Mandarin Mingled by Cantonese is common in Guangdong dialect area. Its main manifestation is the heterogeneous pronunciation and vocabulary, and its performance degree can measure speakers’ Mandarin level. In the summer of 2019, this paper conducted a survey on the Pearl River Delta area and found that: (1) the rank of Mandarin of each city is from high to low: Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing; (2) The degree index of Mandarin Mingled by Cantonese in the Pearl River Delta is calculated. It’s wise to strengthen the promotion of Mandarin in Guangdong, to promote the balanced development of regional economic integration.
