It's Minnan actually. If you know Hokkien, you should have no problems understanding them.

Actually Hokkien has many variants. Taiwanese Hokkien has many Khek (for example su for "4" rather than "si") and Japanese ("pang" for bread from Japanese Kibun, rather than our "loh-ti" from Malay) influences.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:It's Minnan actually.

Our Hokkien has many Malay influences. Even Cantonese has mixed in, for example Kan Cheong, which should be Kin Teew in Hokkien. -
the older folks can actually tell which region in fujian one is from from the accent and nuances of pronounciation .....
mine's from anhui ...

Yup, but that's Singapore's version. You can't compare. You probably won't understand quite a bit if somebody talks to you in pure Hokkien.Originally posted by Cystaire:Actually Hokkien has many variants.

Actually China prefer the northern dialect that they call mandarin. I dun think they support Hokkien ah!Originally posted by littlefishtan!:CHINA RISING! So all the chinese ad hokkein stuff will come back! Dont worry! -
Hokkien in Singapore and Min Nan Yu in Fujian and Taiwan sounds absolutely different. One's crude, the other's refined. And ours is a very diluted version anyway.
But Hokkien is still one of the more spoken dialects in Singapore as with Cantonese, so if it should go extinct, the less common dialects would probably go first. -
wrong . hokkein will disappear in china too . more and more ppl now speak mandarin . go xiamen see see . very few ppl speak hokkien .Originally posted by littlefishtan!:CHINA RISING! So all the chinese ad hokkein stuff will come back! Dont worry! -

Won't one la. In fact, we are proliferating it to outside our shores. My Singaporean friends and I on campus always speak Hokkien with a mix of English (in other words Singlish la). Haha, then all the ang moh hear us speak all damm curious la. One of the lingustic tutors even invited us to one of his tutorials to demonstrate how Singlish is spoken. Obviously, we decline la. Wait ask cheem cheem question cannot answer, that time lao kui.

knn, i think it is high time they revert to running dialect programs on tv.
i find the ban of such programs ridiculous. taiwanese and hong kongers dont speak english but yet are doing better than we do.
