Jyutping is a romanization system for Cantonese. It is used to represent Cantonese sounds using the Roman alphabet. Jyutping was developed by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong and is widely used in educational materials, dictionaries, and computer input methods for Cantonese.
In Jyutping, each Cantonese sound is represented by a combination of letters and numbers. The letters represent the initial consonant or consonant cluster of the sound, while the numbers indicate the tone.
Jyutping allows Cantonese speakers and learners to accurately represent the pronunciation of Cantonese words using the Roman alphabet. It is especially useful for non-native speakers who may be more familiar with Romanized systems than with Chinese characters.
Cantonese is a tonal language, which means that the tone or pitch contour of a syllable can change its meaning. There are six tones in Cantonese, and each tone is represented by a number in Jyutping.
