     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

• 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.
