Yes, the 音読み pronunciation is more similar to Cantonese, Hakka or Hokkien than Mandarin. This is true! Also, the usages of the 漢字 in Japanese are more similar to Cantonese. Hence, "食べる", "飲む“, while "吃” or "喝" are rarely used in Japanese.

そうが! そういうことだ 、ありがとうございます! ^_^ and I wanna ask to you someting:
1.日语分“音読み”和“訓読み” 我认为“音読み”的部分 和"広東語(Cantonese)"很相似?相似度大于Mandarin很多
2.Do you like to watch "Legal High"? ^_^
3.Why Japanese so like to have Side parting hair or Center parting hair(whatever man and women)?

It seems to be different from family to family. Of course あなた, means darling, is popular,but some wives also call their husbands お父さん which means their children's dad. Besides ,some people call their better halves second name,especially among young couples, for instance, ユウくん、ダイスケくん.

Some Japanese husbands also use the word おまえ to their wife. Using あなた to strangers, would be courteous enough to avoid any misunderstandings and in that case of course it not means darling.
