    Perhaps because Gwongdung, as well as Hongkong, are a part of China, so as Chinese, we don't think Cantonese is a special and different language. If Cantonese is different, then all other Chinese dialects are different too. This is not necessary within China. But if it goes beyond China such as America, Canda, where Cantonese is spoken a lot, people would tend to think Cantonese is a completely different language from Mandarin. In fact, as far as i know, in the 1920s or so, there was a debate that should Mandarin or Cantonese should be the national language. The result, now we know, is Mandarin. I think there is some reason that they choose Mandarin as a national language, the most important reason, i think, is that much more people understand Mandarin, while only in 广东广西 people speak Cantonese.

    i'm glad that you would like to talk about Cantonese with me...i'm learning it recently. The reason that i learn Cantonese is simple----i want to sing some Cantonese songs in KTV^^ here in Mainland you just have no opportunity and need to speak Cantonese.

    I don't know how much you know about Mandarin, but through these days' study, i  think,  Cantonese is a dialect of Chinese. Mandarin and Cantonese have a great deal of links and similarities, the words, the grammar, and, the culture. In China, there are many other influential dialects such as 吴语,闽南语(which is spoken in Fujian and Taiwan), Cantonese is just one of them...these dialects are similar to each other.
    Perhaps linguists will insist that Cantonese is a different language, but i think this is not so necessary a distinction.

    I summarized 4000 most frequently used Chinese characters and i found Cantonese pronunciations are quite easy to learn if you know Mandarin.

    Really? it is said 70% Cantonese words are the same as Mandarin...you know most Chinese speak Mandarin as well as his "home tongue". Indeed we find Mandarin is not expressive enough in some special case...

    hope all is well with you!

    No, I didn't get to talk to him personally.  When I saw Johnnie To in the restaurant, I didn't want to disturb him.  He had curtains covering his table so I figure the guy wanted his privacy.

    Well I was just really busy with work! And some FB stuff from time to time. But really I partially needed a break and also just didn't have enough time for AnD at the time (sadly). But now I am ok as my things are freeing up and I now have a little more free time. :)
