Chinese languages

Would like to share an interesting article in the Malaysian Star Newspaper which stated that the Hokkien culture and language are better preserved in Malaysia than in China. Please log on to the following website for more information. http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/2/6/nation/106845...

Dear Site Adminstrator,

Your site has lately been invaded by too many spams. Hope something could be done to get rid of them & block new ones from coming in. Thanks.

My greatest fear of the Hokkien language & culture slowly dying even in Taiwan where Taiwanese Hokkiens form the overwhelming majority of the population seems to be coming true with the KMT gaining 3/4 control of the Taiwanese legislature lately which will give the Mainlanders in collaboration w...

For your info, on 13th October, 2007, Astr...
