Dialect refers to languages ​​spoken at the most basic level, languages ​​that some groups of people feel comfortable speaking, but which at the same time cause separation between strangers.

Chinese is a dialect that has slowly developed into a common means of communication for most Chinese families, despite their different language groups. Most Malaysian Chinese adolescents aged 20 and under have lost their native language, and most of them no longer communicate in their native dialects.
