Southern Min
Southern Min, or Min Nan (simplified Chinese: 闽南语; traditional Chinese: 閩南語; pinyin: Mǐnnányǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bân-lâm-gí/Bân-lâm-gú), is a branch of Min Chinese spoken in certain parts of China including southern Fujian, eastern Guangdong, Hainan, and southern Zhejiang, and in Taiwan. The Min Nan dialects are also spoken by descendants of emigrants from these areas in diaspora.
In common parlance, Southern Min usually refers to Hokkien. Amoy and Taiwanese Hokkien are both combinations of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou speech. The Southern Min dialect group also includes Teochew, though Teochew has limited mutual intelligibility with Hokkien. Southern Min is not mutually intelligible with Eastern Min, Cantonese, or Standard Chinese.
Geographic distribution
China and Taiwan
Southern Min dialects are spoken in the southern part of Fujian, three southeastern counties of Zhejiang, the Zhoushan archipelago off Ningbo in Zhejiang, and the Chaoshan region in Guangdong. The variant spoken in Leizhou, Guangdong as well as Hainan is Hainanese and is not mutually intelligible with standard Southern Min or Teochew. Hainanese is classified in some schemes as part of Southern Min and in other schemes as separate.

Pleasantly Saying The Most Terrible Things
by: MoneenEverything's changing
Can't wait to see you when you die
Everything's changing
Can't wait to see you when you die
And with things changing
So much, so fast, so once, so while
And I'm still waiting to see you
When you die alone
And wait for nothing now
Sit alone and wait to die (to die)
Nothing changes...
So stop, so still, so cut and dry
I'm still waiting to say the truth that I can't wait to watch you die
I know you heard me say it now a million times
To say die alone and wait for nothing now
Wait! That's just not right!
To sit alone and wait for you to see that I have nothing left to say (to say)
To sit alone and wait for you to say (to say)
To sit alone and wait for you to say (to say)
To see that I have nothing left to say (to say)
Y-e-a-h
Summer's almost here...
Y-e-a-h
Summer's almost here...
Y-e-a-h
(I can't wait till you die)
Summer's almost here...
Almost here...
Wake up! Summer's almost here
Wake up! Summer's almost here
Wake up! Summer's almost here
(I can't wait till you die)
Wake up! Summer's almost here
