Close; it's usually Cantonese and not Mandarin. But yes, otherwise true.
My understanding is Fuzhounese is also very common to be heard in Chinese restaurants. Fujian cuisine is one of the more commonly exported forms of Chinese cuisine.
But let's face it a P.H.D. Quantum mechanics is probably easier than understanding the regional languages and dialects of spoken Chinese.
I can usually tell Cantonese apart but you really have to be exposed to the sounds as a kid. I don't know any of it, though, I can only figure out the language being spoken and there's no way I'd know every dialect, haha.
You have me beat the best I have is knowing it is some form of Chinese. They only way I know it mandarin is if I catch some one saying "nǐ hǎo"
Can you order my food for me in quantum mechanics?
Sure quantum entanglement should allow for instantaneous ordering and instantaneous delivery.
But what if I can't decide what I want instantaneously?
It is always the human factor screwing things up.
Yeah was gonna say the majority of Chinese immigrants who own restaurants in America speak Cantonese. Definitely true in SF an NYC.
