Is Cantonese a dialect[change source]

I don't believe that Cantonese is a dialect of Chinese, Because if people cannot understand each other, they speak different languages, not different dialects.(This is a definition that in Linguistics). I can't read Cantonese article even I am a Mandarin user and Classical Chinese user.

dor instance, the 水(スイ, water,hydro, IIII in wangma code) not only to mean water , but also to mean effectless in Cantonese's slang.
