  • Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. I created this for educational purposes to spread awareness that we are diverse as a planet.

    Native to: China, Taiwan
    Region: Mainland China: Northeastern Guangdong, adjoining regions of Fujian, Jiangxi, Southern Hunan and the midwest of Sichuan
    Hong Kong: New Territories (older generations since younger Hakkas mostly speak Cantonese due to language shift and social assimilation)
    Ethnicity: Hakka
    Native speakers 47.8 million (2007)
    Language family: Sino-Tibetan
    Hakka is a language group of varieties of Chinese, spoken natively by the Hakka people throughout Southern China and Taiwan and throughout the diaspora areas of East Asia, Southeast Asia and in overseas Chinese communities around the world.
    Due to its primary usage in scattered isolated regions where communication is limited to the local area, Hakka has developed numerous varieties or dialects, spoken in different provinces, such as Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou, as well as in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Hakka is not mutually intelligible with Yue, Wu, Southern Min, Mandarin or other branches of Chinese, and itself contains a few mutually unintelligible varieties. It is most closely related to Gan and is sometimes classified as a variety of Gan, with a few northern Hakka varieties even being partially mutually intelligible with southern Gan. There is also a possibility that the similarities are just a result of shared areal features.

    OK this is definitely Xi Ien, but I think this is more southern Xi Ien than northern, so there are still some slight differences when it comes to the pronunciation and vocabulary compared to my accent. But it's equally as beautiful, I love linguistic diversity and I hope Hakka lives forever.

    Without reading the Chinese characters, I could only make out probably half of the stories. The vocab read slowly is almost 90% understood. It’s the accent that make it hard to figure out the sentences. I think Taiwanese Hakka is heavily influenced by Taiwanese or the local Hoklo/ Hokkien language

    I understand hakka of Malaysia. Though there is some difference, i can understand half of it. Nice!
    Those feel that it sounds like Japanese etc, this is bcos hakka existed since 500AD at least, one of what linguists call Middle Chinese

      1. Because it's also a middle Chinese derived language.
      2. Some Dialects of Hakka are heavily influenced by Cantonese.

      There’s also a possibility whereby many Hakkas in China live in the southern part of the country (they were once from the North). What I can say is that as a person who understands Hakka (my Hakka is different from the one in the video), I can’t understand Cantonese at all (maybe a few basic words only)

      @@ANTSEMUT1 because Japan ruled Taiwan and everyone were forced to learn Japanese. Taiwan Hakka number is in some degree similar to Japanese but it doesn't sound that similar as present-day.
      Taiwan people growth as bilingual (speak local dialect at home and speak Japanese at school) so their accent were influenced by Japanese language.
