Quote:The Mandarin dialect __is__ Chinese. The Cantonese dialect __is__ Chinese. The Hakka dialect __is__ Chinese. The Shanghai dialect __is__ Chinese.
Little clarification here - Hakka, Shanghainese, Cantonese, Mandarin etc... are not merely dialects of Chinese. Chinese is the broad umbrella for many different languages. Just like "French" would encompany Langue de roi, Provencal, Langue d'Oc, etc... or Italic would be Latin, Oscan, Umbrian, etc... Otherwise, all else is correct.
