    I bet you're not a Cantonese speaker.
    You just wanna persuade people to study Mandarin.
    No need to make yourself sound neutral.
    Comparing Mandarin and Cantonese is just like English and Italian.
    Of course English is spoken everywhere, why need Italian?
    But people who love Italy will learn Italian on their own.

      That’s not the point. People ask me what are the differences and which one to learn. If you don’t need this information, there are other people who find it useful🤷‍♀️

      Mandarin and Cantonese are more like not English and Italian but French and Occitan, Italian and Sicilian or German and Bavarian in comparison (the first called languages are official, the second have likelihood with national languages, are regional and it's complicated about their status (languages or dialects), speakers of the latter have both regional (Cantonese, Occitan, Sicilian, Bavarian) and common national (Chinese, French, Italian, German) identities, and it does not mean that foreigners have no need to learn regional languages, it should be useful for them to know these languages if they want to enrich their own knowledge about the whole country and especially if they are linked to the territories with regional languages).

      Exactly👍 I couldn't agree more! As I said in the video, regional languages and local dialects are part of the unique identities

      @@研究生在宇宙的各個方 I'm sorry to tell you that you've understated the situation. First of all, Cantonese has a much longer history than Mandarin (2000 years versus 300 years.) Are you sure all other languages you've listed also have a longer history than the official ones? Second, Cantonese is not just a regional dialect in China (it's called a dialect under the pressure of the CCP). Cantonese is widely spoken among the Chinese communities overseas, particularly in Canada, the US and Australia. So are you going to say that these Chinese people speak a dialect in a foreign country? There are nearly 100 million native Cantonese speakers in the world, even more than Korean, Mongolian, Malay, Italian, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Greek and so on. That's totally not comparable to those like Occitan, Sicilian and Bavarian in terms of the number of speakers.
