At present, which local dialect is best preserved in the whole country?

Personally, I think it's Cantonese. On the surface, Cantonese and Mandarin are just two languages. At first glance, people in other places can't understand it, but if you listen carefully, you can still feel the difference in tone, but Cantonese is just another language. If you don't study and have no in-depth contact with Cantonese, you will only regard this dialect as a foreign language at first sight. It is precisely for this reason that the gap between Cantonese and Mandarin is too big, so it can remain the original appearance under the attack of Mandarin.

Someone said? Our dialect hasn't changed. Why don't we talk nonsense here to confuse people? In fact, have you ever thought that modern dialects are supported by the older generation, who can't speak Mandarin at all? However, once these older generations have passed away, they will become a new generation after 80, 90 and 00. So to what extent can these people who have studied Putonghua since childhood keep their dialects in their daily lives? People unconsciously combine Putonghua with dialects in their daily life, and people around them can understand it anyway, and no one deliberately insists on speaking it? Authentic? Dialect. So according to this situation, pass it on to two generations? Presumably, most dialects that are not much different from Putonghua have really become? Intangible cultural heritage? .

So why is Cantonese the best preserved? Just because Mandarin and Cantonese are two languages, the difference is too great, so when Mandarin invades Cantonese, it will be much more difficult. So far, this change has actually begun to take shape. People in many places have gradually stopped speaking dialects and gradually used one? Half dialect and half mandarin? Speak in a tone. The extent of this change, that is, what is said in the title? Well preserved? Nature that is the hardest to change is the best preserved.

Generally speaking, dialect hinders the communication and integration between cultures, but it is also a cultural feature of all ethnic groups in different regions and needs to be preserved in future changes, otherwise it can be predicted that it will disappear in the future.
