I'm currently trying to learn how to speak and understand Chinese language (Amoy) since I really need it when trading.
Which is better or faster to learn? I'm not really familiar which is more widely used in the business community but my chinoy friends say that it is better for me to learn Amoy first then Mandarin.
Thanks!

Amoy or Fookien is just a chinese dialect in the fujian province and also taiwan..most of our southeast asian neighbors speaks canotonese and mandarin. Go for Mandarin.

sir gone in 60 seconds, i suggest fukien. why? kasi most chinese speaks fukien. after learning fukien, then go to mandarin kasi this is the national language ng china and eto ang internationally spoken chinese dialect.
so sir, kung plano mo lang eh for local conversation o pang pilipinas lang, fukien is the way to go. but learning both is good.

Majority of the local Chinoys here speak Fookien language, but Chinese schools here teach Mandarin which is the official Chinese language with the medium of instructions and explanation in Fookien

Mandarin. Pero Fookien is more used by FILIPINO-CHINESE since most Tsinoys came from Fujian province. Pero Mandarin is the common language of everyone. Pumunta ka Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taiwan and yes even Xiamen in Fujian maiintindihan ka nila kapag Madarin.

If you want to trade in binondo...fookien... if international trade...mandarin. taiwan also speak fookien but very sharp sound unlike in the philippines it more with "ah" at the end.
