Hello. I'm a hakka too.. .(feels a little like Alcoholics Anonymous) but definitely nothing to be ashamed of! - Unlike when I was growing up, where many relatives from Hong Kong Cantonese background mocked the Hakka language, saying it was inferior... Well, my husband's Thai so I'm not sure what our kids will grow up speaking...
Incidentally, there are a few similarities between Thai and Hakka... numbers and some odd words. |

I'm Hakka and I'm a computer hacker as well. So I'm a Hakka hacker.
I can understand Hakka and speak a bit too. |

Im a Hakka BBC, My dads family are from Lam Tsuen. My Village is Pak Ngau Shek. I can understand a little cantonese but i dont speak it. My Mum is Vietnamese/Philipino but born as raised in HK as Hakka too.
Anyways I agree with Afrobro, the Hakka is a dying language. people need to speak more of it. Me and My other half who is from Slovia, when we have kids we have decided she will speak Slovac to them and I will speak Hakka to them. only way they can appreciate both cultures. |

| I'm Hakka and as well, i fink alot of people are. I fink the most famous Hakka in the history was a man who started the taiping rebellion, interesting read! Don't noe his name but very famous. About a Hakka guy who thought he was the brother of jesus and set up his own religious group. A heretic for sure. A rebellion against the Chin rule of china. U wud of thought that the foreign devil wud help out the enlighten man but they aided the chin instead, out of economic gain. Very bloody and very interesting read, massive rebellion in china, apparently in the end the inhabitants of the city all 100,000 decided to commit suicide instead rather than surrendering to chin. Cud explain why we all moved down south to sunnier shores of guangzhou because of the chin perscution, thats my hyposis, anyway don't want to spoil the end. |

People seem to think that Hakka is a dying language. There are still over 60million people around the world that speak the language, it's going to be a while before it dies down.
I'm Hakka and damn proud of it, I speak Hakka to my parents, hakka to my friends and best of all, I speak hakka to my gf (well teach her).
Let's all meet up for bear jil and tang jip.
