The Minnan language in Southeast Asia is seriously influenced by English and Malay. In private, Singaporeans usually occasionally speak Minnan in English and Malay, but many Malays and Indians are familiar with it.
Extended data:
In 2004, the total population of Hong Kong was 6.854 million, and the Fujian nationality (mostly Minnan people) was about 6.5438+0.6 million, accounting for about 20% of the total population of Hong Kong. Influenced by the local language, most people who can speak Minnan are the older generation over 50 years old. Some middle-aged people still speak Cantonese with many Minnan accents. Because the younger generation only uses Cantonese in education, broadcasting and government agencies, with the intermarriage between Minnan people and other ethnic groups, they generally switch to Cantonese in Hong Kong.
Minnan dialect is mainly distributed in Fujian Province and Taiwan Province Province.
Minnan dialect is mainly distributed in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Xiamen and Longyan, most of xinluo district and zhangping city, most of Datian and Youxi in Sanming, a small part of Fuding and Xiapu in Ningde, a small part of Jiaocheng District and a small part of Fuqing: some natural villages in Yuxi Town, Fuqing City.
