[quote=Anonymous]The great majority of area Chinese are dialect speakers. Mandarin speakers make up a greater percentage in the NYC area, which attracts a lot of recent immigrants. Mandarin medium schools weren't the norm in most of China until the early 80s, and weren't in HK, Taiwan, Singapore, Macau etc. until the 90s. Only relatively recent immigrants generally speak Mandarin well. Dialect parents like to see structured dialect to Mandarin support. If more Chinese speaking families get involved at YY they'll ask for that type of instruction. [/quote]
