How do you say "flood" in Cantonese and Mandarin?

There is water on the street.

1. Cantonese is the only Chinese dialect that originated in Guangdong and is also the mainstream dialect in Guangdong Province, so it is called Cantonese. In 2008, it was officially defined as a language by the United Nations. When it comes to the birthplace of Cantonese, most experts in general academic circles believe that it originated in Fengkai County, Guangdong Province (a county under the jurisdiction of Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province).

2. Academically speaking, Cantonese is not the same as Cantonese dialect. Cantonese refers to the Han language originating from the Xia Dynasty, that is, Cantonese. However, many Cantonese speakers have moved from the north or neighboring Fujian and other places. After arriving in Guangdong, many people can accept the local dialect-Cantonese.

3. Guangdong dialect refers to the dialects popular in Guangdong, including Hakka, Min, Mandarin, and some minority languages. In recent years, many foreigners have immigrated to Guangdong, so some people in big cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen still speak English.

4. Cantonese: Also known as Cantonese, it is the recognized standard accent of Cantonese. Cantonese itself is constantly changing and developing. Before 1949, Cantonese's vocabulary was more quaint and less influenced by northern dialects.

5. Guangzhou itself is composed of Panyu and part of Nanhai, so the Guangzhou dialect can actually be regarded as a special case of the Nanfanshun dialect. The dialects of Guangzhou, Panyu and Nanhai are relatively close, but the pronunciation of many words in Shunde is different from other places. For example: "a" is not pronounced [lap] but pronounced [nap]; "吔[yɑ:k]rice".
