Chaozhou dialect and Cantonese have many similarities because of frequent communication. Just like Cantonese, Chaozhou dialect also has many monosyllabic words, which vaguely reflects its long history, because monosyllabic words are very common in medieval Chinese. However, since the standardization of modern standard Chinese, Chaozhou dialect has absorbed many Putonghua words, most of which are disyllabic words. And with many immigrants from chaozhou people to Southeast Asia, Chaozhou dialect has also added many words from Malay. In addition to Malay, Chaozhou dialect in overseas areas also borrowed English words, some of which returned to Chaoshan area with returned overseas Chinese, but most of these foreign language words are no longer used.

The sidewalk under the arcade in Xinma Town is 5 feet wide, so it is called Kakilima in Malay. Western-style blocks appeared in Chaoshan town in modern times.

Lima translates as "five" and kaki translates as "foot base". Duo tolong, borrowed from Malay, has two meanings, one is asking for help and care, and the other is asking for forgiveness and pity.
