About Hakka Chinese

Hakka Chinese is a branch of the Chinese language family spoken by the Hakka people, primarily in the Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces of China, as well as in Taiwan and among overseas communities. It uses the Hanzi writing system. There are approximately 44 million native Hakka speakers. One interesting fact about Hakka is its role in preserving ancient Chinese music and folk songs, which are still performed at cultural events.
