［舊聞重温］唔好睇小廣東話！
https://www.facebook.com/hongkonglangstudies/photos/a.636947586361970.1073741830.593704294019633/872374392819287/?type=3【西人唔係咁諗】居然仲有本港家長迷信，林建岳提議幼稚園全面「普教中」、校長帶領中學生唱《中國是我媽》對小朋友有益，所以禁止仔女喺屋企講廣東話。不過，崇尚科學嘅西方世界，例如美國有線電視新聞網絡（CNN），似乎唔係咁諗。
據CNN旅遊於去年四月報導，視乎你身處邊個地區，呢種語言（港語學按：冇錯，係語言，唔係方言）共有六至九聲；相較之下，英語無聲調可言。亦無其他亞洲語言比得上（國語得四聲，泰文有五聲，越南語有六聲) 。
打個譬喻，就好似話一個英文字，有六種讀法，最少有六種不同意思咁。
當地人鍾意話，因為咁我哋音樂特別叻，研究亦證明呢個講法係有啲道理嘅。呢種語言複雜而有趣之處，在於廣東話係一種每日都有新俚語誕生，而好多用詞根本唔會見於書面。
點呀，你諗掂未啫？你信香港教育局、信中國共產黨，定係信西方傳媒呀？

原文《10 things Hong Kong does better than anywhere else》（節錄）：
How can you not love Hong Kong? Home of Bruce Lee, divine dim sum, lofty buildings, loftier real estate prices and -- in spite of all those buildings -- easy access to incredible stretches of great outdoors.
It's been more than 15 years since the British handed Hong Kong over to Chinese rule but little has changed. Hong Kong remains a competitive and independent city, consistently ranked as one of the world's best places to live. But don't take our word for it. Here are 10 things this great city does better than anywhere else.
1. Tonal talents
Native English speakers who've managed to learn Cantonese from scratch: give yourselves a pat on the back. The language has a total of six to nine tones, depending on where you're hearing it, compared to English's zero tones. No other Asian language comes close. (There are four tones in Mandarin, five in Thai and six in Vietnamese).
That's kind of like saying one English word can be pronounced six different ways and have at least six different meanings.
Locals like to say this makes us particularly good at music (certain karaoke sessions have proven otherwise) and studies have shown there's some truth to this.
To add to the complexity -- and fun -- of the language, Cantonese is a dialect with new slang invented everyday and many words aren't used in written communication. Intimidated? Check out Carlos Douh's YouTube channel, the Internet's most entertaining Cantonese language teacher, for quick and easy Cantonese lessons.
