Yue (粵語) / Cantonese Language Comparison

Everyone knows about Hong Kong Cantonese but HK Cantonese isn't the only type of Cantonese. It is but one part of the Guangfu Language. This language is also part of the greater Yue Language Family tree. This video is here to showcase some of the many different parts of the Yue Language Family stretching from Guangdong to Guangxi.

Disclaimer: Most Chinese people refer to all of these different speeches as dialects when compare to Mandarin. In this description, I will call the different parts of the Yue Family Tree as different languages due to each group lacking significant mutual intelligibility with one another. The parts of the language group I will call dialects.

I will also not include the Pinghua languages in this video because I consider them too different from the rest of the Yue Language groups.
