A video of a Malaysian nonagenarian’s fluency in various Chinese dialects has impressed social media users, with many pointing out that even native speakers are not as good as her.
The video was uploaded by a former TV producer Mr Azril Baharudin, who said the elderly woman is known as Tok Mah or Makcik Mah among residents in Sungai Petani, a city in the northern Malaysian state of Kedah. She said she can speak Mandarin, Hainanese, Hakka, Teochew and “Macau” – presumably referring to Cantonese, which is spoken by residents in the gambling hub.
She then said “where are you going” and “have you eaten” in Mandarin, Hakka, Teochew, Hainan and Hokkien dialects.
