[quote=GAFFER,327752]Returning to the problem of language, there are 50 recognised minorities in China, most of which have their own dialect or language. When we travelled to Sichuan last year my partner, who is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, struggled with the dialects which in Jiu Zhai Gou seemed to be more Tibetan than Chinese. Owing to the migration of workers to the big cities, these dialects spread, and even in her neighbourhood in Guangzhou she hears dialects she cannot easily understand. What chance does a poor laowai have? :o)[/quote]
