‍The UnitedNations has officially defined Cantonese as a language, which is a greatcelebration for nearly 120 million Cantonese people around the world!

‍Of all Chinese,only Cantonese and Putonghua are recognized and defined as languages by theUnited Nations!

 ‍

‍The UnitedNations formally defines Cantonese as a language, (Language), but is no longerknown as the dialect (Dialect), and is recognized as one of the six mainlanguages used in daily life, (Leading Languages in daily use).

‍English（英語）

‍Chinese（中國普通話）

‍Russian（俄語）‍

‍French（法語）‍

‍Spanish（西班牙語）‍

‍Arabic（阿拉伯語‍‍

‍Cantonese is alanguage with Cantonese characters and its own pronunciation.

 ‍

‍At present,Cantonese has become the fourth largest language in Australia (English,Italian, Greek, Cantonese, Arabic) and Canada's third language (English,French, Cantonese). The third largest language in the United States (English,Spanish, Cantonese).‍

‍Cantonese iswidely used in Southeast Asia and has a strong influence in Malaysia. Cantoneseenjoys official language status in Hong Kong and Macao!

‍In addition,Cantonese is the only major Chinese language studied independently in foreignuniversities.

 ‍

‍Each languagehas its usage and pronunciation. We respect the policies and requirements ofthe state regarding the promotion of Putonghua, but languages often do notexist in isolation. Language is the carrier of culture and has a significancebeyond the general function of communication. Therefore, the promotion ofPutonghua and the preservation and use of Putonghua, It is not contradictory toprotect dialects.‍

‍Everyone whoknows how to speak Cantonese can share it with forward. I hope to spread thismessage to 100 million people and defend Cantonese. Everyone has theresponsibility!‍

聯合國正式定義粵語為一種語言，此乃全球近1億2千萬粵人的大喜事！

在所有華語中只有粵語和普通话被聯合國承認定并定義為語言！

聯合國正式定義粵語為一種語言（Language），而不再被稱為方言（Dialect），並且認定為日常生活中主要運用的六種語言（Leading Languages in daily use）之一。

English（英語）

Chinese（中國普通話）

Cantonese（粵語）

Russian（俄語）

French（法語）

Spanish（西班牙語）

Arabic（阿拉伯語）

粵語是語言，有粵語字，有自己的發音。

目前粵語已經成為澳大利亞第四大語言（澳洲的日常用語有英語、意大利語、希臘語、粵語、阿拉伯語），加拿大第三大語言（加拿大日常用語有英語、法語、粵語），美國第三大語言（美國日常用語有英語、西班牙語，粵語）。

粵語在東南亞有廣泛的使用人群，在馬來西亞影響力非常強。粵語在香港、澳門享有官方語言地位！

此外，粵語亦是唯一在外國大學有獨立研究之中國语言的大語種。

每種語言都有其用法、發音上的特點。我們尊重國家有關推廣普通話的政策和要求，但語言往往不是孤立地存在的，語言是文化的載體，有其超越一般溝通功能的意義，所以推廣普通話與保留、使用、保護方言並不矛盾。

請每位識講廣東話的人，睇完都forward 分享出去，希望把這訊息傳到一億人的手中，保衛廣東話，人人有責！
