This topic is rather old but I figured I'd share a little more information on this topic. Recently I decided to Google 防城区客家 ( Fangcheng District Hakka Chinese) and I found a very interesting article on Ngai Wa. It includes everything from its phonology to its geographical spread. It even includes an explanation to where the Ngai in Ngai Wa comes from. I am not very proficient in written Chinese yet so I cant read it very well so I hope and would be very thankful if someone on this board can elaborate on it a little more.http://baike.baidu.com/view/1907566.htm
