What is the use of influential Cantonese except Guangdong?

Besides Guangdong, Cantonese is also used in Hong Kong, Macao and Guangxi.

Cantonese is one of the eight major language families in China, mainly in Guangfu dialect, that is, today's Guangzhou and Foshan, which is the representative of Cantonese and the most authentic. Cantonese is very distinctive in pronunciation and speed, and this language still retains many pronunciations of ancient Chinese. If you read Tang poems in Cantonese, you will know the works that Pingming thinks don't rhyme immediately.

Cantonese, centered on Guangzhou and Foshan, began to spread around gradually, forming a powerful language network system. Cantonese is also widely used in neighboring cities, such as Dongguan, Qingyuan and Zhaoqing. This is also the main body of Cantonese, with a large number of users and the most representative. Although some places have different accents, they can still be understood in the same language family.

In addition, some people in Guangxi speak Cantonese, mainly in Wuzhou, Beihai and Nanning. These people also speak Cantonese, but they call Cantonese "vernacular", which is actually related to Cantonese, both in accent and speaking speed. So people in Guangxi can understand everything they say. After all, the two are inextricably linked.

Hong Kong and Macao also speak Cantonese. Most of these two places immigrated from Guangdong. In addition, during the colonial period, the British vigorously promoted Cantonese, and Hong Kong formed a Cantonese-based language, which eventually affected Macao, so most people in these two places used Cantonese. Moreover, their Cantonese is obviously from Guangfu dialect, which is the same as Cantonese spoken by Guangzhou people, and there is no difference.

Cantonese speakers are generally in Guangdong, and there are also a few in Guangxi. Together with Hong Kong and Macao, they are the most densely populated places with a large number of people. Besides, Cantonese has a unique pronunciation and a fast speed, which makes it sound as if the tongue is inflexible. So people in Guangdong and Guangxi always can't speak Mandarin well.
