So are you Han Chinese?should never have stopped and should have fucked the goddamn speak Mandarin campaign. The only thing it has achieved is more Singapore dollars flowing to China and more China people coming to Singapore. Evergrande much?
Dialects are such poor names for our native languages. As if Mandarin is the only legitimate "language". Even the name "Mandarin" is from India.
It's a constructed language from Beijing dialect which Beijingers actually think is garbage. So many Beijing people have told me that if you go to Beijing and speak Mandarin they will treat you like shit. So why learn it? To be more "Chinese"? What a joke.
Our ancestors refused to speak anything other than their native dialects. We called ourselves t'ng lang and tong yan. All to reflect that we were true Chinese and not some Mongolian bastard people trying to speak a version of Chinese that spread along with the Mongolian influence in China.
supposedly.So are you Han Chinese?
all because the old man had a hard on for China.I vaguely remember the bad old days when listeners of Rediffusion dialect radio were treated like criminals.

Never forget: the PAP govt is the worst destroyer of heritage and nature, but pretends to be a champion and conserver of them.
there's still hope. First of all, there's a huge reservoir of Hokkien in the army. Teochew in the fish markets that I know of. Cantonese no need to say. Now all it takes is an organized effort.It is definitely good to bring back chinese dialects, but I think it is a little bit too late. All the dialect roots were removed, remaining those are also dying off.
