    Teochew
    Native to: China, Overseas Chinese communities
    Region: Eastern Guangdong (Chaoshan), Southern Fujian (Zhao'an)
    Ethnicity: Han Chinese (Teochew people)
    Language family: Sino-Tibetan
    is a dialect of Chaoshan Min, a Southern Min language, that is spoken by the Teochew people in the Chaoshan region of eastern Guangdong and by their diaspora around the world. It is sometimes referred to as Chiuchow, its Cantonese rendering, due to the English romanisation by colonial officials and explorers. It is closely related to some dialects of Hokkien, as it shares some cognates and phonology with Hokkien, although the two are not largely mutually intelligible.
    Teochew preserves many Old Chinese pronunciations and vocabulary that have been lost in some of the other modern varieties of Chinese. As such, many linguists consider Teochew one of the most conservative Chinese languages.

    Most of Thai Chinese are descendants of Teochew from Swatow (Shantou) in Guangdong incl. the King Taksin of Thonburi. Modern colloquial Thai language contains bundles of Teochew loanwords. Teochew language, like Hokkien and Hainanese belong to Southern Min dialect group directly evolved from Old Chinese while others evolved from later Middle Chinese. Teochew people can be found in all regions of Thailand, especially the Central region incl. Bangkok, except the South where the Hokkiens and Peranakans (Malay Hokkiens) form a majority. Hakka, Cantonese and Hainanese people can also be found in many urbanized area in Thailand but much less than the Teochews. Unfortunately, new generations of Thai Chinese can’t speak their ancestor’s languages anymore due to absolute integration into Thai society. Only older generations can speak Chinese.
    Northern Thailand is the only region which has the mountain-dwelling Yunnanese (called ‘Haw’ in Northern Thai dialect) who migrated by land with mules. They are not oversea Chinese and speak Southwestern Mandarin.

    Most of Thai Chinese People descend from Teochew - speaking Chinese People. Even there are few people today who can speak Teochew, most of them are the elders, many Teochew lonewords are used in Thai Language such as "อั๊ว Ua" or "I" or "ลื้อ Lue" or "You". Since most of Thai Chinese People are Teochew. Many TV shows always depict the Thai with Chinese Descent in Movies or Dramas by using the Teochew lonewords. Some of them have a long conversations in Teochew.

    A few words are different from Teochew spoken in Thailand, for example we don't say 諸娘 for woman but 查某,not 洗浴 for bath but 灇浴,possibly we were influenced by Hokkien in the diaspora. Oh!we rarely call the English language 英語 but 紅毛話,especially among older Teochew speakers 😂 Anyway,I can understand almost everything he says without reading the text on the screen.

      @@anameidonthave7957 No, for Teochew speakers in SEA, it only means English. Old Teochew immigrants didn't care much about different European countries.

      and I think it is a lovely accent.

    My parents are both teo chew from Saigon and raise my siblings and I in California in this dialect. I was sad at first because no one around me spoke this dialect but today I’m a proud teo chew and happy to at least share the language. I just had a daughter and decided to speak teo chew to her to carry down our language and identity. Im also working on my teo chew so I won’t forget how to speak it! Thanks for this video! I can understand majority of that story 🙏

    Both my father and mother are Teochew descendants, but only a few of the relatives used Teochew, and none of Today understand a word. However, my mother's family whose ancestors emigrated more recent to Thailand still uses some words and phrases in the family. To be honest, it is one of my regrets that I wasn't raised by older people who used the language.

Mainly They come from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. I visited many countries and I generally greeted people in teo chew first and if they don't understand then I will greet them in Cantonese, mandarin and English last even though I don't really speak Cantonese well and I can't speak mandarin at all. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

    As a fluent Cantonese/Mandarin speaker, I can hear semblances in some words but mostly it all sounds like Vietnamese/Thai/Malay to me. Which if you think about it geographically and historically speaking, it absolutely makes sense. With globalization however, all of these dialects are on their way out the door. I predict in about 100 years, there will only be national/regional languages and extremely sparse dialects.

      Ok it sounds like the Teochew we speak here in Singapore BUT the reason why we know he's not Singaporean is when he pronounced 'English' as Ing Guh. In Singapore, the Hokkiens and Teochews refer to English as "红毛" or Ang Moh
