客家話(Hakka Chinese)是漢語的一個重要分支,主要分布在中國南方。由于客家人相互之間長期處于封閉狀態,因此客家話發展出眾多的變體和方言。盡管如此,客家話仍然被視為客家人的身份象征。隨著社會的發展,客家人與其他族群交流越來越密切,客家話的傳承出現了危機,因此現在越來越多的人加入到了保護客家話的行列。
Hakka Chinese, one of the major Chinese language varieties, is mainly spoken in Southern China. Despite the numerous variants and dialects it has developed due to the long isolation among the Hakka people, the Hakka language is still considered as a symbol of identification among them. With the development of society, however, Hakka Chinese is facing inheritance crisis because of the increasingly close communication between the Hakka people and people from other ethnic groups, and thus more and more people are dedicated to the preservation of Hakka Chinese.
