Cantonese is in Danger 粵語在消失中

Cantonese is the dialect used in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hong Kong. It's also a popular language amid the oversea Chinese. Traditional Chinese character is used in Cantonese but pronunciation defers from mandarin. Now Cantonese is in danger along with the policy that restricts Cantonese used in media and official occasion. Now only Hong Kong still has it as official language.

粵語是廣東、廣西和香港人的語言,在海外華人中也相當流行。粵語使用中文繁體(内陸的廣東、廣西除外),但發音不同于普通話。現在隨著普通話在兩廣推行和限制在媒體、官方場合使用,粵語有消失的危險。現在只有香港依然使用粵語作爲其官方語言。
