Quest -



Quote:

Please let me know how good you reckon he is compared to the above people. In terms of accent,
fluency etc. He is my idol.

Very fluent, with some accent. I'd still put him where I put him in my last post.



Quote:

sorry Quest, I'm curious about the 乡下话 accent. Are you saying that these people sound like
native speakers but with a non-'standard', yet non-'foreign', accent?

Yes, 乡下话/乡音 is a non standard accent that does not sound foreign.



Quote:

If so, shouldn't their accent be considered as native as that of the others, albeit of a
non-standard variety?

The Indian mother is native as I stated above.

Kids, there are millions of " Non-Chinese Cantonese speakers". Just remember that most USA, Canada
and UK Chinatowns are mainly Cantonese speaking.

These people you are referring have Chinese ethnicity, that doesn't count. This thread is about
Non-Chinese Cantonese speakers. Not Chinese people born overseas or who have migrated to another
country hence losing their citizenship.

Wannabeafreak, I think Robby's nickname should be titled to you, 完美主义者. Go!
Wannabeafreak!!!! Be careful don't get lost somewhere, because language is alive. It can be
changed from time to time. Especially a language like Hongkong Cantonese influenced by
multiculture.

What do you think of him( an American teaches Chinese in University), Wannabeafreak?

I wish I had his language skills I know someone who went to one of his lectures and said he has an
enormous knowledge of Chinese language both Cantonese and Mandarin, much more than other Chinese
lecturers.

However, my wife (native speaker) said he is fluent but speaks like an old person (no offense to
anyone).
