You are right. When he said that his mother tongue is Teochew and Mandarin, I realised that he does not know what he is talking about. This guy firat appeared in the old SBF in support of Chee. Initially I thought because of the way he argued his position, he was actually to try to make Chee look bad intentionally.

This is the type of
 
And, most of us grew up speaking and/or understanding at least 2 languages and 2 dialects. But sadly, that's looking like an ancient generation now.

sad but true. most of my friends (20-odd) can't understand a word of any dialect save vulgarities. it looks even more depressing when you consider the the next generation. all this talk and debate in this forum will lead to nothing unless we do something to preserve our dialects. it's one thing watching tvb dramas in an artificially dubbed language, it's another when the language skills of the audience dictate that as a necessity.

pls dun try to avoid the real and valid issues inthis thread. i know you are trying to siam ..... :D

don't be childish okay? one could recite the dao de jing, and dao de jing is written thousand over years ago. so your silly idea that only dialect could connect to chinese root thousand over years ago, is pure bullshit.

but i have to give it to u. its premium bullshit, creme de la creme bullshit. many of the people i believe, they go ga ga on what u had claim. that dialect would connect chinese culture thousand over years, and mandarin could only connect to 300 years of chinese culture. thats the greatest baloney of the year by a forum member 2009 here in this forum.

dialects approximate to the sounds of old and middle chinese and gives you a better appreciation of the ancient text...since you cannot handle shijing, i give you another example from lao zhi...
