📚 Cantonese Consonants

🔊 Learn about the 20 consonant sounds that form the foundation of Cantonese pronunciation. This includes 10 pairs of sounds, such as ts and dz, which are distinctly used at the beginning of words in Cantonese. Aspirated consonants like p, t, ts, k, and kw are pronounced with a strong puff of air - a unique feature of the language!

📚 Cantonese Finals

👍🏼 While Cantonese has the final "aa", it lacks the final "a". In the Yale system, this sound is represented as "a" despite being pronounced as "aa". For instance, the word for "flat" (faa6) is written as "fa" in the Yale system. Understanding this distinction is crucial for accurate pronunciation.

📚 Cantonese Tones

🎶 Cantonese is a tonal language, where the pitch contour of a syllable determines its meaning. With a limited number of tones depending on the type of final, mastering these tones will set you apart in your language learning journey and allow for clear communication.
