Siyi Yue has a representative dialect that is related to what larger language?
Siyi Yue Siyi (Seiyap or Sze Yup in Cantonese; ) is a coastal branch of Yue Chinese spoken mainly in Guangdong province, but is also used in overseas Chinese communities. Within the province, it is mainly spoken in the prefecture-level city of Jiangmen, but pockets exist outside of Jiangmen, including the Doumen and Jinwan districts in Zhuhai, Guzhen in Zhongshan and Jun'an in Foshan. Taishanese, which was one of the most important Chinese dialects in Chinese American communities, is considered a representative dialect.
Sifu Sifu (from Cantonese spelling) or shīfu (from Mandarin spelling) is a title for and role of a skillful person or a master. It may be written with the Chinese characters 師傅 ( )/师傅 ( ) or 師父/师父. The character 師/师 means "skilled person", while the meaning of 傅 is "tutor" and the meaning of 父 is "father." Both characters 傅 and 父 are pronounced ""fu"" with the same tones in Cantonese and Mandarin, creating some ambiguity. A similar term often used in Chinese is 老師/老师 (Cantonese Chinese pronunciation: "lou5 si1"; Mandarin Chinese pronunciation: "lǎoshī"), meaning "teacher" or literally "old person of skill".
