Does Bruce Lee originally speak Cantonese or Mandarin?
Probably Cantonese : “Lee’s Cantonese given name was Jun Fan.” “Lee and his parents returned to Hong Kong when he was three months old.” “Lee’s father Hoi-Chuen was a famous Cantonese Opera star. Thus, through his father, Bruce was introduced into films at a very young age and appeared in several short black-and-white films as a child.” “Lee’s screen names were respectively Lee Siu Lung (in Cantonese), and Li Xiao Long (in Mandarin) […] which literally translates to “Lee the Little Dragon” in English. These names were first used by director 袁步雲 of the 1950 Cantonese movie 細路祥, in which Lee would perform.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee “Hong Kong’s de-facto official dialect is Cantonese” http://en.wikipedia.
