The origin and development of Cantonese;

The origin of Cantonese is related to the history, geography and population movement in ancient China. In ancient China, Guangdong was located at the crossroads of maritime trade, attracting businessmen and immigrants from all over the world. They brought different dialects and languages, merged with local dialects and developed into modern Cantonese. In addition, the political, economic and cultural center of ancient southern China was also located in Guangdong, which increased the language influence of this region.

In the Tang Dynasty, Cantonese developed rapidly and was distinguished from other dialects. Compared with Mandarin, Cantonese retains more phonological features of ancient Chinese, such as the retention of tone system and phonological changes of ancient Chinese. This makes Cantonese different from other dialects and Putonghua in phonology.

With the passage of time, Cantonese migrated to overseas areas, especially in the 9th century and the early 20th century, a large number of Cantonese migrated to Southeast Asia and other countries. These immigrants brought Cantonese overseas, making Cantonese the main dialect in many Chinese communities, such as Hong Kong, Macao and some areas in southern Guangdong.
