Do you support a Hokkien ethnostate?

listen to hakka then. it is very similar to mandarin

What’s interesting is that Mongolic, Turkic and Tungusic languages are unrelated but for a while some linguists put them in the controversial “Altaic family”. Now this is seen as rubbish and it is generally accepted that they only share similarities because of close contact. But there have also been some proposals that they were all influenced by a now extinct Yeniseian people who conquered all their ancestors or ruled as the elites in a multi-ethnic confederacy.

Other way around. All the Southern Chines languages have substrates of extinct languages that the Chinese conquered or they retained different aspects of Chinese. The Proto-Sinitic people originated around Inner Mongolia/Hebei/Shanxi/Henan and made gradual migrations to the south. I don’t know how you can think Mandarin sounds weird when the Min languages exist.

Mandarin isn’t a Han subgroup, dummy.

t. canton descendant

I thought Hakka lived in North China but were chased down?

I think a good way of thinking about Old Chinese is by comparing it to Vulgar Latin. They both became superstratum to indigenous substratum.

yes the last major migrations were in 16th century-17th century
the first was during qin dynasty

>Hokkien Ethnostate

They literally look like us Austronesians though

Hokkien is the official language of the Tang Dynasty and we refer ourselves as Tang'a lang, or modernly speaking, lan lang. When was Hakka considered an official language by some chink dynasty? Oh right, never ever.

Stay mad.
