kilfer SG

they grew up with dialect in their younger days, so it could be something sentimental to them... something for them to remember the old days when the kampong spirit was strong.

so be understanding towards their needs too.

Agree. Dialect is our real mother tongue, mandarin is not.

Speak dialects preserve one's roots.

mandarin was the dialect of Beijing residents in the past. Afterwards became common language of people in China.

nfshp253 SG

Mandarin was a dialect? Wow! What did the Beijing people normally speak then? Anyway, both my parents and my entire family and relatives all speak Cantonese, including me. Cantonese is our primary language, although I seem to be more fluent in English.

Time has changed, now the younger Singaporean Chinese parents talk to their children in English.

I think some years later, the PRC-turned-Singaporean parents will be the only one talking to their children in Mandarin.
