Min Chinese is a group of Chinese dialects spoken primarily in the Fujian province of China and by overseas Chinese communities. It is one of the major branches of the Sinitic language family and includes several varieties, such as Hokkien and Teochew. These dialects are known for their distinct phonetics and vocabulary, making them quite different from Mandarin. The Min dialects are characterized by their rich cultural heritage, including unique literature, music, and traditions. Due to historical migration, Min Chinese is also spoken in various countries, including Taiwan, Singapore, and parts of Southeast Asia, contributing to its global presence.
