<blockquote class="uncited"><div>Can anyone please tell me the difference between Cantonese and Mandarin?</div></blockquote>Both Cantonese and Mandarin are dialects of Chinese. Mandarin is the official Chinese language spoken in China and Taiwan. It originates from North China.<br>Cantonese is one of the dialects in the south. It is the "standard" for Hong Kong and for many overseas Chinese regions such as in chinatowns in US and Europe.<br><br>If your aim is to use it in China or Taiwan, go for Mandarin.<br><br>Regards,<p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="http://chineselanguage.org/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=385">tfc.chin</a> — Thu Mar 23, 2006 11:45 am</p><hr />
