Hi Timothy, thanks for putting in so much effort to preserve Penang Hokkien. I am a Penang born Hokkien living overseas. I came across your channels a few years back with interest. Occasional I re-visit the channel and was always fascinated with the content. I have extensive knowledge in A.I. especially in text to image, text to video, text to voice, lip-syncing, etc. With your written approach to Hokkien, have you considered training an A.I. model to take a string of your text representation of Hokkien and correctly verbalize it?

Thank you, Timothy. Your videos are wonderful, we learned a lot as Hokkein from the Philippines living in the US. I encouraged my grandchildren to watch your videos as well. "toche"

Rejoice in your right effort of saving Penang Hockkien. Thank you for sharing the video. 🙏🏻

The loss against the 8 nation alliance, the retribution of silver went on for 39 years? So Sun Yat Sen and Chiang Kai Sek continue to pay the 8 nations, even when China is dirt poor?

Hi Timothy! Very good video, very good job you have done. There are many videos out there covering the Boxer uprising, but it is always interesting to get new angles on the subject. Judging from the comments it still, more than 120 years later, stir up emotions. Something people of the present day often forget is that they see days gone by in the light of today and all that we know today. Before we judge, condem, denounce and label (as terrorists) people and movements in history we should try to see them in the light of that day, that era and thier circumstances at that time. Thimothy, thanks for yet another good video without judgements. Best regards, Per

Tq. I enjoy a lot this lesson

I think it is quite biased on your part to narrate that the support the Qing government gave to the boxers who struggled was "wrong" when this was done in fact as patriotic support towards the rebelling boxers (sad that they chose violence) then. Many well-known martial arts masters lost their lives in that cause. Talk about the foreigners who have been "invading" the nation through their "trades" like opium which is "desecrating the Chinese minds through drug addiction" in the name of modern advancement. With 8 nations against One, it is no wonder the United Kingdom "claims control" of Hong Kong, the French "controls" Macau, etc.

Very interesting and educational. Well done. Thank you..!👍🙏

If dialects are considered languages, then I m certainly a multilinguist speaking 9 languages…brilliant lol😂

Younger Hong Kong should learn a little bit of their history

Great job

Teochew, hokkien, Cantonese hakka this group dont have own written languages... and therefore Mandarin written words are use for write_munication... new words are added to some cantonese speakers for own use... hokkien people are the worse... no own written words copy Mandarin words and pronunce in Hokkien sound... messy...

People say Penang Chinese girls are white skin and beautiful.. Perak has many limestone mineral mountains and water from this mineral is good for the skin... tio boh.... Penang males are also white handsome looking like you... must be drinking the limestone water... another tio boh...

First thing to learn any languages or dialect is scolding someone in their language or dialect...

English is also a dialect in England...

Back then... in 1900 opium smoking was introduced to the wealthy Chinese by the evil British Empire to Southeast Asia Chinese... interesting time thats Chinese have a common pass time smoked their life away.... language... speak anything you like... but in writing use Mandarin words to write_municate.... make sense...

At that time in India British colonialism killed millions people in 40 Years. In China western colonialism feare dead millions. and people becomes mad. from Drugs. That history is very bad.

How is it a rebellion? The Boxers are Chinese who try to kick out western occupiers. They are freedom fighter.

Thank you for explaining this significant event that occurred in China. 😊

Thank you for watching my video! If you wish to share an input, I do welcome that, but please write courteously! Thank you in advance.

The latest one is Falungong lead by Li HongZhi. He told his followers not to seek medical help but to meditate when sick but he himself did the opposite.

About the impact, "The Boxer Phenomena" still exist today in Mainland China, and those who are politically and nationalistically sympathizing to Mainland China. Today, the modern "boxers" (figuratively) are called Zhan4 Lang2 (战狼 warring wolves) or Xiao3 Fen3 Hong2 (小粉红 little pinkies), who blindly support whatever PRC do and take hostile view on non-Chinese, especially the West and Japan on unfounded basis. Examples, they always have hatred of Japan due to past aggression. Recent case of China-flag incident also see bipolar reactions among Malaysian Chinese where one side denouncing it unpatriotic, while the other side, which i will call modern "boxers" say it is fine. (this was before the case turn out the flag-bearers were China nationals)

The Boxer Rebellion was merely terrorist acts committed by those in the Northern China (Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Peking) based on racial hatred. The victims were mostly Chinese who the boxers judged to be pro-western. It was very cruel and comparable to Nanking Massacre. Shandong governor Yuen Shi-Kai ban all boxers activities, and allied with all the southern provinces to be non-participating, and negotiated good terms with Western powers beforehand. So that the west will attack north China only in retaliation and spare non-participating southern provinces. Many Chinese in China and Malaysia, due to blind nationalism and racism, blame the rebellion on the West and said the subsequent invasion of eight powers was a aggression, a national shame. But who started the terrorist act on innocent people. It is similar to various terrorist attacks nowadays.

My friend from Shandong told be about the boxer rebellion! Glad you're covering it 😀

It will be interesting if Mr. Timothy can highlight the history of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's visit to Malaya, especially Penang island.

What an interesting lesson

This man explains very clearly the difference of language/dialects..very meticulous person..😅😅😅😅😅BRAVO!!.

The Japanese katakana is not of Latin origin. Instead it is 100% of Hebrew origin both in phonetic and strokes

The most spoken language in the world is mandarin... ❤❤❤

Another superb lesson with really useful new vocabulary. Super helpful. Kam1 siah33 Timothy!

Terima kasih. Saya suka tengok video awak

The name Sin3khaek3 is just referring to people came from Fujian, or other Chinese settlers such as Hakka and Cantonese also inclusive? Thank you

Hi, Good video. Refreshed what I gathered long long ago! Much Thanks! 😊😊😊 Just a suggestion, in the Podcast, the problem could be too much talking, n too little illustration with Chinese characters or radicals. Those who dont already know Chinese characters might really be groping in virtual darkness, esp when explanations are fully in American English. .......

You can argue that they're dialects of Chinese, but you shouldn't say that only Mandarin is the language but throw all the others under. Even by precedence that's messed up. Mandarin is the last guy to show up.

Im a Filipino and thankful to found this video on youtube. Gootta learn hokkien. Thank you!

this was forwarded to me and i watched it pic in pic and later came back to comment; i appreciate your describing the 4 waves of migration a) peranakan b) baba nonya c) lauqat (?) d) Sinket(?) , the movement of population from different parts of China to different parts of west malaysia and Singapore, the external influences that affected those, and the changes in written language vs only spoken language that influenced progress. I suggest that if you could show on a map the migration patterns in each wave, and the names of each of the regions, it would help cement the information in my mind. In addition the captions shown do not accurately reflect what you are saying and it would in particular clarify how to spell the names of the 3rd and 4th migration waves. As a student in primary and secondary school studying history in the late 1950s to mind 1960s history was a boring memorization of the kings of some states and a little of the migration due to tin mining and i find your story fascinating and entertaining. with current media of video by adding more videos and maps showing where places are located and how they are spelt, and illustrated timelines of historical events, your presentation will be far more effective than you talking over everything. congratulations on a very good presentation and looking forward to hearing more from you; what you have given so far is great area of discussions with my cohorts!

Lu Hsun and his writing certainly influenced myself; and the line, “Otherwise why should that dog at the Chao house have looked at me twice?” in his “A Madman’s Diary” was the spark that began my questioning of why canines show up in literature when they do. In the end this exploration lead me to postulate a human culture of origin based upon wolf/ape cooperation which lead to the invention of our first metaphor “i Wolf” that made possible full language beyond simpler metonymy communication. My literary theory “The Carnivoresque” owes a lot to Lu Hsun, and his musings on modern forms of cannibalism helped frame my own pondering.

Tq, good lesson

Thank you for your effort and sharing. I really appreciate and enjoy it. ❤

Thank you so much.

22:52 Vu languages (吳語) comprises of Zaon He language (上海閒話), Sou Tseu Ghe Gho (蘇州閒話), Vu Siq Ghae Wu (無錫閒話), etc. Academically, Jyut language (粵語) is Cantonese, and 粵 is pronounced as Yüeh4 / Yuè in Mandarin.

Hi Timothy, may I know where to listen to the whole podcast you played on this video. I have tried searching for the podcast with no results. James & Jessica explained the transition between literary and standard modern language very well. Appreciate your help & reply.

I like this lesson

Why is Cantonese not available in google translate ?

That is called evolution of the language, which makes the language alive. Without evolution, a language becomes ''dead'' and people stop making use of it. The most blatent example is Latin.

They made it sound like the Beijing dialect was picked because of politics, but it was simply the most widely spoken language. The people of the northern plains naturally had their language more unified than the people of the southern mountains. The only reason for choosing against Mandarin was to make things less practical on purpose just for historical preservation
