Mandarin (普通話) is the common language in China, but each region has its own dialect (方言). For travelers, a familiar accent can refresh the memory of their hometown.

According to an official video by the Chinese Education Ministry’s Language Com mission, among the more than 130 languages spoken in China, 68 of them are spoken by less than 10,000 people; and 25 by under 1,000.

Hu Shuning, a dialect preservationist, said, “I think it is natural with a society’s development that a dominant language appears, but from a cultural aspect I think dialects are still important, because they reflect cultural diversity.”

“Mandarin can take you further, but your dialect tells you where you come from,” said Wang Han, a well-known TV host.

Answer 1

【答案】In the face of the growing influence of mandarin, dialects are losing ground gradually. A survey reveals that younger people are more likely to be incapable of speaking their dialects.

Mandarin is crucial for China’s development in politics, economy and culture, but the significance of local dialects is undeniable. Actually, not only are dialects communication tools, but they also play a very important role in cultural heritage. Besides, it is dialects that contribute to the diversity of cultures in different regions.

Therefore, it is high time that dialects should be preserved so that they can be heard for the generations to come. Cultural activities can be organized in schools and neighborhoods to enhance people’s awareness of dialect protection. Live tutorials and salons on how to speak the language can also be given online. What’s more, local people are encouraged to write history books and compile textbooks and dictionaries in dialects.
