Cantonese phonetic system

Cantonese phonetic system is complex, with 19 initials, 56 finals and 9 tones.

Cantonese tone

Nine tones and six tones: Yin Ping, Yin Shang, Yin Qu, Yang Ping, Yang Shang, Yang Qu, Yin Ru, Zhong Ru and Yang Ru.

Nine tones and six tones are nine tones and six tones. Simple understanding: First, one tone corresponds to one tone, six tones correspond to six tones, and the remaining three tones are entering tones.

In fact, the pitches of Yin-in, Zhong-in and Yang-in are the same as those of Yin-in, Yin-out and Yang-out, but they are distinguished by entering words ending in -p, -t and-k. Because of the definition of tone, it includes intonation (that is, actual pitch) and cadence.

Vowels -p, -t and -k affect their frustration. Therefore, even if only six tones are marked with the numbers 1 to 6, some people think that it cannot be simply called six tones, or nine tones, or further called "nine tones and six tones".

The representative words of six tone values are: Zhou (ZAU1); Hau 2; Store (dim 3); River (ho4); Mu (mou 5); Cross (dou6).
