Yeah but even us shanghainese don’t even speak shanghainese without having a stupid ass accent nowadays. My cousins in Shanghai speak shanghainese with a mandarin accent now. While my shanghainese is still the same as the crap my parents spoke in the 80s and 90s…. It’s a bastardized dialect and it’s dying more and more everyday.
One great thing about Cantonese and specifically HK Cantonese is that you Guangdong assholes seem to defend it religiously. Like tai ping rebellion fanaticism if anyone tells you guys that you should be speaking mandarin.
Good for you ! I wish we kept that
