- When we talk about the Chinese language, do you only think about Mandarin or Cantonese? Of course, these two might be the most popular Chinese language in USA. In fact, there are many more than those two languages and dialects in China. Or we can say, in China, most of cities has their own unique dialect.
- Chinese is a sui generis language, and there is just distant related in different Chinese language. But no matter Cantonese or Mandarin, they do think themselves as same language--Chinese. Then that's the reason why Chinese has more speakers than any other language in the modern world. (Norman,1)
- However, with the popularization of Putonghua (Mandarin), there are more people, especially the young children, only can speak Mandarin. Then some of the regional dialects are disappeared or will disappear in the future
- Then, we will talk more about Chinese dialect and the disappearance of Chinese dialect.
