One of the most common languages alongside Cantonese and Min in South China, Hong Kong, and Macau. Hakka is also a somewhat common language that is spoken by the Chinese community in Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Being an off-spring with Sze Yap and Gan languages of the Chu state at which it was originated from the Yangtze River of South China, Hakka is a Miao-Yao language that was spoken by the Chu natives in its archaic form. Later, Hakka evolved to borrow a small percent of Han (Mandarin) words, Cantonese words, and Min words, as well as being written in Chinese characters alongside Mandarin, Cantonese, Min, and Wu for speakers to socialize with each other more effectively. Regardless, Hakka is a distinctive Asian language from other languages in China and most people outside of China (except for Chinese nationalists) consider Miao-Yao not placed under the Sino-Tibetan family tree.
In the 20th century, Hakka might have been suppressed by Chinese nationalists of the Kuomintang (ROC) government out of favoritism for only Mandarin with a Beijing accent to thrive in Taiwan. Blessed with charm that the Kuomintang (ROC) was declining in its power in the late 1980s, the DPP is trying to promote equality for Taiwanese people to speak Hakka alongside Min, Mandarin, and the Taiwanese aborigines languages whatever they wish. The progressive party, especially the current Hakka president of Taiwan, rocks!

Get the Hakka mug.A major language that is used to communicate in South China, Hong Kong, and Macau. In other places, Cantonese is spoken the most by the Chinese community in Vietnam and the West, such as the USA, Canada, and the UK. Cantonese is a Yue language, which is a descendant of a Yue state, Southern Yue, that started its civilization below the Yangtze River of South China, before evolving to absorb a handful of Han (Mandarin) loan words and using the written Hanzi characters to express their own way of connecting to people. Cantonese is a different Asian language from Mandarin, due to speakers of both of these languages not being able to understand each other, unless Cantonese and Mandarin speakers only understand each other in Hanzi characters and using body language to some degree. Moreover, Cantonese sounds closer to Hakka, unlike Mandarin that sounds closer to Manchu. Finally, Cantonese isn't a Sino-Tibetan language, unlike Chinese nationalists thinking otherwise.
Whoever said that Cantonese has about 30% of Yue words, Mandarin has about 30% of Manchu words, and that these languages are both "Han Chinese", are either uneducated or blinded by nationalism to an extreme to spread fake news. On top of this, Chinese supremacists think that Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking groups are one "race", Han Chinese, similar to white supremacists spreading false information that most Europeans with blue eyes and white skin are part of the "untainted" Aryan race. However, Cantonese people or South Chinese genetically have double eyelids, bigger eyes, a darker skin tone, a shorter height, fatter noses, and an angular facial structure. On the other hand, Mandarin-speaking northern Han people or North Chinese genetically have smaller eyelids, smaller eyes, a lighter skin tone, a taller height, flatter noses, and a flatter facial structure. In other words, Cantonese resemble a lot like Southeast Asians, compared to northern Hans having the appearance of North Asians. Chinese supremacists need to get out more from their own tiny world to explore different cultures of tribal people. If not, screw those moronic smartasses.

Get the Cantonese mug.A widespread language in South China, Taiwan, and Singapore that Min speakers use to interact with each other. Hokkien is also known in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia to some extent. Originally, Hokkien is an Austronesian language that descended from the Min Yue Kingdom. When the Han dynasty annexed the Min Yue Kingdom, the Hans slaughtered a bunch of Min Yue natives to enforce the Han (Mandarin) language to displace the Min Yue language and forced them to write in Hanzi characters, but the Hokkien language still preserves its Austronesian phrases and accent way more than Mandarin overall, so it is not considered to be a Han or Sino-Tibetan language. Compellingly, Hokkien's closest relative, Teochew, shares a very common ancestral Min language with Hokkien too and Teochew is spoken in South China, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Thailand, and France.
Similar to Hong Kong people's conservation of Cantonese, if it hadn't for Taiwan's courage, under the DPP, to permit Hokkien from being overshadowed by Mandarin, then we will say goodbye to the lifestyle of future generations speaking their own mother tongues. If people discard their mother tongues, due to being fearful of Beijing massacring them or being greedy about China's growing economy in the South China newspaper, then they approve of being craven servants to imperialism. However, Taiwan is doing a good job to listen to the people rather than some corrupted government officials in the minority group and most Hokkien people in Taiwan are probably the only ones who care about people, unlike many of their Mainland counterpart and many of their Overseas counterpart.

Get the Hokkien mug.A significant language that is spoken in Vietnam. To a smaller degree, Vietnamese is communicated in nations, such as Cambodia, Laos, the USA, and France. Primarily, the Vietnamese language was a Yue language, similar to Cantonese which remains a non-Han language all along. Unfortunately, the Han dynasty conquered the Nan Yue Kingdom, nearly destroyed this language, and forced the Yue natives to write in Hanzi characters. About 1000 years that flew by, the Tang dynasty collapsed and the ancestors of the Vietnamese declared independence. While at that time, Vietnamese changed to become the Austroasiatic language to the likes of Khmer, Mon, Wa, or Munda, by reason of the Vietnamese Kingdom and the Thai Kingdom both strengthening to conquer Champa and South Vietnam (a former territory of the Khmer Empire). Furthermore, when the French conquered Vietnam, Vietnamese were no longer using Hanzi characters and used the Latin system for their written language as a substitute and even up to this present timeline.
Failing in Chinese propaganda, Chinese nationalists embarrassed themselves by stating that all Hong Kong protestors, particularly Joshua Wong, are Vietnamese, since they claimed that "Ng" in Cantonese is the same as in Vietnamese, Vietnamese has about 60% Chinese words, and Vietnamese culture is the same as Chinese culture. However, Vietnamese is now an Austroasiatic language. Also, Vietnamese culture is very different from Chinese culture, since Vietnamese people eat Pho as their main cuisine, they always follow matriarchy without almost any Confucious teachings, they play the Dong Son drum, they ride on elephants, they use guerilla warfare tactics in wars, and so on. What is more informational is that the Vietnamese were very experienced and they are recognized as the ones, who defeated and kicked out many foreign invaders, including the Mongol army, French troops, American troops, the Khmer Rouge, and Chinese PLA soldiers. In spite of North Vietnamese being closely related to Cantonese or Zhuang and South Vietnamese being closely related to Khmer or Malay, most Vietnamese people are tough badasses. Never mess with Vietnam!

Get the Vietnamese mug.An Austroasiatic language that is widely spoken in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Other locations, where Khmer is spoken in the Cambodian minority, is in the USA, France, and South Korea. Many thousands of years earlier, the civilization of the Khmer started around the Mekong River in present-day South China and Laos or Thailand. The Khmer are cousins to other Austroasiatic groups, including Mon, Wa, Munda, and Javanese. Those tribes were probably the oldest Southeast Asian natives and they stayed together, up until that point that they were pushed down further into Southeast Asia to intermarry or to assimilate many Australoid tribes, such as Negritos and Melanesians, that they borrowed a small number of Australoid phrases in their languages. While the Khmer established several kingdoms from the Funan Kingdom to the Khmer Empire, the Khmer adopted the Indian script for their written language. The Thai and Lao people would later adopt the same Indian script as the Khmer do in their own versions to communicate with each other better, despite Thai and Lao being categorized as Daic languages, unless people travel more south in Thailand and Laos, where the higher the Austroasiatic accent is spoken.
The Khmer made contact with Indians to trade with them and to allow Indians to visit their constructed temples. Angkor Wat is the most recognized temple, it is used the most to symbolize Cambodia's national flag, and it was the capital city of the Khmer Empire for centralized government affairs. Depressingly, when the Khmer Empire's centralized government power grew too corrupted and it was diminishing, the Thai and Vietnamese Kingdoms successfully overthrew the Khmer Empire, resulting in the Khmer shifting their main government from Angkor Wat to Phnom Penh and Cambodia being reduced to a small country even to this day, despite the alliance with the Chinese-ruled Tang and Song dynasties. In the 1970s, Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge were triggered that they lost so much of their former territories and they were paranoid that Vietnam will take over Cambodia, so the Cambodian holocaust occurred, which ethnic cleansed most Vietnamese-Cambodians and the Khmer Rouge invaded South Vietnam. Being unsuccessful in annexing South Vietnam, Vietnamese soldiers easily wiped the floor with the Khmer Rouge and the Hanoi government installed Hun Sen as the eternal prime minister of Cambodia from the 1980s to the present day.

Get the Khmer mug.An economic and political system in which a nation's companies are controlled by the super rich rather than the people. Capitalism can be beneficial for producers to innovate in creating new products. Also, consumers can pursue higher-paying jobs to earn more cash to buy more expensive products that they desire the most. Nonetheless, some capitalist countries, such as the USA, Russia, China, Venezuela, and Japan, are being detrimental in the way that they are inflating prices or taxes of products that leads to the downsides of capitalism. Examples are the lack of a Universal Healthcare, below-average minimum wage, micro-transactions in video games, the Student Debt Crisis, increased world hunger, and imperialism in foreign countries to steal resources and to boost economic jobs. Furthermore, if you are born poor at the bottom of the hierarchy, then you are most likely to stay there, unless you get lucky by winning a slot machine at a casino or winning a lottery to get out of the poverty line. To an extreme, capitalism is enslaving workers to their graves in factories without them having enough spare time to be with their family members, but it will ultimately crumble.
As the income gap continues to widen, the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. In other words, more poor people will suffer and die under capitalism. Capitalism needs to be heavily replaced by democratic socialism to allow poor workers to share and to control the means of production equally, as well as stealing millions or billions of dollars from the super wealthy businessmen to distribute equally among themselves. Therefore, the 1% super wealthy businessmen will no longer be abusive to poor workers' rights and will no longer continue to sit on their lazy asses doing absolutely nothing to contribute to society.

Get the Capitalism mug.A humanoid sex machine, used for lonely and single people to treat it as their substitute human lover, since they can't find a real human to hook up with, thanks to unfaithful lovers, low self-esteem issues, ugly looks, or a bad hygiene. Moreover, single people can engage sexual intercourse with sex robots without any risks of getting pregnant or deadly STDs. Similar to masturbation, Sex robots are a form of safe sex, so single people can imitate pornographic sexual techniques, such as vaginal sex, genital fingering, a blowjob, cunnilingus, anilingus, and anal sex, whatever they please to sex robots. Woefully, sex robots are still in their infancy. In other words, sex robots are not mostly functional and they don't look and act almost exactly like humans yet until a few decades or so pass by and humans being engaged to sex robots will be normalized by 2050. By that time, sex robots will make the human population to gradually decrease, which is beneficial to conserve more resources for earth's biodiversity.
Just like with future technologies, including 3D printers, virtual reality, nano-machines, and automation, sex robots will enhance the lives of people by a huge margin. On the other hand, once misogynists or incels acquire their own sex robots and sex robots' artificial wombs for breeding purposes, those virgin losers will either abandon women or even go on a shooting rampage against women or feminists. All because of those pricks couldn't have a one-night stand with women. I don't mind sex robots, but I wish those angry dudes can just take a chill pill and seek out other ways to enjoy life.
