Hakka or Kejia is one of the major Chinese language subdivisions or varieties and is spoken natively by the Hakka people in
southern China, Taiwan and throughout the diaspora areas of East Asia, Southeast Asia and around the world. Due to its primary
usage in scattered isolated regions where communication is limited to the local area, the Hakka language has developed numerous
variants or dialects, spoken in Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces, including Hainan
island, Sabah, Singapore and Taiwan. Hakka is not mutually intelligible with Mandarin, Wu, Min Nan, or other branches of Chinese.
It is most closely related to Gan, and is sometimes classified as a variety of Gan. Taiwan, where Hakka language is the mother
tongue of a significant minority of the island's residents, is an important world center for study of the language. Pronunciation
differences exist between the Taiwanese Hakka dialect and China's Guangdong Hakka dialect, and even in Taiwan two local varieties
of Hakka exist within that dialect. The Moi-yen/Moi-yan dialect of northeast Guangdong in China has been taken as the standard
dialect by the Chinese government. The Guangdong Provincial Education Department created an official romanization of Moiyen
in 1960, one of four languages receiving this status in Guangdong. |
