There is no 话语 or 华语
To say that the Mandarin dialect is 华语 is to say that the other dialects are not. If the other dialects are not Chinese then what had your forefathers been speaking?
In Singapore our 普通话 is English btw

You really good at 胡说八道。

Ang Mo is not a race. It's a collective term for 西方人。 Germans are angmoh, French and Italians too. British, Spanish, Greeks.
My race is Han btw and I believe you too.

what is 满汉全席?
and why there was 满汉全席?
before 满汉全席 there was 汉语 cause there is not manchu
after the manchu raped and captured han chinese (The Ming dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of China ruled by the (汉人) Han people)
and after the 满汉全席, there was 华语
and after the Chow cheesie pie (CCP) take over the last dynastic and the warlords of china
they named their language 普通话

看来二毛们虽然不认同于华,但并不排斥汉。这应该是一种委曲求全的做法吧

I had never been mistaken about me being a Han Singaporean and never lined up at the wrong row at any Chinese airport.
And I also lined up at the correct row at Singapore's airport.

guang dong is already the most populous province
Not to forget chunk of migrant workers from neighboring provinces
Speaking some Cantonese is not surprising.
