Where is the Hakka dialect? The difference between Hakka dialect and Minnan dialect.

Hakka dialect is widely used in Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan and Sichuan. Hakka dialect is a unique language among Hakkas, which retains part of the pronunciation of She language and ancient Chinese, but it is the product of multi-language integration of ethnic groups. It is generally believed that Hakka dialect was originally formed in the Southern Song Dynasty and was not named as Hakka dialect until the 20th century. Linguists still have some arguments about whether to classify it as a Chinese dialect or language. Especially in China, it is considered as one of the seven dialects of Chinese.

The difference between Hakka dialect and Minnan dialect is 1, and the sources are different: Minnan dialect is said to have originated in the Luoshui valley of the Yellow River, moved to Minnan in the Western Jin Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Northern Song Dynasty, and originated in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, while Hakka dialect mainly originated in the Han nationality in the Central Plains during several wars and ancient turmoil, and there was a migration tide from North China to South China.

2. Different distribution areas: Minnan dialect is mainly distributed in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Xiamen, Longyan and xinluo district in Fujian Province, and Hakka dialect is mainly distributed in southern China.

3. Different characteristics: The uniqueness of Minnan dialect is mainly manifested in its own characteristics of language vocabulary and grammar, while some words in Hakka dialect are synonymous with Mandarin, and some words are the same as Mandarin, but their meanings are different.

The origin of Hakka dialect Some experts believe that Hakka people first migrated from the north to South China with the tide of immigration during several wars and turmoil in ancient times. Their ancestors migrated from Henan, Shanxi and other places, which also brought the characteristics of their local language at that time. The ancestors of Hakkas were originally Han Chinese in the Central Plains. However, the phonetic features of ancient Chinese, which are still used in many modern Hakka dialects, have disappeared in some northern dialects. Hakka dialect was originally formed in the Southern Song Dynasty. On the basis of inheriting ancient Chinese, its pronunciation has changed regularly. Historically, Hakka used to be one of the main circulating languages in Lanfang and China, and it was also the "national language" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was widely used in its official documents.

In history, almost all ethnic groups have experienced the migration of past dynasties and developed to this day. Today, the aborigines in Beijing and Shanghai are mainly immigrants hundreds of years ago, especially in Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan Province provinces. Therefore, in thousands of years of migration history, Hakkas, like other migrant groups, have become aborigines in many places. Hakka originated in Qin Zheng Lingnan Rongbaiyue period and developed in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties. At the latest in the Southern Song Dynasty, a relatively stable ethnic group-Hakkas was formed. So far, there are different opinions on how to call Hakka in academic circles, and there is still no conclusion.

Which period was the official dialect of Hakka, which was the closest to the official dialect of Tang Dynasty (Hakka in Meizhou and other places is still called "Tangyin"). The Tang Dynasty was a period when a large number of foreign Buddhist classics were translated in China. The translation of Buddhist incantations from Han Dynasty to Tang Dynasty is based on Sanskrit pronunciation and the use of China Hakka dialect. So if you read it in Hakka, it's almost the same as Roman Pinyin written in Sanskrit. Reading in Mandarin has a great error.
