A major reason why people learn either Mandarin or Cantonese is that it is useful in the global economy and its usage in the marketplace is likely to expand, because of China's rapidly growing economy.

which one of 20-some dialects do you have in mind? If we have to learn a second language it should be that of the Natives of your region, be it Hopi or Iroqouis.
