Get the cantonese cupcake 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 Chinese dialect that is quite different from Mandarin. At this time of writing, Cantonese is not available on Google Translate, but available on Microsoft Translator.
Why is Cantonese, the official language of Hong Kong and Macau, not on Google Translate?! Not all Chinese dialects are the same, Google!
