(For those interested, that's Mandarin, Yue/Cantonese, Min, Wu, Gan, Xiang, Hakka, Jin ... and two others I can't think off off the top of my head at the moment.)

Famously Yue and Mandarin differ about as much as French and Portuguese. But even within the groups there are mostly-unintelligible dialects. For example Min has Minbei and Minnan (north and south), and these are about as different as, say, Spanish and Catalan.
