There are four differences between Hong Kong dialect and Cantonese:
1. Tone
Some linguists believe that there are two main differences between Hong Kong Cantonese and Guangzhou Cantonese. The first is the finals. There are some vowels in Hong Kong Cantonese, but not in Guangzhou Cantonese. Another point, which is also noteworthy, is tone.
Everyone knows that Cantonese has nine tones: Cantonese nine tones come from Hong Kong floating circle 00:0000:05. In short, if both words are the first sound, Guangzhou people will pronounce both sounds as 55-53. Pronunciation is usually not 55 (black line) but 53 (gray line), indicating a slightly lower tone. This is very similar to the tone sandhi of Mandarin.
With the increasing communication between the two places, many new immigrants have brought the pronunciation habit of Guangzhou Cantonese to Hong Kong. Now, some Cantonese words in Hong Kong also use Yin Ping to attack 53.
2. Lazy voice
There are many lazy sounds in Cantonese. Do you remember that circle girl made you a column about the lazy sound of Cantonese? In Cantonese, the most classic lazy sound is that N and L are indistinguishable, such as its(ni 1go3) instead of (li 1go3). You: nei5, not lei5. It is difficult for Hong Kong people to distinguish these two initials, just as it is difficult for some southern friends to read them clearly: Grandma Liu asked Grandma Niu to buy durian milk.
It is also common for its nasal sounds to become lazy (I am interpreted as O by NGOs). This initial is not only the difficulty for Hong Kong Cantonese to overcome lazy sounds, but also the difficulty for Cantonese learners' pronunciation standards. In addition, the initial gw is lazy to become the initial G, and the initial P is lazy to become the initial B, which is also a common lazy sound.
For example, zau in Guangdong is pronounced waa (Children's Fairy Tales), zau in Hong Kong is pronounced Duke of Zhou dialect, and Guagwaa in Hong Kong is pronounced Guagua dialect. So next time you meet a friend in Hong Kong, if he humbly tells you that the melon I cooked is ordinary, please forgive me. Don't think that others are going to make soup for you.
However, this does not mean that there is no lazy sound in Cantonese in Guangzhou. Now, in Guangzhou, even smart people are increasing. So try to avoid being lazy in pronunciation, and speaking Cantonese well is the key.
3. Mandarin pronunciation and regional pronunciation
With the deepening of Putonghua education in Guangdong and the migration of foreigners to Guangzhou to learn Cantonese, some changes have been brought to Cantonese in Guangzhou. For foreigners who have been in Guangzhou for many years and can skillfully use Cantonese, the pronunciation of Putonghua is common. Because they learn Cantonese in their daily life, some pronunciations have not been systematically studied and trained, so they are easily confused with their own dialects or Putonghua unconsciously.
This pronunciation gradually spread in Guangzhou, and the frequency of using Mandarin is much higher than that of Cantonese. Slowly, some young people in Guangzhou will also have a pronunciation similar to Mandarin. For example, Reese reads: Reese saves Gaul, helps reading: saves Gaul, jyun, Qian Wei reads: fiber cim Wei Wei In addition, because Cantonese covers Guangdong and Guangxi, there will be pronunciation differences in different places. In addition, people living in other Guangdong areas in Guangzhou, influenced by the local accent, will also affect the pronunciation of Cantonese in Guangzhou.
4. Loanwords
The biggest and most intuitive difference between Guangzhou Cantonese and Hong Kong Cantonese is the usage of vocabulary, which means that terms are different in Hong Kong dialect.
Hong Kong Cantonese is greatly influenced by English due to historical factors, and loanwords are basically transliterated from English, while loanwords in Guangzhou Cantonese are usually translated from Mandarin and pronounced in Cantonese, such as Chelsea GT in Guangzhou and Chelsea GT; In Hong Kong; Guangzhou is called Arsenal, Hong Kong is called Arsenal and Laser, Guangzhou is called Laser, and Hong Kong is called Laser.
Language is constantly developing. With the increasingly frequent exchanges between Hong Kong and the Mainland, Cantonese in the two places is also constantly merging and developing. In the past, classic Hong Kong movies and TVB dramas brought Hong Kong Cantonese to the mainland, and Hong Kong dialects such as air conditioning and reserved places Q.
Now more and more Putonghua words are integrated into Hong Kong Cantonese, such as changing tennis GT; To tennis gt; And check. Universities in Hong Kong and the United States are gradually implementing bilingual trilingual system (Hong Kong dialect, Mandarin and English).
On the one hand, local Cantonese can be well inherited and developed, and at the same time, the two places can communicate better; On the other hand, there are always differences between spoken Cantonese and standard written Cantonese, which leads local students to mix Cantonese vocabulary with grammar or Europeanized sentence patterns in their writing. Bilingual trilingual teaching can effectively make up for this limitation.
