新加坡同安会馆 (Singapore Tung Ann District Guild), 141 Cecil Street #09-00/03 Tung Ann Association Building

身为同安人，你会说同安话吗？同安话是闽南话的一种，语音上和厦门话略有差异。闽南语历史悠久，很多闽南话和中文古字是相通的。譬如，闽南话中的读册，即我们所说的读书。而古代刻在竹片上的书为册。学闽南话，有助年轻一代学习华文华语。

身为会馆会员。余先生希望通过趣味教学法，激发会员和子女对学习闽南话的兴趣。他也将点出闽南话和华文的共通处，借此加强年轻人学习华文的兴趣，提高华文水平。余先生也是资深新闻工作者。

Jimei district is another area nearby or in the vincity of Amoy town(Xiamen City) and it is an important area where there are schools and education centres. Many patriots who valued education had set up heritage places for the future generations such as the University of Jemei and Xiamen.

Example: Tan Lark Sye ( 陳六使/Tan Lark Sye, 1896 ~ 1972)

Tan Lark Sye came from the same village as Tan Kah Kee, Jimei of Tong an County of Fujian Province.

Born into a peasant family of seven of very limited means, and orphaned young, he had little chance of an education before he made his way to Nanyang in his teens in 1916 together with his brothers.

What about Tan Kah Kee?

Tan Kah Kee: the Founding Father of Xiamen University

Xiamen University was founded in 1921, the first university in China to be established by an Overseas Chinese leader. Mr. Tan Kah-Kee was the pioneer of private education in China, spending his entire fortune in support of education in his native country. Tan Kah-Kee is an inspirational figure in China’s history of education, and was described by Mao Zedong as a “Standard-bearer of the Overseas Chinese and Glory of the Nation”. He was the first President of the China Overseas Chinese League, and outstanding Overseas Chinese leader, a great patriot, and an eminent entrepreneur, educator and social activist.

Standard-bearer of the Overseas Chinese and Glory of the Nation

Tan Kah-Kee was born on October 21st, 1874 in Jimei, in what was then Tong’an County in Fujian Province—currently Jimei District of Xiamen. He was born into an Overseas Chinese family, and was sent to a private school at the age of 7, to be educated in the traditional Chinese manner. He left China for Singapore at the age of 17 to work in his father’s business. He took over the company in 1904, but eventually it failed. In 1916, he started his own business in rubber planting and processing. By 1925, Tan Kah-Kee had become famous as an entrepreneur, known as one of the four founders of the “Malaya Rubber Kingdom” in Singapore.

Dalforce you are which type of Hokkien?

Dalforce 1941 SG

Dalforce you are which type of Hokkien?

Sad to say I am not sure. Must go check with my dad.

You from Tong Ann?

BanguIzai SG

You from Tong Ann?

From Quemoy.

Dalforce 1941 SG

From Quemoy.

Quemoy still not unified with China.

BanguIzai SG

Quemoy still not unified with China.

Unified or not, does not matter with dialectal classification.

You might as well say, since Thai language and Lao language are 1 family, why not unify Thailand and Laos?

Or Czech language, Slovak language, near to each other. Go unify Czech & Slovakia again?

Or Swedish language, Norwegian language, Danish language, near to each other. Go unify Sweden, Norway, Denmark?

Or Pakistani language, Hindi language, near to each other. Go unify Pakistan & India?

Or American language, British language, Australian language, Canadian language, near to each other. Go unify USA, Britian, Australia, Canada?

Like that Singapore can unify with Britain.

BanguIzai SG

Like that Singapore can unify with Britain.

If you unify countries on the basis of language, then you should also split countries on the basis of language.

Example:

The Uyghur people of Xinjiang in China speaks Uyghur. Therefore Xinjiang should be cut-out from China.

The Tibetans of Tibet in China speaks Tibetan. Therefore Tibet should be cut-out from China.

The Balinese of Bali in Indonesia speaks Balinese. Therefore Bali should be expelled from Indonesia.

In the Netherlands, there are about 50%-50% factions of French-speaking and Dutch-speaking (Walloon) population. The country should split up.

In Turkey, the eastern portion of the country speaks Kurdish. Therefore, the independence movement of the Kurds for the country of Kurdistan is legitimate and they should be cut-out from Turkey to form their own country.

Is this what you mean?

So therefore, why should Quemoy unify with China since Quemoy is Quemoy-Hokkien speaking while China is Mandarin-National-Tongue?
