A BBC story about the Teochew movie I posted about recently.
Teochew is my mother tongue and I hate that I have rarely / never been able to listen to or watch media in it, because of Mandarin hegemony everywhere.

@skinnylatte very interesting background about Chinese dialects in SG. It took maybe 200 years for e.g. France to go from suppressing dialects to now when there's starting to be options for children to learn them in schools again. Looks like it may be faster in this case!
