Hakka

One of the most common languages alongside Cantonese and Min in South China, Hong Kong, and Macau. Hakka is also a somewhat common language that is spoken by the Chinese community in Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Being an off-spring with Sze Yap and Gan languages of the Chu state at which it was originated from the Yangtze River of South China, Hakka is a Miao-Yao language that was spoken by the Chu natives in its archaic form. Later, Hakka evolved to borrow a small percent of Han (Mandarin) words, Cantonese words, and Min words, as well as being written in Chinese characters alongside Mandarin, Cantonese, Min, and Wu for speakers to socialize with each other more effectively. Regardless, Hakka is a distinctive Asian language from other languages in China and most people outside of China (except for Chinese nationalists) consider Miao-Yao not placed under the Sino-Tibetan family tree.
