There is no specific best or worst

Mandarin is the synonym of the modern Han nation, the standard language of modern Chinese, and the intermediary between the various dialect areas of the modern Han nation. It is also a tool for communication among the various ethnic groups in our country, which is the common language of our country. After the founding of New China, the standardization of language and characters has received great attention. In 1955, the "National Writing Reform Conference" and the "Academic Conference on Standardization of Modern Chinese" were held in Beijing. These two conferences determined the name, definition and standards of the modern Han nationality's homonym, and officially named it "Putonghua", which means "common" and "common" language. The three aspects of grammar determine the connotation of Mandarin, that is, "Beijing pronunciation is the standard pronunciation, Northern dialect is the basic dialect, and typical modern vernacular works are the grammatical standards."

But there are also big differences between Beijing dialect and Mandarin. The Mandarin spoken by Beijingers is not very good

especially in old Beijing.

Chinese dialect It is divided into seven types:

1. Northern dialect

The number of speakers of northern dialect accounts for about 75% of the total Han population. Represented by Beijing dialect, it is the most common dialect of the Han nationality. The basic dialect of the language.

The northern dialect has the widest geographical distribution, and there are also certain phonetic differences within it. It can be divided into four sub-dialect areas:

(1) North China and Northeast dialects, popular in Beijing The two cities of Tianjin and three provinces in Northeast China, and the six provinces of Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Among them, the dialects of Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang provinces are closest to Beijing dialect.

4. Gan dialect

The number of speakers of Gan dialect accounts for about 3.3% of the total Chinese population, represented by Nanchang dialect, and It is called Gan dialect or Jiangxi dialect and is spoken in most areas of Jiangxi Province.

Due to the fact that many Han people from the north migrated southward in history, most of them transited through Jiangxi, and geographically bordered the Jianghuai dialect, Hunan dialect, and Hakka dialect areas, the peripheral areas of Jiangxi Province were deeply influenced by other dialects. This leads to the dilution of the characteristics of Gan dialect.

5. Cantonese dialect

The number of speakers of Cantonese dialect accounts for about 4.3% of the total Han population, represented by Cantonese dialect, which is spoken in central and southwestern Guangdong and eastern Guangxi in the Pearl River Delta , the south and the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, it is also customarily called "Cantonese" or "Cantonese", and the locals call it "Cantonese" or "vernacular".

Nearly 90% of overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia, North and South America, etc. come from Cantonese dialect areas, so the Chinese popular among middle-aged and elderly Chinese in foreign "Chinatowns" is mostly Cantonese dialect.

6. Min dialect

The number of speakers of Min dialect accounts for about 5% of the total Chinese population. Represented by Fuzhou dialect, it is distributed in most areas of Fujian Province, as well as parts of Guangdong, Hainan and Han-inhabited areas of Taiwan Province. It is the largest and most complex dialect with the largest internal differences. Calls between southern and northern Fujian are not allowed. Therefore, some people advocate dividing southern Fujian and northern Fujian into two major dialect areas.

The Min dialect is divided into 5 sub-dialect areas:

(1) Mindong dialect represented by Fuzhou dialect;

(2) Xiamen dialect Southern Fujian dialect represented by Jian'ou dialect;

(3) Northern Fujian dialect represented by Jian'ou dialect;

"Living in a foreign land", although surrounded by other dialects. Internal language consistency is still preserved. In Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and other overseas Chinese from Hakka, Hakka dialect is still used as a communicative language.

Finally, it should be said that the northern dialects are closest to Mandarin, and the Mandarin in Heilongjiang should be the best, because there are many immigrants there and have not formed their own dialects historically.

And the various dialects in the south are probably the best. dialects, especially Cantonese and Min dialects, have the biggest gap with northern dialects, so Mandarin is the worst
