Seek the differences, connections and origins of Hakka dialect, Chaozhou dialect, Minnan dialect and vernacular.

Chaozhou dialect and Minnan dialect can be said to be the same branch and belong to Minnan dialect series. It is said that during the first Central Plains chaos in Wuhu, a large number of Han people moved south, talking about Minnan people and Hakkas. The vernacular Chinese can be said to be a bit confusing, because there was a story in the Qin Dynasty that 500,000 Qin people went south to raze Lingnan, but I don't feel very credible. Looking at the history at that time, Qin did not exist. Only the best Meng Jiajun could lead an army of 300,000, while a teenager could lead an army of 500,000, and the leader was hanged by a strong man. The leader of the 500,000-strong army is estimated to have been killed in this way. I feel that it is definitely unbelievable. At that time, a large number of Fujian place names were left, such as Luoyang Village, Luoyang Bridge, Nan 'an and Jinjiang. It was named by the first batch of immigrants in Jin Dynasty who didn't think about their hometown. In addition, Minnan people believed in Guan Di, which was also the time when Guan Yu built a temple in Jin after the Three Kingdoms. Hakkas, I have had the privilege of contacting Hakkas in Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangxi. Their words are Hakka, but they are basically different. Fujian is Fujian, Guangxi is Guangdong, and Jiangxi is Jiangxi. Finally, let's talk about the vernacular. I'm not sure about the vernacular, but one thing is more credible. In the Song Dynasty, a large number of Han people did not move south, and some of them entered Jiangmen and brought the palace lantern craft to Jiangmen at that time. Today, Jiangmen Palace Lantern is also very famous. There are popular palace lanterns in southern Fujian and Guangdong. ) The difference is that there are nine tones in Hakka dialect, one tone in ancient Chinese, eight tones in Minnan dialect and one tone in other places. Eight tones are just the same tones as ancient Chinese. The vernacular is relatively flat, so men are very calm and magnetic. The tone of Minnan dialect is quite different, which makes women talk too much. (My humble opinion). Because Hakka dialects are different, it is hard to say and I don't know where to start.
