Introduction to Cantonese Sounds and Tones

Cantonese sounds and tones – ‘Gwóngdūngwá yúhyām’

Cantonese is a tonal language, in which tones play a very important role in identifying the
meaning of words. There are about 20 romanization systems used in Cantonese course books.
This book uses the “Yale system”.

A syllable in Cantonese is composed of 3 components:

1. An initial – ‘sīngmóuh’: consonants used at the beginning of a syllable.
2. A final – ‘wáhnmóuh’: the part of a syllable that follows an initial.
3. A tone – ‘sīngdiuh’: the pitch contour of a syllable, e.g. ā, á, a, àh, áh, ah.

1 Initials – ‘sīngmóuh’
According to their phonetic features, the 19 initials are divided into 5 groups as shown in
Table 1.1. Learners should notice the following points in pronouncing or identifying
“initials”:

1. The ‘j’ and ‘ch’ are pronounced with lips spread, instead of rounded or protruded lips. The
‘ch’ and ‘j’ initials in Cantonese, such as: ‘chàh’ (tea) and ‘jyuh’ (live) are not the same as
those in ‘church’ and ‘judge’ in English.

2. Some sociolinguistic research shows that Cantonese speakers may pronounce the ‘n’ like
‘l’, e.g. ‘néuihyán’ (woman)  ‘léuihyán’.

3. The ‘g’ resembles ‘c’ in ‘scan’ (unaspirated ‘k’) and ‘k’ in ‘kitchen’ (aspirated ‘k’).

4. The ‘kw’ is a strong aspirated sound, resembling ‘qu’ in ‘quick’.

5. The ‘ng’ initial resembles the sound of ‘-ng’ as in ‘singer’. Cantonese youths may drop the
‘ng’ in ‘ngóh’ (I), and say it like ‘óh’.

6. The ‘y’ is different from the vowel ‘yu’ as in ‘yih yuht’ (February).

7. Sociolinguistic research also shows some natives may pronounce the ‘gw’ without rounded
lips, which may make ‘gwok’ (country) become ‘gok’.

2 Finals – ‘wáhnmóuh’
Table 2.1 shows the 51 Cantonese finals (with examples) used in the Yale system. Included are
the vowels with long or short length and the diphthongs consisting of vowels in different
combinations:

1. Cantonese has single vowel sounds (e.g. ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’, ‘eu’, ‘yu’) and diphthongs
(e.g. ‘ai’, ‘ou’, ‘aau’ …). When single vowel sounds have no following consonant, they
are supposedly pronounced as “long vowels” (e.g. ‘ma’, ‘me’, ‘mi’, ‘mo’, ‘mu’).

2. There is a distinction between diphthongs having short vowel ‘a’ (spelt as ‘a’) and those
having long vowel ‘a’ (spelt as ‘aa’). The examples of the long and short ‘a’ are shown
in Table 2.2.

3. The finals ‘eu’, ‘eung’, ‘euk’, ‘eui’, ‘eun’ and ‘eut’ are rounded central vowels. For
example, ‘hēu’ (boot), ‘sēut’ (shirt), ‘seun’ (letter), ‘heui’ (to go), ‘lèuhng’ (cool) and
‘yeuhk’ (medicine).

4. The endings ‘-p’, ‘-t’ and ‘-k’ endings are unreleased stops.

5. The ‘i’ in Cantonese is different from the one in English, as the tongue position is higher,
e.g. ‘tīn’ (sky). (Compare it with the English word ‘teen’)

6. The ‘o’ is similar to ‘o’ as in ‘got’ in English, pronounced with rounded lips, e.g. ‘ngoi’
(love).

7. The ‘u’ is also similar to the vowel as in ‘wood’ in English, pronounced with rounded lips.
e.g. ‘luhk’ (green).

8. In a diphthong, the vowel glide is articulated strongly when it goes with a short main vowel,
whereas the vowel glide becomes weak when going with a long main vowel.

There are fifty-one finals (or “syllable endings”) in real life Cantonese vocabulary as shown
in Table 2.3.

3 Tones – ‘sīngdiuh’
This book employs the six-tone system, which has been accepted by many scholars. To make
the tones visible, Table 3.1 can show the pitch contour of the voice. Please note that the low
falling tone is lower than the low level tone. (The high and low rising tones may have
alternative representations in different systems employed by other books).

Table 3.2 shows the differences in meaning when a word is pronounced in different tones.

Note: Some people would use a high falling tone (53) for a high level one to stress certain
words. However, the two tones do not make difference in the meaning of the word.

4 Spelling conventions
1. The tone mark of the ‘rising’, ‘falling’ or ‘high level’ tone is placed on the top of the first
vowel.
2. The not-pronounced ‘h’ is placed behind the vowels of a final to indicate low pitch tones.
3. The mid-level tone has no tone mark.
