[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Fitting in at YY is a tough row to hoe for dialect speakers raising little dialect speakers. [b] I grew to dislike YY events where I'd invariably be put on the spot to explain holiday traditions etc. to parents who weren't aware that Cantonese is a southern Chinese dialect before I told them.[/b] Lots of these at YY. And I grew to dislike the profoundly American principal; no dislike is too tame a word. So I'll settle for MS and HS Mandarin in MoCo with a strong Cantonese accent for DC. There aren't nearly enough of us in the District OP to change this calculus. Maybe if we'd been involved from the get go, but we weren't. [/quote] Uh, wrong. Mandarin is a dialect of Cantonese, not the other way around. :D This has been written about extensively. You are cantonese? I can't believe you can be ignorant about this. :shock: [/quote]
