The Hakka language is a Chinese dialect belonging to the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is primarily spoken by the Hakka people, who are known for their unique culture and history. Hakka is prevalent in regions of southern China, such as Guangdong and Jiangxi, and among overseas communities in countries like Malaysia and Taiwan. Hakka has several regional variations, which can differ significantly in pronunciation and vocabulary. The language uses a tonal system, meaning that the pitch or intonation can change the meaning of words. Despite its variations, Hakka speakers share a common linguistic heritage that connects them to their ancestors.
