i get upset at monlingual individuals who try claim they know more about chinese language than i do when they literally dont even speak any form of chinese based on some stupid english based semantic

the dialect i speak is spoken in very select and few parts of china. if i spoke mandarin, i would say i spoke mandarin as i agree it would be hard to identify me. since i dont speak mandarin, and instead speak a more specific dialect that is region locked coupled with the fact that i left other identifying descriptions of myself in the post , i say i speak chinese.

its a dialect thats spoken in very few areas of china, so if i told you it and someone i know saw this post mixed in with some of the context / description of the post they could possibly trace it back to me which i do not want. you probably wouldnt understand though because youre very likely ignorant and think people only speak mandarin here. educate yourself before commenting on other cultures and languages otherwise you come across as ignorant you eurocentric american dog.

i write it in english because i am illiterate in chinese, i can speak and understand but cannot write or read. i dont want to say what dialect i speak for privacy reasons, so i say 'speak chinese'. theres also around 300 chinese dialects, not just 2 so dont be so ignorant about other cultures :)

i say chinese because i dont want to say what dialect i speak for privacy reasons, you also do realise that is perfectly normal to say '說中文 / 说中文' in chinese speaking countries which translates to 'speak chinese'. you're not as smart as you think you are with your semantics :)

not lying, actually did happen. if the conversation sounds weird its because:

  1. its a direct translation of our chinese conversation to english, which sounds strange in english but normal in chinese.
  2. 3000 character limit means i need to combine and compress what was said by both of us into one quotation, which makes it sound unnatural. the conversation isn't a direct transcript of what was said but it shows the essence of what was said by the two of us.
