The ancestors of Zhangzhou who came to Taiwan to open up wasteland were half Hakka and half Minnan people in Zhangzhou. These Hakka dialects spoken in Zhangzhou belong to the western Fujian system, which is completely out of touch with Minnan dialects in Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and even with Hakka dialects in Meizhou and Huizhou. From the genealogical research, it is mainly distributed in Yilan County, Keelung City, Taipei County, Taoyuan County, Hsinchu County and Miao County. Zhangzhou Hakka dialect is different from Quanzhou Minnan dialect and Zhangzhou Minnan dialect, and Zhangzhou Hakka dialect is also different from Meizhou Hakka dialect and Huizhou Hakka dialect. The Hakkas in Zhangzhou never know that they are Hakkas, nor do they know that they are Hakkas. They always thought they were from Zhangzhou and spoke another Zhangzhou dialect. This Zhangzhou dialect is different from the coastal Zhangzhou dialect, and even more different from Quanzhou dialect. Hakka people in Zhangzhou, in particular, account for more than half of the number of people coming to Taiwan in Zhangzhou. However, because Zhangzhou and Quanzhou are mainly in Minnan dialect, the Hakka dialect spoken in Zhangzhou belongs to the western Fujian system and cannot communicate with Hakka dialects spoken in Meizhou and Hailu. Therefore, they mistakenly think that Hakka dialect spoken in western Fujian is a branch of Minnan dialect, and they never know that they are speaking Hakka dialect. Over time, these Hakkas all speak Minnan dialect. Today Tainan, Chiayi, Yunlin, Yunlin. Until the Japanese occupation era, Fujian people were still considered to be Fujian people, and they all said Minnan dialect (ie Minnan dialect); Cantonese people are called Cantonese, and they all speak Cantonese (that is, Hakka dialect), but many people in Fujian speak Hakka dialect, and Cantonese people speak Hakka dialect (Yuedong dialect) instead of Cantonese (Cantonese Cantonese Cantonese).
Among Fujian immigrants, there are not only Fujian Fulao and Zhang Ting Hakkas, but also people who don't speak Minnan dialect but speak Fujian dialect. Generally speaking, there are five dialects in China: Cantonese, Minnan, Wu, Hakka and Putonghua, and sometimes there are two dialects: Xiang (from Putonghua) and Gan (Gan and Hakka, Wu Youyuan). Some people think that Mindong dialect is the eighth largest dialect in Chinese, which shows the great difference between Minnan dialect and Mindong dialect.
