Mondo Tourism Updated on 2024-02-22

"I feel like I'm speaking Mandarin. ”

I don't know if you feel this way, but I always think that there is no difference between my hometown dialect and Mandarin, and it can even be said that it is exactly the same.

But what is said is heard by othersIt can be said that "I don't know anything", and I can't understand a word.

And there are several dialects in our country, and outsiders can't understand a word at all, and their conversations are almost like "encrypted".

It is estimated that when many people see Cantonese, they will wonder in their hearts, how is it possible that Cantonese is also in an incomprehensible dialect?

After all, since the first decade of the last century, Hong Kong dramas have entered everyone's field of vision, and the Hong Kong dramas at that time can be described as popular "everyone knows and everyone knows".This has also made many people aware of the existence of the Cantonese language.

When watching too many TV series, many people will follow to learn some Cantonese, maybe some difficult ones can't be learned, but the most basic ones can still be understood.

For example, the black (happy) blessing (happy) thunder (you) sung by beyond, this song has been one of the must-order golden songs of KTV until now.

Although it is said that everyone has not systematically studied Cantonese,But when you listen to it a lot, you will naturally sing two lines.

But what we don't know is that the Cantonese language that comes out of the TV series is actually equivalent to "Mandarin in Cantonese", which can basically be understood by most people.

But in fact, there are many different ways of expressing Cantonese, and many people who try to learn Cantonese have almost all been questioned by the locals about their pronunciation.

It can be said that if you learn Cantonese, you can't understand Cantonese in the way of Hanyu Pinyin, because it doesn't work at all.

If you ask the locals how exactly they should learn Cantonese and then pronounce it correctly, they probably won't be able to answer this question.

If you want to evaluate the most difficult dialect, then Wenzhou dialect must be undisputed.

In 2013, Wenzhou dialect was spontaneously selected by netizens as "one of the top ten most difficult dialects".This is also enough to see the "high difficulty" of Wenzhou dialect.

For Wenzhou people, people who can't speak Wenzhou are treated as "outsiders", so to speak, whether they can speak Wenzhou is the biggest evidence to judge a person's identity.

However, in fact, for the locals of Wenzhou, they can be regarded as "the most familiar strangers".

What's going on here?

In a certain episode of the variety show "Everyday Upward", the director team made a special program about Wenzhou and invited some guests from Wenzhou.

In this episode, the most impressive,It should be that a few Wenzhou people can't communicate in Wenzhou dialect smoothly.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are even times when people from the two villages here do not communicate very smoothly because they do not understand each other.

In an American drama, they even called Wenzhou dialect "the language of the devil", because almost all the translators on it could not translate the meaning of these words.

To give you a very simple example, in most places, I wish you all a happy new year, good health, and a prosperous new yearThe phrase "family happiness" should be very similar to Mandarin.

But when it comes to Wenzhou dialect, it has its own saying: "Just the big girl Sanikalu!" Sante G expand! Son-in-law! Yugu f! ”

For most people, it is estimated that just looking at these words is a headache, because it has no logic, it is simply the same as "Book from Heaven".

Not only that, Wenzhou dialect is also very fond of saying "anti-words", the anti-words mentioned here,It is the kind that really reverses a word.

Here, the bustle should be said to be lively, and the slippers should be said to be ......

It is estimated that for a foreigner, the moment he heard Wenzhou dialect, all the words he had learned before could not be used.

For many people, Chaoshan is a very mysterious place.

Its mystery is not because of the location or the scenery, but because of the language.

Some people say,The sky is not afraid of the earth, and the Chaoshan people are afraid of talking about their hometown.

This is enough to see how "incomprehensible" Chaoshan dialect is.

Among the top ten most difficult dialects in China selected by netizens, there is a place for Chaoshan dialect.

In fact, Chaoshan dialect is one of the oldest and most special dialects in China today, because it retains many characteristics of ancient Chinese.

But it is precisely because it is very distinctive, outsiders can't understand and can't learn at all, Chaoshan locals feel that speaking Chaoshan dialect is very cordial, but outsiders listen to it with a confused face.

Because it has a total of eight tones, which are flat and in, each divided into yin and yang,Learning these tones alone is already very complex.

In addition, people need to constantly change the order and pitch of words when speaking normally, which makes it even more difficult to learn Chaoshan dialect.

Not only that, but outsiders also call Chaoshan dialect "learning old", which actually means that you can't learn to learn oldThis is enough to see how difficult it is to speak in Chaoshan.

When it comes to Hainan, it is estimated that the first thing that many people think of is the scene of "blue sea and blue sky".

However, many people will find that they can't understand the local language at all after arriving in HainanIt's like going to a foreign country, it sounds foggy.

The biggest feature of Hainan dialect is that it gives people the illusion that you can understand it, but in the end, you don't hear a word.

When we listen to the Hainan people,In fact, it feels a bit Thai, and there are many similarities between the two.

For example, the speed of speech is fast, and there are a lot of "chirping" sounds, but without exception, I can't understand every word.

In Hainan, there is a kind of tiredness called "liu", a kind of eating called "plus moei", a kind of slippers called "crooked big", and a kind of bragging, which is called "car cannon".

These words sound very interestingBut if you go to communicate with the locals in Hainan, you still don't understand.

For many local dialects, the pronunciation is basically similar to Mandarin, and if you listen carefully, you can still understand it.

But this routine doesn't work at all in front of Hainanese, whether you use pinyin to mark or use "homophonic stalks", you can't break the "tight spell" of Hainanese.

When we were learning English, it was a foreign language, but it had letters and spellingsIt's also very logical to read.

But this is not the case with Hainanese.

If no one teaches it, then it is estimated that as an outsider, it is estimated that he will not be able to understand it after staying there for decades.

You must know that our country has a history of thousands of years, and the inheritance of these cultures is actually a witness to history.
