Other comments: Cantonese or Yue is a language within the Chinese (Sinitic) branch of the Sino-Tibetan languages originating from the city of Guangzhou (historically known as Canton) and its surrounding area in Southeastern China. It is the traditional prestige variety of the Yue Chinese dialect group, which has over 80 million native speakers. While the term Cantonese specifically refers to the prestige variety, it is often used to refer to the entire Yue subgroup of Chinese, including related but largely mutually unintelligible languages and dialects such as Taishanese. In Cantonese, the compound numerals 21 to 29, 31 to 39... 91 to 99, have two formsː a normal form and a fast form. The Cantonese has nine tones, six of regular length, and three for so-called 'short syllables, as written with one digit number. The nine tones areː (1) 55, (2) 35, (3) 33, (4) 21, (5) 23, (6) 22, (7) 5, (8) 3, (9) 2. ( The short syllables are those with short vowels which end in p, t or k with one digit number 2, 3, 5 ) |
