Which Chaoshan dialect do you like (hate) the most?

I think Chaoshan dialects all have their own characteristics. After all, they all represent the characteristics of the land and water. As for which one is the most authentic, I think it’s hard to say, because I read some research books and said that in ancient times, “Chaozhou has nine counties, and each county has its own language.” This means that there are nine counties under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Prefecture (it seems that the scope is wider than today The Chaoshan area is even larger), and each county has its own dialect, and the pronunciation differences between counties are also relatively large. So I think there is no most authentic Chaoshan dialect, because there are many Chaoshan dialects that exist at the same time. If you want to say it, it can only be said that Chaozhou dialect is the representative. After all, Chaozhou in ancient times was an administrative center, and the dialect it used was used as the official dialect for surrounding people. The county definitely has influence, and the surrounding areas are gradually moving closer to Chaozhou. Of course, now that Shantou is a special economic zone, its influence is gradually showing. What people previously collectively referred to as "Chaozhou dialect" has gradually been changed to "Chaoshan dialect" in China. In fact, abroad, especially some old overseas Chinese, even Whether he is from Shantou or somewhere else, he still tells others that what he speaks is "Chaozhou dialect". This should be a continuation of a habit.
