| | Cantonese (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As not all Cantonese words can be found in current encoding system, or the users simply don't know how to enter such characters on the computer, in very informal speech, Cantonese tends to use extremely simple romanization (e.g. | | | For example, the characters, (裔,屹,藝,艾,憶,譯,懿,誼,肄,翳,邑,佚) are all pronounced yi4 in Mandarin, but they are all different in Cantonese (jeoi6, ngat6, ngai6, ngaai6, yik1, yik6, yi3, yi4, si3, ai3, yap1, and yat6, respectively). | | | In some ways, Cantonese is a more conservative language than Mandarin. |

| | Pinyin: Definition and Much More From Answers.com |
| | It is important to maintain the distinction that pinyin is a romanization and not an anglicization; that is, it is equally applicable for transliteration into any language that uses a roman alphabet, but that the precise pronunciation need not match that of any of these languages. | | | Pinyin has also become a useful tool for entering Chinese language text into computers. | | | Computer systems long provided the most convincing argument in favor of pinyin; early computers were able to display nothing but 7-bit ASCII (essentially the 26 letters, the 10 digits, and a handful of punctuation marks). |
