A short history of the Chinese Cantonese language
Cantonese is the language of those people living in the southeast of China. In places such as Hong Kong, Macau, Guandong, Guagxi and Hainan. It is also spoken by Cantonese who have emigrated to live in places like Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand.
Cantonese is the language that is used for politics, business and media in these places. Written Cantonese appeared in the 17th century and there are two ways of reading it; formally and colloquially. The formal version is very similar to standard Chinese, or Mandarin.
Taishanese is a dialect which is very close to Cantonese and it is spoken by many of the Chinese who emigrated to North America in the late 19th century. The differences between Cantonese and the dialect Taishanese is mainly in the pronunciation. Cantonese is not generally taught in schools, for example children in Hong Kong are taught in Mandarin, or Putonghua as it is called.
People who can write in Chinese, can normally learn to write in Japanese more easily. This is because many of the characters have the same meaning.
