This paper empirically studies the impact of Mandarin and Cantonese attitudes on Cantonese variation, and finds that Mandarin values have a significant positive impact on Cantonese variation, while Cantonese emotions and values have a significant negative impact on Cantonese variation. The impact of Cantonese emotional attitude on language variation is generally stronger than that of Cantonese value attitude. The protection of dialects and the promotion of popularization policies should be implemented in the same direction to maintain language diversity and promote the harmonious development of language ecology.
