About Cantonese (廣東話) and Its Script

Cantonese is spoken by 85M+ people, primarily in Hong Kong, Macau, Southern China. It uses the Chinese (Cantonese) writing system, which is written left to right.

Romanization (also called transliteration) converts Chinese (Cantonese) characters to their equivalent Latin (Roman) letter representations. This allows speakers of Latin-script languages to read and pronounce Cantonese text without knowing the Chinese (Cantonese) script.

This tool uses Google's neural romanization engine to convert Cantonese text to Latin script in real time. The romanization follows standard transliteration conventions and is updated automatically 800ms after you stop typing — no button click required.
