What?
Did I say the same thing?
Yes, you did.
I don't understand at all.
I thought it was Japanese.
Hello, everyone. I'm Ayan-chan.
I'm Rui, and I write stories about Japanese couples on Instagram.
Nice to meet you.
Today, I'm going to talk about Chinese dialects with Rui.
Rui, do you know how many dialects there are in China?
There are many.
There are many dialects,
but the most common dialect in China is the seven-dialect dialect.
There are eight-dialect, ten-dialect, and fifteen-dialect dialects.
There are many kinds of dialects,
but the most popular one is the seven-dialect dialect.
What dialects do you know?
The most familiar ones are
Cantonese,
Shanghainese,
Chinese,
Hokkien,
and the Hokkien dialect.
Yes, the Bing dialect.
What else?
What dialects are there in the southwest?
Xinang dialect.
I'll explain it to you later.
In fact, the southwest dialect is also one of the most popular dialects in China.
What else?
There are some dialects in Kunan Province.
Yes, yes, yes.
There are two more.
The northeast dialect is also one of the most popular dialects in China.
It's the same dialect as the Sichuan dialect.
It's the same dialect.
Some people in Canton Province also use this dialect.
Hakka.
Zhangxi dialect.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's the northern dialect.
The northern dialect is also called the Kanghua dialect.
The dialect that represents Guanghua is around Beijing.
The standard language is also in the Kanghua dialect.
And the Sichuan and Kunan provinces are in the southwestern Kanghua dialect.
And the northeast dialect is also in the Kanghua dialect.
It's the same dialect.
That's why Sichuan people speak Sichuan dialect.
It's easier for people from all over the country to understand.
It's just that the intonation is different.
I think at least 50% of people can understand it.
That's right.
People from Shanghai and Guangzhou speak this dialect.
When I first entered Shanghai University,
I couldn't understand any of the dialects spoken by people from Shanghai.
Me too.
There are seven or eight more dialects in Fujian.
And they don't understand each other.
And the Cantonese dialect of Rui.
Cantonese is a very famous dialect in China.
But I don't know what people from other places are saying.
I don't know what people are saying.
I think the most difficult dialect to understand is
the Binhu dialect, Hakka dialect or Cantonese.
I already know Cantonese.
But I don't know Binhu dialect and Hakka dialect.
I don't know at all.
Even in the Cantonese dialect,
Binhu dialect and Hakka dialect are mixed.
Even if you say you are from the same Cantonese dialect,
you may not understand at all.
That's right.
Next, we will test how much Chinese people can understand the seven dialects of China.
You will listen to the version of speaking in different dialects of the same language.
Please speak in standard Chinese.
Let's start with Fujian.
At all?
Nothing?
I thought it was Japanese.
That's about it.
Next.
Anqi dialect. Same word?
I don't understand at all.
I don't understand a word.
I don't understand most of the content.
I don't understand the pronunciation at all.
I don't understand what you are saying.
Anqi dialect.
What about Cantonese?
I don't understand.
Next.
Next is the teacher's dialect.
I found something.
I want to hit you.
Next.
Anqi dialect.
Are you saying the same thing?
The same thing.
I can finally understand 100% of these 10 dialects.
I can understand 100%.
Maybe I don't understand a word.
No way.
I don't understand at all.
But you are using quite local words.
You are not just changing the intonation.
I'm not switching.
Next.
If I don't get all of these right, I'll be in trouble.
Next is the dialect of the north.
I just went to the street and bought some rice.
Rice.
Lastly.
Let's listen to Yui's Cantonese.
If I don't get all of these right, I'll be in trouble.
I don't understand if it's the standard Cantonese.
I don't know.
Is it alright?
I don't understand.
So this is not the Cantonese.
I understand a bit.
My father went to the city and bought something.
I don't know what.
They are using the same words.
Wow, that's crazy.
Let's reveal the correct answer.
The sound sample is...
The Cantonese is not from Kaohsiung.
It's from Nanning City, Chihuahua Province.
Nanning City is a little bit different.
My father went out of town today and bought rice.
Let's listen to it again after knowing this.
My father went out of town today and bought some rice.
He bought some rice.
My father went out of town today and bought some rice.
But I think the last dialect of Kaohsiung is easy to understand.
That's right.
And I can understand the dialect of Jiuquan 100%.
I don't understand at all.
But my father is called Laohe in Sichuan dialect.
My father went out of town today and bought some rice.
He bought some rice.
How many percent of Chinese people can understand the same dialect?
90% of Chinese people can understand the same dialect.
What about the rest?
Zero.
Really?
Really zero.
I was surprised.
I was wondering what he was talking about.
I thought he was talking about me.
I understood that.
Next, I'd like to introduce you to the 7 dialects of China.
What is the most popular dialect among the 7 dialects of China?
Isn't it a deep one?
It's the Kanwa dialect I mentioned earlier.
That's easy.
What is the second most popular dialect?

That's right.
What is the most difficult dialect among the dialects of China?
For me, it's the Minnan dialect.
