Tangshan immigrated to Singapore.

Because there are many Chinese in Malaysia, most of them immigrated to Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia from Fujian and Guangdong to escape the war, which naturally brought Chinese culture.

The situation in Malaysia is similar to that in Singapore. Minnan people are the largest ethnic group among Chinese in Malaysia, followed by Hakkas. Cantonese (commonly known as Cantonese) is the main dialect in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Perak, Malaysia.

In other areas, the level of Chinese in Southeast Asia is basically low. For example, the Chinese in Thailand have basically been assimilated, and now learning Chinese from scratch is basically learning Mandarin.

There is no doubt that Guangdong and Fujian account for the majority of Chinese ancestral homes in Southeast Asia, and Guangdong is slightly more than Fujian. The problem is that less than half of the ethnic groups in Guangdong actually speak Cantonese as their mother tongue. More than half of Guangdong people speak Hakka and Chaozhou dialect, which has been reduced to Minnan dialect in dialect classification. Therefore, if we distinguish by the number of dialect users, the first Chinese dialect in Southeast Asia should be Minnan.

Just like Hong Kong people speak English very well. Because Hong Kong once belonged to the British Concession and was under British control before returning to the embrace of the motherland, English naturally became the official language of Hong Kong. After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the English level in Hong Kong is still extremely high, and most people can speak English. Because it is imperceptibly formed in a cultural atmosphere, there is an example like India.

At least half of the population of Southeast Asian countries in Malaysia are Chinese, and most of these Chinese come from southern Fujian and Guangdong. Therefore, in the local area, the Minnan Cantonese culture has been formed involuntarily, and it is natural for them to speak fluent Minnan and Cantonese. Therefore, they will say anything, so understanding is normal.
