Cantonese

A major language that is used to communicate in South China, Hong Kong, and Macau. In other places, Cantonese is spoken the most by the Chinese community in Vietnam and the West, such as the USA, Canada, and the UK. Cantonese is a Yue language, which is a descendant of a Yue state, Southern Yue, that started its civilization below the Yangtze River of South China, before evolving to absorb a handful of Han (Mandarin) loan words and using the written Hanzi characters to express their own way of connecting to people. Cantonese is a different Asian language from Mandarin, due to speakers of both of these languages not being able to understand each other, unless Cantonese and Mandarin speakers only understand each other in Hanzi characters and using body language to some degree. Moreover, Cantonese sounds closer to Hakka, unlike Mandarin that sounds closer to Manchu. Finally, Cantonese isn't a Sino-Tibetan language, unlike Chinese nationalists thinking otherwise.
