About
Cantonese is a tonal language of the Sinitic branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. It is one of the five major Chinese dialects used in daily life across China, second only to the official language Mandarin. It is widely spoken in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macao, Southeast Asia, and Chinese communities in North America, the UK and Australia. Its name originates from the ancient Chinese term "Yue" (interchangeable with the modern character for Cantonese) for the Lingnan region.
