Nji6 hau3! Ngo mjeng Andy. Mja siang jang?
Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Ngai language.

The Ngai language is classified as a dialect of Shaozhou Tuhua (unclassified Chinese variety of languages) located in Northern Guangdong province. The Ngai language is mutually unintelligible with other Shaozhou Tuhua dialects and other Chinese languages such as Gan, Xiang, Cantonese, Min, and Mandarin. Hakka, Cantonese, and Mandarin have influenced the Shaozhou Tuhua languages, however, the Ngai Language has also received influence from Min languages and local Yao languages. The Ngai language has few speakers left, mainly spoken by the elderly and little proficient in younger generations. In addition, the Shaozhou Tuhua languages and Ngai Dialect are spoken by both Han and Yao Chinese.
