History
The Hakka people have their origins in several episodes of migration from northern China into southern China during periods of war and civil unrest. The forebearers of the Hakka came from present-day Henan and Shaanxi provinces, and brought with them features of dialects spoken in those areas during the time. (Since then the speech in those regions evolved into dialects of modern Mandarin.) The presence of many archaic features occur in modern Hakka, including final consonants -p -t -k, as found in other modern southern Chinese dialect, but have been lost in some northern Mandarin dialects.
Due to the migration of its speakers, Hakka language may have been influenced by other language areas where Hakka speaking forebears migrated through. For instance, common vocabulary found in Hakka, Min and Cantonese Chinese languages.
