Hakka people rooted in the Central Plains, due to war, famine and other reasons, from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, more than a thousand years, through five large-scale migration and continuous sporadic transfers, began to Gan, Fujian, Guangdong border area, and later gradually to the southern provinces and overseas reproduction. Now the Hakka people have been spread in Gan, Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan, Gui, Guizhou, Hunan and other provinces and autonomous regions of our country, and some of them have crossed the ocean and are scattered in Southeast Asia, America, and Central and Southern Africa, etc. At present, there are six or seven Hakka people in China.

As the saying goes, "When you enter a country and ask about the customs, the dialect is the first thing to do". The Hakka dialect spoken by Hakka people is an important carrier of Hakka culture and the main symbol of Hakka folklore.

-The Formation of Hakka Dialect-

Hakka dialect is one of the eight major dialects in China. Regarding the formation of the Hakka dialect, researchers believe that it is inseparable from the several great migrations of the Hakka people in history.

The ancestors of the Hakka people, originally mainly from the Central Plains around Henan Province, at that

time they spoke Heluo, the northern official language of the Central Plains Han Chinese. After the Western Jin Dynasty, they gradually moved southward, first into the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Here, the Hakka ancestors, who adhered to the culture of the Central Plains, lived with the local indigenous people for hundreds of years, preserving their own Central Plains dialect and absorbing the local Wu and Chu dialects, which gave rise to a new sub-dialect, "Jianghuaihua" - the origin of today's Hakka dialect. The Hakka dialect is the source of today's Hakka dialect.

Toward the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Hakka ancestors once again moved southward into Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong. In the process of moving south and after settling down, they interacted with people speaking Gan, Fujian and Guangdong dialects, absorbing these dialects and enriching themselves.

At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after they settled in the border areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Gan, the Hakka people, a new Han Chinese folk group, was formed as the area became socially stable, economically prosperous and culturally developed. At the same time, the Hakka language, which is the ****same communication tool of this folk system, was also basically formed at this time.

The Hakka language calls me, you, and him "涯、你、他", with "涯" being the most special. Some Cantonese speakers refer to Hakka as "Ya dialect". Since Hakka calls "what" "脉个"(or "么个"), it is also jokingly called "脉个话" (脈个话). "What are the characteristics of the Hakka dialect? What are the characteristics of the Hakka dialect?

-The Phonetics of Hakka Dialect-

Hakka has 17 consonants, 74 rhymes, and 6 tones: yinping, yangping, suprasegmental, declension, yininin, and yangin.

Compared with the other two dialects of Guangdong, Cantonese and Minnan, Hakka is the closest to Mandarin. Hakka can be understood by people from the north, especially when it is used to read books and texts.

While the Hakka people speak the same Hakka dialect, they are widely distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, Gan, Hunan, Gui, Sichuan, Qiong, Taiwan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces, and the Hakka dialect varies from place to place in terms of phonetics, vocabulary, etc. For this reason, the Hakka dialect is based on the Cantonese dialect and the Minnan dialect. For this reason, the Hakka dialect is standardized in Meixian. The Hakka language broadcast of the Central People's Broadcasting Station (CPB) in Beijing is also broadcast in Meixian. This is not only because the Meixian area is one of the main Hakka settlements with a concentrated population and a developed culture, but also because most of the Hakka people in the fourth and fifth great migrations and overseas Chinese migrating overseas also moved out from the Meixian area.
