
Feeling guilty is a good start for self-preservation... good job... Hopefully the patrilinealistic Hakka culture will not go extinct because of the dilution of culture and false "Hakka" claimants... No such thing as "half" Hakka... You're either a True Hakka (children of Hakka Fathers) or not...
Hi Moi Zai , my landlady in the UK are Hakka I don’t know which variant of Hakka they are but now I found out their accent is same as yours . They are Sabahan.I always think Hakka sound a bit like Cantonese and slight of hokkien . And also Hakka sound like Korean too .
@@FearlessPassport Hi, Sabah Hakka here (Moi Yen). Your dialect sounds exactly the same as mine in all the examples you used except “ where do you want to go.” We use 哪行 instead of 哪位 ✌️
I'm glad I stumbled upon this video and really enjoyed it, smiling throughout the part where Moi Zai speaks samples of our Hakka dialect. My father was Tai Pu (Da Pu?), mother a Cantonese. Since my mother was a housewife, my brother and I grew up speaking Cantonese at home, and my late grandma (father's side) used to scold me "Ngi heh Hakka ngin em hiao kong hak wa!!". I understand when people converse in Hakka, but I can't speak the dialect fluently due to lack of use. Wish I can speak it better. Thanks for your interesting and informative video.
Love this video. I am Hokkien but I grew up surrounded by hakka people in Kuching and later in Penang. It is always nice to know where our culture is linked to. Keeo the nice video coming and I can't wait for the Hokkien one.
Moi Chai! You are so cute. Give you lots of 👍👍👍👍👍 👍. Btw, all are still Hakka and our ancestors were from same area in China. We are ONE BIG FAMILY no matter where and everywhere. ❤❤❤
For Hakka dialects' variety, me as a Fukkenese(or Fujianese) completely understand you. We have different dialects depends on different region, sometimes we feel difficult to understand each other as well.
My grand father was imigrant from China Guangdong Longchuan(龙川)to Malaysia,during world war 2 , my grand fahter was study in Shanghai as a doctor and joint the Nationalist Militiary (国民党军)in year 1939,fight with Japanese in Changsha(长沙)and Hengyang(衡阳)。After the Japnanese was defeated, my grand father don't want to joint the civil war between Communist and Nationalist, he escape to Hong Kong and ship to Singapore,finally he bought an estate in Johor Malaysia and married with my grand mum.
I love your videos! I'm from Bangka Island. The locals in my hometown speak Khek. I grow up in Jakarta and still able to speak kek although my Khek skill is very limited (I'd say is bad). My pronunciation is very bad that my cousins and my aunts sometimes say they don't understand me. Lol. Your videos are very educational and I learn about my root from you. Keep up the good work! 🤩😁
I would love to see how people in Bangka island speak Hakka. Must be interesting❤ you can start learning hehe, good to communicate with orang tua with dialek✨
Hello to fellows Hakka ngin. I'm one but my Hakka dialect has been heavily "contaminated" with locals' languages. As the author said I mostly can only understand my Hakka group in Bangka island when we communicate. When encounter with other Hakka groups from other region such as Kalimantan and Belitung for example, I have to struggle to understand them. Nonetheless, I understand them at least 50%
Talking about Hakka variants. I was in Fujian 冠豸山(客家第一神山) I swear I couldn't understand a word of Hakka they speak. On the same trip I also went to 梅县checked out the Hakka Museum and had no problem understand their Hakka😂
Really informative dear! No doubt many Chinese Indo forgot their ancestor and even their culture, with this video helping many Chinese Indo relearn their culture 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks very much and appreciated for your kind explanation and demonstration of hakka dialects (Many thanks to all your friends/relatives who helped in the demonstrations too:). To my surprise, I didn't realize that Ho Po Hakka (河婆客) does sound quite similar to Fui Jiu (惠州客) Hakka in so many ways. Thanks very much for showing that and glad to hear familiar hakka speaking from a very beautiful country of Indonesia. To be honest, there aren't that many like you the younger generations that are still able to speak hakka (or any other dialects of their own) fluently. Not to mention that you are from Indonesia which is another shock and eye opening for many. Good job hakka girl, keep up the good work and God bless you. By the way, your Mandarin sounds very good too. I believe you are very well educated in many languages including Chinese apart from Bahasa Indonesia and English. 好一个有才华的客家女孩。继续加油哦!愿上帝赐福给妳:)
I really appreciate you too Sis, as i also live in Jakarta and knowing that the Mandarin language and other Chinese dialects were also suffering from being banned for 32 years when Order Baru was in power ! You are great Sis who is still young but could still master Hakka dialect ! Not easy...
Btw, as addition, Aceh has more Hakka people than Medan, and each Chinese people in Aceh speaks Hakka each other as daily communication language, while Medan has more Hokkien than Hakka, Medan also has Canton people(廣府) whose ancestor usually was from 廣東台山、新會、開平、恩平、鶴山 and other regions, like 廣東南海、高要、四會、清遠。Hakka people living in Aceh use 梅縣 style Hakka Dialect, while Hakka people in Kalimantan use 海陸豐 style Hakka dialect more than 梅縣 style 's one.
Wish to interview each Hakka from different places. So interesting! Are you from Acheh too? My grandparent kubur written they are from 鹤山,we all speak Hakka and Cantonese :)
@@FearlessPassport @Fearless Passport I am from Medan, but I can't understand Hakka. I can speak Cantonese, Taishanese(四邑話), Hokkien and Mandarin, English, Malay/Indonesian fluently. 鶴山 is same as 東莞, some regions are lived by Hakka people, some regions are lived by Canton people.
I from Sabah, Borneo Island.. My father is Original Chinese Hakka and my mother is local original Sabah Dusun Tatana. So i am mix Chinese Hakka + Dusun Tatana Sabah . Thank for great content about Hakka Ngin * Can you sharing which place in Indonesia have a lot Hakka Ngin . Thank
Close to you, Sabah, Singkawang & Pontianak a lots of Hakka people there. Bangka & Belitung Island. Jakarta used to be dominated by Moiyan Hakka but now they are scattered.
Thank you for this interesting video. My mother was Hakka and my Father is local HK Chinese but our ancestors came from mainland China over 400 years ago as we have kept the linage since our ancestors' left their village in 廣東. I understand Hakka as I have lived with my grandparents from my mother's side for about a year, as the villagers most speak Hakka amongst themselves and so I had no option but to learn. While I was living there, I came across someone who spoke another Hakka Dialect and I believe it was Mu-Yin Hakka. There are similarities there but there are also very differences in some pronunciations. Your Hakka is the same as my mother's Hakka and I understand what you are saying.

Hello, Hakka Moi. I'm also Hakka to myself. My father Hakka from Kampar, Perak. Although we don't speak Hakka so often due to my mother is Cantonese but I can understand. I just realize that Indonesia have Hakka, good to know. Thank you for sharing.
I went to Ipoh once and while we were speaking Hakka at a shop, suddenly the shop owner talked to us in Haka haha. What a wonderful experience. From Sabah here ;)
@Adam Tou, you'll be surprised how local and traditional are the Indonesian Chinese. They speak more native dialect than us, especially Hokkien. I was surprised too when I was there. Its a great experience :)
you will be more surprised down in west kalimantan you will find more hakka people, from pontianak to singkawang and along the border road people will speak hakka
Tq for your explanation. I now have a better insight of the hakka descent. Long ago, I wondered why it was almost similar to my dialect and I could almost understand it. Now, I understand.
Ngai hei hakka ngin too!! Malaysian Hakka ngin. Migrated to the US and currently living in Hawai'i and started doing a search on my ancestors and my people. I did not know that the Hakka people are very diverse. It really shows how we've assimilated as "guest people" to the places our ancestors settled in. I love this video. I need to check with my dad what Hakka ngin we are. haha.
Jie jie,, ni hao... in my hometown, Bangka, hakka people speak hakka-melayu... their mixed langauge already.. but in belitung the hakka people still speak pure hakka..
i am chinese from indonesia. when i was little, i never knew about 'khek' or hokkien etc. when i was youngster, i started to hear about it but still did not know the different, still is. when i was little, my parent and other elders, taught me to say 'kamsia' and 'shie shie' (sorry, if i wrote wrong), to thank you but never taught what's the different, never asked. then when i was in the plane, a taiwanese company, i heard annoucement in chinese and ended with 'kamsia'.... since then i thought 'kamsia' was a taiwanese word for 'thank you.... then i saw this video and i know now that it is a hakka word. oh, btw, although i'm chinese i do not speak chinese i just learnt little word when i was little. my family did not speak chinese, they spoke javanese when i was little, only my grandparent knew chinese.
Well done! there are Hakkas are all over the world - I did a search in here but mostly quite dated. Anyway most will speak mandarin first unless you know them personally.
So proud to be Hakka people. Very good presentation, i am hakka from Singkawang city of Indonesia. I am living in Australia 🇦🇺 and become Oz Hakka lol ,Never know so many hakka people around the World. Let’s us Unite as HAKKA big Family around the Worlds Amin🙏🏻
Like your dad, I don't know what Hakka I am. I am from KL but my wife is from Sabah. Me with my Hokkien, Cantonese and bad Hakka (unused for many years) background could speak to her uncle who had a sing song Hakka My wife with only her strict & "correct" Hakka couldn't understand the uncle. Interesting video. Referred 1st by YT to your Indon/Malaysia Chinese video. Subscribed for your interesting topics
Thank you Mr. Law for your support and time in watching the videos🙏 some Hakka songs are very funny, but are gems now. I wanted to put some Hakka songs inside but afraid of the copyright strike. You can youtube search: Hakka songs Malaysia or Indonesia. You'll have a wonderful time laughing and appreciate the old times ☺☺
Genetically some Hakka groups mixed with mountain tribes as they were driven away by the coastal people. I have heard of shehua where it is different from She language, and is a creole of Hakka and She. Much of the culture also have become localised and creolised, and are facing extinction because of being in the crossfire between sinocentrists, traditionalist puritans and fully assimilated ultranationalists.
I agree very much with this hypothesis. Like the Bai ethnic people, they are not Han Chinese in terms of ancestry, but the Bai language is so heavily influenced by Chinese dialects it could be misidentified as a Han Chinese dialect. Similar scenarios have happened in the well-recorded ethnogenesis of the Pingpu (平浦)people in Taiwan, who were Taiwanese aborigines that took up Han Chinese identity after generations of assimilation process. Earliest Hakka people were probably She people who were assimilated by surrounding Han Chinese and eventually gave up their She identity due to pressures.
Truly smart presentation in limited time.... I'm hakka too... I cann't speak hakka,but can hear hakka a little bit.... Something i know, hakka people was known as a patient people,its proof by the intonation of the language....
Hi YeeVen, ngai he hak ka nyin, khun tien nyin. 😀 My grandfather came to Pontianak from Moi Yan, Meixian. Thanks for the knowledge shared about our Hakka roots 👍🏼 Why the re-upload? I watched the previous upload last night.
In Kuching, our hakka dialect is similar to Singkawang & Pontianak. I guess our ancestors came from the same district/country in Meizhou. I myself is a Kaying Hakka, but we speak Hopo Hakka.
In Sabah part, it's very true more than 50% of Chinese in that state are Hakka . I grow up with them and learn a few basic conversations enough to talk among the Hakka speaking friends. Only in Sandakan there is Cantonese dialect a bit, Mandarin language spoken during official gathering, in school, official event, otherwise mostly speak Hakka.
Thank you for making this video which answered of my curiosity about the Hakka people and the language itself. I'm not a Hakka because my dad isn't one but my mum is a Da Bu Hakka(we pronounced it as Tai Bu Hak) and hakka is my main spoken language at home. What I noticed is that your Hakka pronunciation is maybe 80-90% similar to mine but when I spoke to my other half's relatives who are Ho Poh Hak in Kuching, I totally don't understand them at all. After dissecting slowly, I found that we speak most words similarly but with a hugely differing intonation. Before MCO, my hakka uncle actually went to Da Bu to visit the actual home of my grandfather. He recorded some videos of the locals speaking and found our hakka has been diluted and differ from them already 😅 I attributed it to my upbringing. Besides my mum, I was brought up by my grandma(tai pu Hak iirc) and my hakka speaking babysitter of unknown hakka origin. Some difference between my own hakka and generally the rest is the pronunciation of words containing 'a' will be pronounced with an 'o' myself. Example: Eat rice - sit fon Eat already? - ngi sit bau mang/mou Haven't eat - ngai mang sit fon How are you - ngi hou mou I don't know - ngai mm Di dou / ngai mm sit I can't understand hakka - ngai mm sit ten Hak/hakka fa I haven't arrived - ngai mang dou Thank you - mm goi / tor sia/chia I always thought kam siah is Hokkien 😅
My mom is from Hakka descent. My maternal grandpa was from Moiyan (now meixian guangdong). He came to manado indonesia about 1939 or 1940 when he was 17 years old.
I remember meeting another Hakka Ngin from a different country one time and his Hakka was different than mine and that threw me off lol. I didn't know at that time that there are tons of different variant of Hakka. Since then, I've always wanted to learn more and the more i learned, the more fascinated I become. Hakka culture and language is so beautiful. And super glad RUclips recommended me this video!
Thank you for this video. I learnt a lot. I'm hoping you'll start videos teaching about the various dialects. You can start with teaching the likes of me Hakka. 😊
I was born in Perak Malaysia. My paternal grandfather was from China. I am not sure of my maternal grandparents but all are hakkas. According to my father, who was a tin mine headman, we are fui chew hak. I am now married n living in Singapore. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. Shalom

I never realised there is yet another ethnic group of Chinese, the Hakka people, who had an even more confusing language background, then major dialect groups like Fujian ( 閩南話) or Guangdong ( 廣東話Cantonese), especially the so called Hokkien can't speak across other Taiwanese who insist their actually the ones speaking true MinNam Hua..閩南話 etc., which is of course not Hokkien but different enough to keep everyone tongue tied..I like your videos. Never knew some of Chinese things you pointed out about SEAsia..Truly fascinating..I will be more gentle on the next Hakka person I meet..No wonder LKY sometimes can learn Hokkien so fast. It's partly Hakka already...

@@shaunkong62 Hakkas are quite rare amongst the Chinese population. It’s quite similar to majority of the dialects but yet alittle different. Hahahaha can’t really explain 😅
I think most commonly known hakka food in Singapore should be the “lui cha” thunder tea rice…… but growing up under one roof with 3 generations of hakkas and me being the 4th, I think it should be quite accurate for me to say that those commercial “lui chas” are nowhere near how the original one should taste. FYI…..the original “lui cha” taste absolutely horrible (maybe it’s because I personally don’t really like my great-great grandma’s recipe/versions of it) hahahaha. Commercial ones tastes so much better. Hahahahaha
En diao nhign hor shao you ki hui yung dor kak fa wo wai nhign gong fa. You ki heh xin ga pu, guet ga tet seh, mo ma gai nhign hiao ten. (This prolly sounds nowhere remotely near Hokkien I guess 😅)
Hakka is also very well known for their role in politics. Most notably:
1. Singapore Late PM Mr Lee Kuan Yew, 2. Malaysia’s Yap Ah Loy and Cheong Fatt Tze,
3. Indonesia’s Ahok and
4. not to forget Thailand’s former PM Thaksin and Yingluck Sinawatra.
Seeing that you are somewhat keen on Hakka and their storied past, you might really want to visit these two places in Jakarta:
1. Museum Hakka in Taman Mini
2. Museum Pustaka Peranakan Tionghoa in Serpong area :)
Your past President of Indonesia HRH Abdul Rahman (Gusdur) speaks fluent Hakka but I cannot ascertain whether he is a Hakka or not.
@@actevnet my guess is that he is a Hokkien. He does admit that he is also of a Chinese descent. His surname is Tan. That’s all I can tell.
Dont forget the cousin of cheong fatt tze, mayor de chinezen tjong a fie from medan
@Heru Hou There was
a Myanmar Hakka dictator Ne Win who overthrew the
legitimate Burmese government in the 60s
He was a military general and ruled for 30 over years. He adamantly
denined that he is Chinese. But before he
was overthrown reporters revealed that
his mother had binded

@@laurencechan470 The Hakka women don't bind their feet. Maybe his father was a Hakka. Don't forget the famous Tiger Balm founder Ow Boon Haw was a Hakka too.
Young lady, I feel you are truly admirable, and thank you deeply for an interesting presentation on Hakkas. My grandmother was Hainanese, and my grandfather was Cantonese, but I grew up living among HoPo Hakkas. I am now over 75, and still mesmerized by all our Chinese dialects! Thanks so much.🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for watching🙏🙏🙏 I wish you good health and abundance happiness :)
The most disorganised sub-language... The Hakkas & its culture will go extinct unless patrilinealistic rule is enacted as not too dilute the culture by false claimants "mother is Hakka", the mother might be a "true Hakka" but if the child's father not a Hakka then the child is considered to be not a true Hakka... thus thinly pass down the culture, only Hakka fathers know how to be a true Hakka... like every Father in a normal nuclear family, has strong influences on his children... (Historically the Hakkas adopted unwanted orphaned/abandoned female babies from other Chinese tribes, because Chinese culture at that time valued girls "less", where in Hakka culture the girls can be married off to Hakka boys to produce offsprings also to work the field) taking this patrilineal rule into account therefore the real number of true Hakka are less than perceived maybe in the 10 - 20 millions only, as opposed to 100 millions as previously believed (Most Hakka in Mainland China have emigrated after they lost war against Qing to Nan Yang "South Seas" & elsewhere... voluntarily & involuntarily), let alone Hakka speakers, which number far less maybe in the 2 - 6 millions only (all levels of proficiency as Hakka dialects so varied & rare, even rarer among younger generations of "Hakkas") worldwide... Extinction is very real (thus governments with ties to the culture, mostly in Asia, make efforts to preserve the culture as much as they can through government run programs etc)... much like the fictitious fallen extinct race, The Saiyans, in Dragon Ball manga...
The Hakka culture / lineage is preserved patrilinealistically as not to pass down the culture too thinly by intermixing with "other" culture from the father side of that culture (fathers have strong influence)... and becoming false Hakka claimants... do the lineage tree with patrilineal culture emphasis, you will see & get it...
Because really Hakka Fried Meatballs & Ham Choi Kon recipe can be easily emulated / replicated but parental life-long nurture & culture cannot easily & they are best handed down from the fathers...
"Dimana ada matahari, disitulah ada orang China" this my dad quote to me when I am young and after 30 over years now I heard again from your video...
Ohhh really?? Wow. I actually read this from internet, and thought it is a good ending for the video. Haha. It's touching to end with a quote like that :)
Dimana ada chahaya matahari,disitulah ada orang China,spoken to me 26 years ago by my late grandfather,but 2 days ago,while browsing the internet,the phrase differs,it reads,Dimana tiada chahaya matahari,pun ada orang China, because Chinese astronauts had landed on planet Mars,and last but not least,Hakka dialect daily spoken in the town,Kajang,15 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
@@FearlessPassport The other similar references I heard of is "where there is human, they will be Chinese. Where there is Chinese, there will be Teresa Tang". Thats is to give recognition to the great singer. But of coz, younger generation might not know who she was. :P
Anyway, thanks for the content. Hope to see you cover all other clan as well.
I'm not Hakka but I read some articles about Hakka people before.
They have been a source of many government and military leaders . When the Hakkas expanded into areas with pre-existing populations in the South, there was often little agricultural land left for them to farm. As a result, many Hakka men turned towards careers in the military or in public service.
The Hakkas have had a significant influence, on the course of modern Chinese and overseas Chinese history, particularly as a source of revolutionary, political and military leaders. I guess this was because they have been outsiders and was even hated and invaded throughout their history, thus making them having a very strong sense of survival.
Historically, Hakka women did not bind their feet when the practice was commonplace in China.
Famous Hakka leaders include:
Sun Yat-Sen (partial Hakka ancestry) - first president of the Republic of China and the first leader of the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party of China)
Deng XiaoPing - former China leader who launced the reformed and opening which shaped the modern China we see today
Lee Kuan Yew - legendary former Singapore Prime Minister who transformed Singapore from third world to First World
Yap Ah Loy - Third Chinese Kapitan and important figure of early Kuala Lumpur whom transformed the place into a bustling town
Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok - former governor of Jakarta
Many foreign scholars were full of admiration of the Hakka people. According to prominent sinologist Victor Purcell, the Hakkas "have a stubbornness of disposition that distinguishes them from their fellow Chinese".
@@ELGtheMAN Last but not least,former prime ministers of Thailand, siblings,Thaksin Sinawatra and younger sister,Yingluck Sinawatra,they're Hakkas also.

感謝您的留言。這意味著我們可以分別開發閩南話或客家話詞典。
@@alanchen8272/Evan: Where are these 國際音標kept? I imagine at some public server, can be downloaded in table format for free, correct?
Suppose, my next step is organise some programmers to write a software dictionary, can we use the 國際音標 for free? Or is there some sort of charge? Then, my next step, I will be finding some suitable programmers in Singapore to do the Hokkien or Hakka version of the (English Chinese) dictionary similar in style to Plecodict..The reason is you need to plan in advance that any software dictionary should be loadable with Hakka and Hokkien or Cantonese sounds. You start with Hanyu Pinyin漢語拼音, and you should be able to load the Hakka or Hokkien sounds respectively....Doing the programming at a University in Singapore means, you can sell it or market it to all the Hokkien Hakka people who live in SE Asia. Think of this this way. Programming costs will be say $100,000 USD..This means you must be able to sell 5x times 20,000 copies of the software..The big question is will Hakka or Hokkien be that popular.
Then you need to find some financiers who will be able to put together the initial capital ($100,000). Then you sell the software and improve it over the next 5 years..I would sell it through FB..Because you can gather interests from all Hakka groups there.. They should help out the numbers to exceed 20,000 copies..
Last time I checked there was a Hakka cultural food group on FB..I will find out how much the owner of Pleco would charge to add Hakka to the existing dictionary...etc..
Hey , I’m 葉惠玲, . My ancestors are my meizhou, China , but when I visited meizhou , Though Hakka was quite similar but some words aren’t pronounced the way we used too. I’m Hakka born in India(印度)Initially there were more than 20,000 Hakka families in India , mainly in Kolkata , but most of them migrated to the western countries for a better standards of living . Now there’s barely 1000 Hakka in Kolkata .
Really appreciate this content of yours , it makes me feel so blessed to be a Hakka.
yes i have seen documentaries about chinese in kolkatta...how do you feel about india ???
Hi there. I am from Belitung, Indonesia. My ancestor was also from Meizhou, from Wuhua District to be exact. We must speak quite similar dialect.
I am very surprised when I saw documentary from Meizhou and they speak Hakka exactly as in my hometown. We have lost many vocabularies though, because of the assimilation into the indigenous society.

i didn't know my family have any relationship with Hakka until recently I found out that my late grandmother was Hakka originated from Guang Dong. With hindsight, i only realise that the family recipe from my grandma is actually a Hakka dish.

Grew up in Sabah. My mom is Chinese, my Dad is Native. Hakka is the daily conversation for most Chinese here, the same goes for the Sino, where Hakka with a thick local accent and a combination of local dialect and Malay. My Chinese side originate from KL thou, My grandfather is Hokkien who is fluent in Cantonese but not Hokkien and my Grandma is Cantonese. My Mom grew up speaking Cantonese, besides English and Malay. In my case, I am surrounded by Cantonese, Mandarin and Hakka speaking. But being a Sabahan mix-child again, not fluent in 3 of them as I have a habit to mix the 3 Chinese Dialects in 1 sentence + sometimes Malay and English languages. That's the struggle when meeting Chinese speaking from Taiwan and China, which cause them some confusion of my own Chinese language.

Great to watch your video! Thank you! I'm Malay and I studied in Chinese primary school. For Hakka dialect, I only know HAKKA WA HAKKA WA... hihihi
Heyyyy thank you Zulfahmi! Haha lain kali boleh cakap, ngai mm hiao kong hakka wa 😂
@@FearlessPassport Ngai mm hiao Kong Hakka wa... Hehehehehehehehe nice....
Hi Moi Zai , my landlady in the UK are Hakka I don’t know which variant of Hakka they are but now I found out their accent is same as yours . They are Sabahan.I always think Hakka sound a bit like Cantonese and slight of hokkien . And also Hakka sound like Korean too .
Hehe usually Sabahan are Fui Chew or Moi Yen, I cant generalise for all. Many Malaysian youtuber from Sabah that speak Hakka also similar like mine :)
@@FearlessPassport ah thank you 😊so it’s fui chew or moi yen
@@FearlessPassport Hi, Sabah Hakka here (Moi Yen). Your dialect sounds exactly the same as mine in all the examples you used except “ where do you want to go.” We use 哪行 instead of 哪位 ✌️
Moi zai 👍🏻
@@FearlessPassport Yes, according to my friend who still have relative in China, most of the hakka in Sabah are from the Moi Yen variant.
I'm glad I stumbled upon this video and really enjoyed it, smiling throughout the part where Moi Zai speaks samples of our Hakka dialect. My father was Tai Pu (Da Pu?), mother a Cantonese. Since my mother was a housewife, my brother and I grew up speaking Cantonese at home, and my late grandma (father's side) used to scold me "Ngi heh Hakka ngin em hiao kong hak wa!!". I understand when people converse in Hakka, but I can't speak the dialect fluently due to lack of use. Wish I can speak it better.
Thanks for your interesting and informative video.
Love this video. I am Hokkien but I grew up surrounded by hakka people in Kuching and later in Penang. It is always nice to know where our culture is linked to. Keeo the nice video coming and I can't wait for the Hokkien one.
太爱你的视频了!客家话听起来好美! 懂普通话和广东话的人,听懂客家方言没压力。希望看到更多这么精致的视频!
Moi Chai! You are so cute. Give you lots of 👍👍👍👍👍 👍.
Btw, all are still Hakka and our ancestors were from same area in China. We are ONE BIG FAMILY no matter where and everywhere. ❤❤❤
Yes :) nga diu heh chi gah ngin, tai gah ting. Hahaha :P
@@FearlessPassport ting yau ting lah! No ting No fun. 😄😄😄🥰
For Hakka dialects' variety, me as a Fukkenese(or Fujianese) completely understand you.
We have different dialects depends on different region, sometimes we feel difficult to understand each other as well.
My grand father was imigrant from China Guangdong Longchuan(龙川)to Malaysia,during world war 2 , my grand fahter was study in Shanghai as a doctor and joint the Nationalist Militiary (国民党军)in year 1939,fight with Japanese in Changsha(长沙)and Hengyang(衡阳)。After the Japnanese was defeated, my grand father don't want to joint the civil war between Communist and Nationalist, he escape to Hong Kong and ship to Singapore,finally he bought an estate in Johor Malaysia and married with my grand mum.
I love your videos! I'm from Bangka Island. The locals in my hometown speak Khek. I grow up in Jakarta and still able to speak kek although my Khek skill is very limited (I'd say is bad). My pronunciation is very bad that my cousins and my aunts sometimes say they don't understand me. Lol. Your videos are very educational and I learn about my root from you.
Keep up the good work! 🤩😁
I would love to see how people in Bangka island speak Hakka. Must be interesting❤ you can start learning hehe, good to communicate with orang tua with dialek✨
@@FearlessPassport it's similar to Hakka from Singkawang although we have a slightly different dialect as well. You can make a video about it too. 🤩
Oh dear, you are just amazing in this simple and yet informative video. I stumbled upon this video and I loved it. Great job sweet lady !!
I am a Hakka ngin with ancestry in Da Pu. This is an awesome coverage on Hakka tribe. You put great effort into this video. Do Xia!
Hello to fellows Hakka ngin. I'm one but my Hakka dialect has been heavily "contaminated" with locals' languages. As the author said I mostly can only understand my Hakka group in Bangka island when we communicate. When encounter with other Hakka groups from other region such as Kalimantan and Belitung for example, I have to struggle to understand them. Nonetheless, I understand them at least 50%
Talking about Hakka variants. I was in Fujian 冠豸山(客家第一神山) I swear I couldn't understand a word of Hakka they speak. On the same trip I also went to 梅县checked out the Hakka Museum and had no problem understand their Hakka😂
Really informative dear! No doubt many Chinese Indo forgot their ancestor and even their culture, with this video helping many Chinese Indo relearn their culture 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah you know political oppression wanted all Chinese to bear indo names and the culture was repressed especially during the dictator era.
Best explanation of Hakka history and culture I have ever seen. Terima kasih!
I thank You for your work and the effort you made to create this video.
多謝。
Terima kasih.
This channel deserve more
THANK YOU for your Kind Words ❤
Great video. Very educational. I'm learning more about so many different Chinese everyday
I'm glad my video gave you some extra information ☺
Way to go girl 👍🏼 ! Good video about our people ...the Hakka people ... more of this please 👍🏼
Thanks very much and appreciated for your kind explanation and demonstration of hakka dialects (Many thanks to all your friends/relatives who helped in the demonstrations too:). To my surprise, I didn't realize that Ho Po Hakka (河婆客) does sound quite similar to Fui Jiu (惠州客) Hakka in so many ways. Thanks very much for showing that and glad to hear familiar hakka speaking from a very beautiful country of Indonesia.
To be honest, there aren't that many like you the younger generations that are still able to speak hakka (or any other dialects of their own) fluently. Not to mention that you are from Indonesia which is another shock and eye opening for many. Good job hakka girl, keep up the good work and God bless you. By the way, your Mandarin sounds very good too. I believe you are very well educated in many languages including Chinese apart from Bahasa Indonesia and English. 好一个有才华的客家女孩。继续加油哦!愿上帝赐福给妳:)
I really appreciate you too Sis, as i also live in Jakarta and knowing that the Mandarin language and other Chinese dialects were also suffering from being banned for 32 years when Order Baru was in power ! You are great Sis who is still young but could still master Hakka dialect ! Not easy...
Btw, as addition, Aceh has more Hakka people than Medan, and each Chinese people in Aceh speaks Hakka each other as daily communication language, while Medan has more Hokkien than Hakka, Medan also has Canton people(廣府) whose ancestor usually was from 廣東台山、新會、開平、恩平、鶴山 and other regions, like 廣東南海、高要、四會、清遠。Hakka people living in Aceh use 梅縣 style Hakka Dialect, while Hakka people in Kalimantan use 海陸豐 style Hakka dialect more than 梅縣 style 's one.
Wish to interview each Hakka from different places. So interesting! Are you from Acheh too? My grandparent kubur written they are from 鹤山,we all speak Hakka and Cantonese :)
@@FearlessPassport @Fearless Passport I am from Medan, but I can't understand Hakka. I can speak Cantonese, Taishanese(四邑話), Hokkien and Mandarin, English, Malay/Indonesian fluently. 鶴山 is same as 東莞, some regions are lived by Hakka people, some regions are lived by Canton people.
Wow, very informative! Please make a video about Teochew people too in the future! :D
I'd try!!👍
Omg!!! U brighten my day! Its been awhile i heard hakka! I so wanna grab someone n speak to
This was super interesting, I love learning about different Chinese languages spoken in these regions. Thanks for posting!
This is interesting. We usually know chinese but dont know theres various of dialects and they came from different origin. Please do more videos ❤
Thanks for watching! ✨✨
I from Sabah, Borneo Island.. My father is Original Chinese Hakka and my mother is local original Sabah Dusun Tatana. So i am mix Chinese Hakka + Dusun Tatana Sabah .
Thank for great content about Hakka Ngin
* Can you sharing which place in Indonesia have a lot Hakka Ngin . Thank
Close to you, Sabah, Singkawang & Pontianak a lots of Hakka people there. Bangka & Belitung Island. Jakarta used to be dominated by Moiyan Hakka but now they are scattered.

Excellent! Thank you very much for posting!!!❤
Great work on all these subgroups. Keep it up.
Thank you for this interesting video. My mother was Hakka and my Father is local HK Chinese but our ancestors came from mainland China over 400 years ago as we
have kept the linage since our ancestors' left their village in 廣東. I understand Hakka as I have lived with my grandparents from my mother's side for about a year, as the villagers most speak Hakka amongst themselves and so I had no option but to learn. While I was living there, I came across someone who spoke another Hakka Dialect and I believe it was Mu-Yin Hakka. There are similarities there but there are also very differences in some pronunciations. Your Hakka is the same as my mother's Hakka and I understand what you are saying.
Do Hakka people in Hong Kong still speaks Hakka at home?
The most disorganised sub-language... The Hakkas & its culture will go extinct unless patrilinealistic rule is enacted as not too dilute the culture by false claimants "mother is Hakka" thus thinly pass down the culture, only Hakka fathers know how to be a true Hakka... (Historically the Hakkas adopted unwanted orphaned/abandoned female babies from other Chinese tribes, because Chinese culture at that time valued girls "less", where in Hakka culture the girls can be married off to Hakka boys to produce offsprings also to work the field) taking this patrilineal rule into account therefore the real number of true Hakka are less than perceived maybe in the 10 - 20 millions only, as opposed to 100 millions as previously believed, let alone Hakka speakers, which number far less maybe in the 2 - 6 millions only (all levels of proficiency as Hakka dialects so varied & rare, even rarer among younger generations of "Hakkas") worldwide... Extinction is very real (thus governments with ties to the culture, mostly in Asia, make efforts to preserve the culture as much as they can through government run programs etc)... much like the fictitious fallen extinct race, The Saiyans, in Dragon Ball manga...
Then you're not a "True Hakka"... Hakka culture / lineage is preserved patrilinealistically as not to pass down the culture too thinly by intermixing with "other" culture from the father side of that culture (fathers have strong influence)... and becoming false Hakka claimants... do the lineage tree with patrilineal culture emphasis, you will see & get it...
One of the best quality videos by FP 🇲🇾👍 clearly she working hard and always improve the video quality and content 🤟
Fearless Passport, thank you for the well presented video about Hakka people. Hakka's are very dynamic and hard working people.
Your parents & ancestors must be proud of you. Curiosity is the beginning of attaining knowledge. You researched your own identity & people. Keep travelling, exploring &discovering..
Hello, Hakka Moi. I'm also Hakka to myself. My father Hakka from Kampar, Perak. Although we don't speak Hakka so often due to my mother is Cantonese but I can understand. I just realize that Indonesia have Hakka, good to know. Thank you for sharing.
I went to Ipoh once and while we were speaking Hakka at a shop, suddenly the shop owner talked to us in Haka haha. What a wonderful experience. From Sabah here ;)
@Adam Tou, you'll be surprised how local and traditional are the Indonesian Chinese. They speak more native dialect than us, especially Hokkien. I was surprised too when I was there. Its a great experience :)
you will be more surprised down in west kalimantan you will find more hakka people, from pontianak to singkawang and along the border road people will speak hakka
I love your video, so intelligently informative, terima kasih cici
Terima kasih atas dukungan anda🙏 terima kasih koko
Tq for your explanation. I now have a better insight of the hakka descent. Long ago, I wondered why it was almost similar to my dialect and I could almost understand it. Now, I understand.
Ngai hei hakka ngin too!! Malaysian Hakka ngin. Migrated to the US and currently living in Hawai'i and started doing a search on my ancestors and my people. I did not know that the Hakka people are very diverse. It really shows how we've assimilated as "guest people" to the places our ancestors settled in. I love this video. I need to check with my dad what Hakka ngin we are. haha.
Nice to see younger generation like you keen on exploring the unique culture of Hakka. Thanks. From a Hor Por Hak
Jie jie,, ni hao... in my hometown, Bangka, hakka people speak hakka-melayu... their mixed langauge already.. but in belitung the hakka people still speak pure hakka..

Thanks, so well explained!
I have really enjoyed this video and also learned something more about Hakka. Thank you!
i am chinese from indonesia. when i was little, i never knew about 'khek' or hokkien etc. when i was youngster, i started to hear about it but still did not know the different, still is. when i was little, my parent and other elders, taught me to say 'kamsia' and 'shie shie' (sorry, if i wrote wrong), to thank you but never taught what's the different, never asked. then when i was in the plane, a taiwanese company, i heard annoucement in chinese and ended with 'kamsia'.... since then i thought 'kamsia' was a taiwanese word for 'thank you.... then i saw this video and i know now that it is a hakka word. oh, btw, although i'm chinese i do not speak chinese i just learnt little word when i was little. my family did not speak chinese, they spoke javanese when i was little, only my grandparent knew chinese.
Thank you for the good summary, Yeeven. I'm fui chew hak, from Negari Sembilan originally and now living in Kuala Lumpur.

Like your dad, I don't know what Hakka I am. I am from KL but my wife is from Sabah. Me with my Hokkien, Cantonese and bad Hakka (unused for many years) background could speak to her uncle who had a sing song Hakka My wife with only her strict & "correct" Hakka couldn't understand the uncle. Interesting video. Referred 1st by YT to your Indon/Malaysia Chinese video. Subscribed for your interesting topics
Thank you Mr. Law for your support and time in watching the videos🙏 some Hakka songs are very funny, but are gems now. I wanted to put some Hakka songs inside but afraid of the copyright strike. You can youtube search: Hakka songs Malaysia or Indonesia. You'll have a wonderful time laughing and appreciate the old times ☺☺
Indonesia not indon
Genetically some Hakka groups mixed with mountain tribes as they were driven away by the coastal people. I have heard of shehua where it is different from She language, and is a creole of Hakka and She. Much of the culture also have become localised and creolised, and are facing extinction because of being in the crossfire between sinocentrists, traditionalist puritans and fully assimilated ultranationalists.
sorry, I have never heard this before. Do you have any reliable reference ?
畲族she tribe speaks like Hakka, that is right. One of the Taiwan univrersity has studied about them. I forgot the lecturer's name.
@@user-lx9zi5nl2m我是广东人, 理论上畲族是属于苗瑶语系,但畲语已经濒临灭绝了。目前畲族讲得畲话都是客家话,偶尔掺杂一些畲土话。畲族大部分居住在客家人聚居的地区。畲族也叫做山客。当中原的汉族(今日的客家族群)迁徙到南方,沿海地区已经被闽人和粤人居住。所以客家人只能居住在比较内陆和山区,内陆和山区已经有畲族居住。有部分客家人和畲族通婚。这也不奇怪。闽人粤人也有跟百越族通婚。按照DNA鉴定南方汉族有30%母系是百越族。百越族群不是一个单一民族。
I agree very much with this hypothesis. Like the Bai ethnic people, they are not Han Chinese in terms of ancestry, but the Bai language is so heavily influenced by Chinese dialects it could be misidentified as a Han Chinese dialect. Similar scenarios have happened in the well-recorded ethnogenesis of the Pingpu (平浦)people in Taiwan, who were Taiwanese aborigines that took up Han Chinese identity after generations of assimilation process.
Earliest Hakka people were probably She people who were assimilated by surrounding Han Chinese and eventually gave up their She identity due to pressures.
@@coinvestnet no Origins of Hakka are not She people, they are from central China plain , u can find Hakka in many provinces in China

In Kuching, our hakka dialect is similar to Singkawang & Pontianak. I guess our ancestors came from the same district/country in Meizhou. I myself is a Kaying Hakka, but we speak Hopo Hakka.
In Sabah part, it's very true more than 50% of Chinese in that state are Hakka . I grow up with them and learn a few basic conversations enough to talk among the Hakka speaking friends. Only in Sandakan there is Cantonese dialect a bit, Mandarin language spoken during official gathering, in school, official event, otherwise mostly speak Hakka.
Thank you for making this video which answered of my curiosity about the Hakka people and the language itself. I'm not a Hakka because my dad isn't one but my mum is a Da Bu Hakka(we pronounced it as Tai Bu Hak) and hakka is my main spoken language at home.
What I noticed is that your Hakka pronunciation is maybe 80-90% similar to mine but when I spoke to my other half's relatives who are Ho Poh Hak in Kuching, I totally don't understand them at all. After dissecting slowly, I found that we speak most words similarly but with a hugely differing intonation.
Before MCO, my hakka uncle actually went to Da Bu to visit the actual home of my grandfather. He recorded some videos of the locals speaking and found our hakka has been diluted and differ from them already 😅 I attributed it to my upbringing. Besides my mum, I was brought up by my grandma(tai pu Hak iirc) and my hakka speaking babysitter of unknown hakka origin.
Some difference between my own hakka and generally the rest is the pronunciation of words containing 'a' will be pronounced with an 'o' myself. Example:
Eat rice - sit fon
Eat already? - ngi sit bau mang/mou
Haven't eat - ngai mang sit fon
How are you - ngi hou mou
I don't know - ngai mm Di dou / ngai mm sit
I can't understand hakka - ngai mm sit ten Hak/hakka fa
I haven't arrived - ngai mang dou
Thank you - mm goi / tor sia/chia
I always thought kam siah is Hokkien 😅
