I’ve noticed this for years. Actually, after learning Mandarin in Taiwan for a while, I am now able to hear a Beijinger from miles away. They totally do sound like pirates compared to southern Chinese people’s Mandarin.

Reminds me of my first year Mandarin project where I made up a story about my pirate alter ego pretty much for the sole purpose of declaring that she’s 22 years old and getting to point somewhere on a map and say “She lives here!”

I love this so much. I am sending this link to my former Chinese teacher/Beijing friend.
