I am from Fuzhou, Fujian! I always thought that the dialect was mainly spoken in Fujian. But then I noticed in a lot of videos that a lot of people from different provinces had learned the dialect to. And also lots of foreign students learn Mandarin, and go on to learn Cantonese, but if they continue to learn dialects they learn Fuzhounese, or other common dialects. So this video is super cool! ❤️
From ho tie and bo ho tie, I can tell linking is also normal in Putian Min Chinese. /Ho-lie/ is linked for "delicious" when usually you can also say /ho tie/. I speak Hokchiu/Hokchew/Foochow/Fuzhounese, very similar to Putian Min Chinese.
Do you happen to know which dialect is my grandparents'? They say ho ciak (not ho liek) for delicious, and bai ciak for not delicious. Never heard them say mbo ho ciak though.
My father grew up with this dialect but over the years he's forgotten it since barely any one else knows it. Would be great to keep his heritage alive through language and thank you for this video!
Fujian Province has many mutually unintelligible languages. Every valley have their own different dialect. Sad part is that many Chinese languages are dying in China.
It's sounds a lot closer to Quanzhou Hokkien, only accent differ. My Grandparents were from Quanzhou and I can understand some of the Putian words on the video.
I am trying to learn Putian. This is one of the most likely style and type of video. I'm in South Philippines with Buddhist monks and nuns from Fujian. They speak to each other in Putian, so I'd really like to learn it. This is a big help, i hope you and others make more like it. I'm actually English myself.
KAMSIAH for doing this video to keep our Hokkien Dialect Heng Hwa Alive! Please do more so the younger generation will know their ancestral language.pl keep background music softer. Thank You
I loved this video! Thanks a lot! Now I am subscriber and fan! A very interesting subject - dialect! :) Do this dialects have a writing system or they learn just by listening?
I liked how you use "language" for the southern dialects, cause they're literally so different from each other and mandarin that they should really be considered different languages lol.
@@johndoe5346 They are different languages! The Chinese government calls them dialects for political reasons. If southern Chinese "dialects" are considered dialects then Japanese and Korean should be considered one too and you know goddamn well it ain't.
A beautiful video, not least because of the obvious delight of the participants. Kudos to all involved, and here's hoping that you post more. One small comment: the background music makes it more difficult to hear the dialogue clearly. (And to be honest, the repetition is a bit... tedious.)
Hey guys, my boyfriend is from Fuqing, his grandmother speaks Putianhua, Is there somebody who would like to do language exchange? I really wanna learn basic of that dialect
😍 I assume by Bahasa Putian you meant Bahasa Hinghwa? My Gua Ma and Gua Kong, ie maternal grandparents, are second-generation Singaporeans. Their nenek moyang were from Fujian. They did not speak Min Nan Oe but a Bahasa Cina that sounds like the language the Bibi in the video is speaking. Oh I miss my Gua Ma and Gua Kong. Gua Ma passed away in 2006 of cancer. She was in her 70s. Gua Kong just passed on in March this year of complications from advanced dementia. He was 96. 😔 🙏🏻 Gua Ma, Gua Kong, peng ann, peng ann.
My daughter's father is from Putian, we might go there soon to visit daddy and her grandparents, I'm going to be in trouble with the language haha oh lord help me!.
so what I pick up off hand there is a mix of hokkien and cantonese in the sound English : very good hokkien(min): jin hoh cantonese(yue): hoh yie English: no good hokkien(min): boh hoh cantonese(yue) mmm hoh yie english: I love hokkien: wah ai canto: ngor oi
Hi Miss, Eng Choon is Fujian the Real HOKKEIN Dialect to me...Putian Dialect sound like Pigdin to me! But please do not take this as an offence though to dampen your cheerful spirit, Pretty Lass!
Putian is not Hokkien. It is a dialect of its own. Putianese people originated from Guāng Prefecture (光州) in what is now Xinyang, Henan province and migrated to the present day area of Putian many centuries ago.
@@janemarple5621 Thanks for your reply. I am Full Blooded Hokkien Chinese, my grandparents migrated to Malaysia from Fujian, China at the turn of the 19th Century. No wonder I cannot understand Putian which is also a Dialect in Fujian due to migration.
It depends from where. My family is from West Kalimantan province and speak Cantonese, Hakka, and Teochew. I know families from North Sulawesi, Riau Islands, South Sumatra, and North Sumatra that speak Chinese. Some even know Hinghwa, Hainanese, or Hokchiu

Is Fuzhou dialect same as Putian dialect?
@@sho9214 Nope! They are different and mutually unintelligible. Fuzhounese is an eastern min dialect, while putian dialect is it's own subgroup.

Ye me too
I am Fuzhounese from MyanMe.

@@jessicag630 sounds like min nan or what they call hokkien in english.
Some of it sound similar but it's not the same. We don't say bo ho lie in fuzhounese we simply say meh ho lie lol.
Can you please make more Fujian dialect videos? These are so fascinating, and it's very difficult to find anything online like this. Thank you!
Sure I will make more!
Zhōu yǔ Qiáo yes, it is really difficult to find something like this! :) I am glad to have found her channel. :)
Thank you so much of your efforts. What's your parents dialect. Don't tell me you are like a typical Singaporean only know Mandarin.

Omg. My mother tongue language is also the Fujian dialect so I understood everything your mother-in-law was saying. Real sport for taking part!
Fujian Province has many mutually unintelligible languages. Every valley have their own different dialect. Sad part is that many Chinese languages are dying in China.
Yes same as Hakka , so many dialects and not all intelligible
It's sounds a lot closer to Quanzhou Hokkien, only accent differ. My Grandparents were from Quanzhou and I can understand some of the Putian words on the video.
Same.
Putian was originally part of Minnan, read below.

A lot of Chinese languages have some connections. It isn’t abnormal to find some similarities even with Korean and Japanese some match with Chinese.

Good upload! Make some more of this video clip for sharing to my group. TQ
I'm a linguist, also Singaporean and have both Fuzhou and Min Nan (Hokkien) roots :) thanks for this video
I loved this video! Thanks a lot! Now I am subscriber and fan! A very interesting subject - dialect! :) Do this dialects have a writing system or they learn just by listening?
I believe it's mostly passed down and learnt by listening.
Lai Yi Xuan wow 真厉害👍🏽 Please, do more videos!

My great grandfather from putian also
I‘m a German girl and I have no idea how I came here ... I don’t understand a word hahaha

Omg I understand a lot of these 😂😂😂 got parents that speak putian a lot growing up
Idk which Hokkien I speak but I only understand A ma and Gin ni as in 今年
North China: One dialect per province
South China: 5 languages in one province.
Well those people were from Central china then got pushed to southern territories since the mongolian and Manchurian invasion
I liked how you use "language" for the southern dialects, cause they're literally so different from each other and mandarin that they should really be considered different languages lol.
Lmao so true. Like in Canton province

I understood none of that lol my family is from changle I think it might be a different dialect lol
I’m actually from PuTian and I’m fluent in the dialect!
莆田哪里的
me too !
I Love China! From Brasil
i can understand most of it since my parent and grandparent speak that language
Same intonations as me
莆田话/莆仙话属于闽南语系。闽南语四大语系有 泉漳话, 莆仙话，潮汕话 和 琼雷话。泉漳话就是大家所知的福建话或闽南话。
莆田不屬於閩南語系，是閩語的另外一個分支，跟海南話，雷州話一樣

Majority of Fujian Ren in the Philippines don't speak this dialect. O am not familiar with it. My father doesn't speak this. So very interesting.
“吃”饭 vs 不好“吃” 的吃发音不一样。（th vs l）
“钱” vs 多少“钱” 的钱发音不一样。（j vs l）
因为，莆田话里连读要变音（辅音）
they are so cute!!!!

莆田的福州话跟马尾亭江这边的福州话还口音还是很不一样的。长乐那边还没什么障碍，不过视频里老奶奶的莆田口音要细细听才懂她说什么。
As a half blooded hinghua, I like this
莆田話的字，放在不同句子裡就會變音。
Is this same as Heng Hua or Xinghua dialect?
If you check Wikipedia it says Puxian min, Hwing Hwa etc. I guess there’s different ways to coin it. I just say Putian language.
@@kinghuang6657 my hakka aunt married a Heng Hua man in 1970s and now she can make Heng hua noodle 🍝
I have friend from Fujian, Putian. Love her much but....
😍 I assume by Bahasa Putian you meant Bahasa Hinghwa? My Gua Ma and Gua Kong, ie maternal grandparents, are second-generation Singaporeans. Their nenek moyang were from Fujian. They did not speak Min Nan Oe but a Bahasa Cina that sounds like the language the Bibi in the video is speaking.

有些词跟福州话有点像 有一些完全听不懂
Cuz they aren’t the same all the way. I’m from Putian and I cannot comprehend fuzhuo dialect either.

Because your surname suggests you are Hakka descent, Hakka dialect and Heng Hua dialect are totally unintelligible
Wow you are spot on!! 👍🏼
@@LaiYiXuan I am a linguist/historian. Do you play gigs?
Unfortunately, most of Indonesian chinese can't speak chinese.
It depends from where. My family is from West Kalimantan province and speak Cantonese, Hakka, and Teochew. I know families from North Sulawesi, Riau Islands, South Sumatra, and North Sumatra that speak Chinese. Some even know Hinghwa, Hainanese, or Hokchiu
@@liongkienfai104 Hollie is spoken in Medan Itiau andJakarta
I can, we speak hokkian( fujian language in medan) but my family ( both side) from putian, my grandmother always speak putian language with us.
