   • 潮州話是泰國華社的強勢漢語方言，泰國華人，特別是中老年華人，無論祖籍是否為廣東潮汕地區，通常都會說潮州話，有的甚至不會說自己祖籍地的方言，只說潮州話。 [MSC, trad.]

     Teochew is the dominant Chinese dialect within the Chinese community of Thailand. Thai Chinese, especially the middle-aged and elderly, are often able to speak Teochew regardless of whether their ancestral hometowns are located in the Chaoshan region of Guangdong or not. Some are even unable to speak the dialects of their ancestral hometowns, speaking only Teochew.

2. (specifically) the dialect of Teochew spoken in the city of Chaozhou

Usage notes

• In Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, it is common to use 潮州話 as the general term for the Teochew dialect. This usage is often considered dated in Mainland China, especially in Guangdong, where 潮汕話／潮汕话 (cháoshànhuà) may be preferred as the general term.
