[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] People don't speak the written language.[/quote] Well, I don't think you are a native speaker, are you? I am. I can tell you for the majority of Chinese dialect, the difference is only in pronunciation. The vocabulary is the same, the grammar is the same, the difference in pronunciation minor. There is a reason it is called dialect. And the reason why China didn't develop multiple languages as Europe did. Well, it is because we share the same written language.[/quote] So somebody who speaks only Cantonese can understand somebody who speaks only Mandarin, when they speak to each other, without using any writing?[/quote]
