Growing up I learned a mix of mandarin Taishan and Cantonese but I just realized I’ve always learned 1-4 in mandarin and 5-10 in taishan and when someone taught me how to count fully in mandarin I was so confused

My wife speaks the Kaiping 開平 dialect of Taishanese (I just speak Cantonese), and when she speaks "9" it's different from Taishanese. Taishanese "giu" vs Kaiping dialect "gau", though her "3" is pretty much exactly the same as Taishanese, with the signature "lh" pronunciation

So far I have: Hello個個好,我係雯雯,今晚我會教偌几何數數,希望偌可以睇该个頻dou學aau几何數一之十,準備好未? In Cantonese, I would write: Hello個個好,我係雯雯,今晚我會教你哋點樣數數,希望你哋會睇呢個頻嚟學點樣數一之十,準備好未? Please correct me if I am wrong and fill in my missing words. I know Taishanese is not really a written language, but there are words that correspond with what you say as seen in this dictionary www.stephen-li.com/TaishaneseVocabulary/Taishanese.html If you don't know how to type it in Taishanese, you can type the equivalent Cantonese or Mandarin word and I can translate it to Taishanese using the dictionary.

Hey Patrick, thanks for watching! It's not wrong because it's still Taishanese, it's simply a different way of pronouncing it. I've heard of 'ngi' and 'lhi' before, too, but Taishanese people from different regions of Taishan area have slightly different sounds on certain syllables. The ''ngey' and 'lhey' that I pronounce is based on my Dad's way of pronouncing it, and his Taishanese is based off of the more urban areas in Taicheng, the capital area. My mom, on the other hand, pronounces it like 'ngi' and 'lhi' like you do, and her Taishanese is based off of the more remote rural villages, like Sui-Boo. As for me, I follow mostly my Dad's way of pronunciation because it's closer to the more widely-spoken version of Taishanese from the urban areas. I'm curious to know where you learn your Taishanese from! :)

the "ei" vowel is spoken more in the Northern 1/3 of Taishan which is closer to Guangzhou, where as the "i" vowel is pronounced in the majority of Taishan - central and southern 2/3 of Taishan, which is further from Guangzhou and preserve better Taishanese. Taishanese preserves better the older form of Chinese than Cantonese as we migrated from the North to Guangdong province much later than the Cantonese, hence which is why it sounds closer to Middle Chinese. Even similar to Hakka and to Mandarin. Example: 你 = Ni,飛機 = Fi Gi,皮膚 = Pi Fu,鼻= Bi,梨 = Li. Taicheng Taishanese is North of Taishan and is closer to Xinhui and Guangzhou which shifted the vowel from "i" -> "ei" so becomes 你 = Nei,飛機 = Fei Gei,皮膚 = Pei Fu,鼻= Bei,梨 = Lei.. In Middle Chinese (中古漢語), the vowels are "i" not "ei"... which Central and Southern Taishanese and Hakka preserves well.
@patrickseto3674

i'm from Chonglou, which is right below Taicheng and we pronounce using "i" vowel. Most of Taishan speak using "i" vowel except the northern tip of Taishan which is closer to Guangzhou and Xinhui, which speak with "ei" vowel. I think Taishanese is the only Cantonese dialect that is closer to Jiangxi province dialect and Hakka and preserves better Middle Chinese (中古漢語). For example, Taishanese is the only Yue (粵) dialect that uses 哪 = Nai .. which Mandarin (哪裡 = Na Li) and Hakka (哪 = Nai) use too. Also only one that uses 哪個 = Nai Goi.. which Mandarin (哪個 = Na Ge) and Hakka (哪個 = Nai Ge). Also we are the only Yue (粵) dialect that pronounces 人 as "ngin" just like Hakka (人 = Ngin), Shanghainese (人 = Nin), and Middle Chinese (人= Nyin).

i'm really passionate about studying Taishanese and comparing it with other Chinese dialects and Chinese influenced languages like Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese. Also comparing it to Middle Chinese, which Taishanese and Hakka are really close to it. Taishan Cantonese or Si Yip Cantonese sounds the most different from other Cantonese dialects (ie Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Shunde, Nanning, etc) because they immigrated from the North of China to the South into Guangdong province very late and therefore settled in the least fertile lands of Guangdong province, whereas the most fertile area for farming were centered around the Guangzhou area, hence which is why people in Sze Yap lived in poverty and ended up migrating to Hong Kong, Canada, and the US from the 1850 and onwards. The migration pattern is from Henan -> Anhui -> Jiangxi -> Guangdong. The northern part of Jiangxi province speaks Gan dialect which is related to Hakka, whereas Hakka still live in Southern Jiangxi and in neighbouring Guangdong and Fujian province. Both dialects are quite similar to Taishanese and other Cantonese dialects, but Taishanese seems to retain more similarities to Hakka and even Mandarin, which is why many famous Hong Kong stars are of Taishan origin because of the Northern Chinese features.
