Is Foshan dialect standard Cantonese?

Not exactly. Foshan dialect can only be regarded as a kind of Cantonese. Before and after China's liberation, Guangdong used grain as the main county: Nanhai County, Panyu County and Shunde County. At that time, Foshan was under the jurisdiction of Nanhai County, and when sending overseas letters, it was received by "XXX Street, XXX Road, Foshan Town, Nanhai County, Guangdong Province, China". Because Nanhai County ranks first, Foshan people are proud of being from the South China Sea. When people ask about their native place, they proudly say "I am from the South China Sea"! At that time, Foshan people spoke "Nanhai dialect". Of course, this time is different from the past, a plum blossom has two cores! Now Foshan leads the South China Sea! When someone asks about the native place of Nanhai people, they can only say "I am from Foshan"! Then Nanhai dialect became Foshan dialect. Things have changed! ! ! !
