I think those 3 words I've mentioned are quite symbolic.For
example:
国家 - In cantonese, it's "kuok ga", in viet, it's "quoc sa"
感恩 - In cantonese, it's "gam yen", in viet, it's "gam en"
大学 - In cantonese, it's "dai hoc", in viet, it's "dai hoc"
A few more in random reference to your earlier postings:
独立 - In cantonese, it's "dok lup", in viet, it's "doc lap"
生日- In cantonese, it's "sang yet", in viet, it's "sinh nhat"
学生 - In cantonese, it's "hoc sang", in viet, it's "hoc sinh"
客栈 - In cantonese, it's "hak zan", in viet, it's "khach san"
I asked because my analysis is not wholly similar to Cantonese,
but rather similar to all the dialects of Southern China.
See my short random analysis posted in the past:
