    My understanding is Fuzhounese is also very common to be heard in Chinese restaurants. Fujian cuisine is one of the more commonly exported forms of Chinese cuisine.

    But let’s face it a P.H.D. Quantum mechanics is probably easier than understanding the regional languages and dialects of spoken Chinese.

      I can usually tell Cantonese apart but you really have to be exposed to the sounds as a kid. I don’t know any of it, though, I can only figure out the language being spoken and there’s no way I’d know every dialect, haha.
