So you think eurasian girls are pretty do you? Maybe it's because they are in right now. I dunno, sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. I guess it just a matter of just the right combo.

I don't think they're pretty 'cause there 'in' i've always thought they are pretty. =( It hard to explain, they just have a natural beauty.

I heard/found out/was told in recent years that Cantonese is merely a dialect full of slang. Being raised under roof of Cantonese, I still feel that it is a normal language like any other...But I have been noticing (through some analysing) many words and sounds in Cantonese that other Chinese dialects do not have and therefore cannot carry-over.
For those of you who grew up with a dialect besides Cantonese, do you really feel that it's full of slang?

It's true. It is technically a dialect full of slangs. But isn't that what makes it unique? or maybe I just have too much pride. There are many slangs that cannot be translated, and that may be the challenge when having to write it down.

I consider it a normal language.
Linda(She's a mandarin speaker) called it langauge of the hicks. X_X;

Quote:
Cantonese sounds quite different from Mandarin, mainly because it has a different set of syllables.


Quote:
There is another obvious difference between Cantonese and Mandarin. Mandarin lacks the syllable-final sound "m"; final "m" and final "n" in Cantonese have merged into "n" in Mandarin
