[quote=Anonymous]If YY kids go on to do business in China/in Mandarin, they'll find out how strongly the Chinese react to regional accents. If a kid can learn to speak Mandarin with the northern accent the school teaches, s/he will meet with greater acceptance in the professional world than not. Many dialect ABCs, and also non-Chinese, enroll their little kids in Mandarin classes for this reason, particularly in Chinatown NYC and San Fran. Wait til the upper elementary grades and the kid will have a non-northern accent, and it will be recognized every time they open their mouths. Chinese don't tend to find accent issues all that funny because of the high economic stakes involved. [/quote]
