Alexandra Posted July 24, 2004 at 11:09 PM Report Posted July 24, 2004 at 11:09 PM I have read several messages regarding different dialiects for areas that are not far apart. My husbands family are from Baisha in Jiangmen. Could someone please advise what dialect would be spoken there. Thank you Quote

confucius Posted July 27, 2004 at 09:33 PM Report Posted July 27, 2004 at 09:33 PM The area around Jiangmen has different dialects of Cantonese. I have heard the difference between Cantonese speakers in Jiangmen and Xinhui. When you go west over the nearby mountains to Taishan then another totally different dialect exists. All are unlike the Cantonese spoken in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. Quote
