Being Chinese, couldn't help but comment:

I'm fluent in Cantonese and I've had people trying to talk to me in
Mandarin thinking the difference would be the equivalent difference
between American-English and Brit-English. I don't understand a damn
word, it's not just an accent, it may as well be a different language,
okay, the writing is the same but that's the only common aspect.
Little point: The word for rain in Cantonese literally translates to
'drop-sea'. For Gukka (Guest language, another dialect very similar, not
sure about the spelling), it translates to 'drop-water'.

Oh? Blimey, never knew about that... That's why it's secret I suppose.
