| Description: |
General vocabulary in Cantonese in the Yale Romanization system. Vowels with macrons do not exist in the simple ascii character set, so a dieresis or umlaut is used instead for the high even tone. For the same reasons, "m", "ng", "mh", and "ngh" with diacritics are notated with the diacritic following the nasal: "m`", "ngh`". |
