the Hakka people might be labelled as “Kwangtung people” since they had migrated to Szechwan (Sìchuān) or Taiwan, making it likely that the so-called 廣東語 (literally “Kwangtung language”) there may refer to Hakka rather than Cantonese. In an effort to clear up any misunderstanding,

Similarly, there is the Cantonese word 麻麻 and the Japanese word まあまあ, both pronounce [maa maa] and both means "so-so". We can't rule out the possibility that there was some kind of missing link between the two civilisations in the ancient times.

兮 is rarely used in the modern Yellow River（黃河） civilisation, but the word 係 has been developed in Kwangtung (both Cantonese and Hakka), and はい has become Japanese for the Liao River（遼河） civilisation.

Since the word 兮 [hei] appeared in Classical Chinese（漢文）, I assumed that [hai (hei)] might be an exclamation in ancient times, when East Asia had no written language.

In Cantonese varieties which still keep pre-1950s Kwang-chow (and Hong Kong) accent, such as conservative accent of Wuzhou梧州 dialect, there are distinctions between the group of z c s j and the group of zj cj sj (these 3 are pronounced as Mandarin j q x) nj (this one sounds like Spanish ñ).
