Cantonese language Union Version MP3 New Testament,
By
This review is from: Chinese Cantonese Language / Version: Union Version (MP3 CD)
MP3 New Testametn CD in Chinese Cantonese LanguageLanguage: Chinese Cantonese Version: Union Version Available Option: New Testament - Drama Cantonese, or Standard Cantonese, is language originated in the vicinity of Canton (i.e. Guangzhou) in southern China, and is often regarded as the prestige dialect of Yue Chinese. In mainland China, it is a lingua franca in Guangdong Province and some neighbouring areas, such as the eastern part of Guangxi Province. Outside mainland China, it is spoken by the majority population of Hong Kong and Macau in everyday life. It is also spoken by overseas Chinese communities in Canada, Peru, Panama, the United States and Australia, as well as throughout Europe and Southeast Asia, being the most widely spoken Chinese language and a lingua franca in many of these communities. While the name "Cantonese" generally refers narrowly to the prestige dialect described in this article, it is often used in a broader sense for the entire Yue branch of Chinese, which includes related dialects such as Taishanese. The Cantonese language is also viewed as part of the cultural identity for the native speakers across large swathes of southern China, Hong Kong and Macau. Although Cantonese shares much vocabulary and grammatical structure with Mandarin Chinese, the two languages are not mutually intelligible, in large part because of pronunciation differences.[2][3]
