Are there any forgotten Cantonese words?
I wonder if I have seen "Cantonese Fragments". Obviously, everyone speaks the same spoken language. Why can't I understand what he said? Because the expression of many words has changed, even the whole word has been forgotten. Take Cantonese in Hong Kong as an example. Due to the changes of the times, many words have been rarely used. But it doesn't rule out that people are still using it. Bean sprout is the product of germination of leguminous crops seeds after soaking, and it is used as a vegetable for human consumption. The most common is mung bean, which is called bean sprout or mung bean sprout. There are also bean sprouts, pea seedlings, broad bean seedlings, alfalfa seedlings and so on. Fine bean sprouts (mung bean sprouts) are smaller than big bean sprouts (soybean sprouts), hence the name. Cantonese is a language that originated in the northern Central Plains (the mother tongue of the Han nationality) and spread to Guangdong and Guangxi during the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is also the dominant language in Hong Kong and Macao, which is called vernacular or Cantonese by the people. Cantonese is a kind of tonal language, belonging to Sino-Tibetan language family.

It is widely used in China, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hongkong, Macau and Southeast Asia, as well as in Chinese communities in North America, Britain and Australia. Its name comes from the "Nanyue State" in the ancient Lingnan area of China (Hanshu as "Nanyue State"). As early as a few years ago, linguists Ye and Professor Luo Kangning pointed out in their article "The Origin of Cantonese" that Cantonese has nothing to do with the ancient "Hundred Cantonese". It was brought by Han immigrants from the Central Plains, and retained the characteristics of ancient Chinese in the Central Plains, which was preserved, developed and spread abroad in Xijiang region. This sentence is obviously wrong. Cantonese is a language that originated in the northern Central Plains (the mother tongue of the Han nationality), spread to Guangdong and Guangxi during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and merged with the local ancient Vietnamese, that is, ancient Baiyue. Some people think that "Cantonese does retain some elements of ancient Vietnamese, but its main source is ancient Chinese, that is, elegant words". Modern Cantonese retains many elements of ancient Chinese, more of which are elements of ancient South Vietnam. Its main sources are ancient Chinese in the Central Plains and ancient South Vietnamese.
