Difference between Mandarin & Cantonese

There are lots of differences between Mandarin and Cantonese even though they share many Chinese characters and even sounds.  Mandarin speakers and Cantonese speakers cannot understand each other unless they learn the other language. Mandarin and Cantonese are two different languages, but Google is continuing its big mistakes by considering Cantonese as the same or nearly the same language as Mandarin and they would not create a Cantonese selection for their Google Translate.

This article is written in hope that Google would realize their mistake someday and add Cantonese to their Google Translate. Please pass this article to someone related in Google so they can start to understand.
