About the Cantonese Language

Cantonese is a distinct Chinese language — not a dialect of Mandarin — with around 85 million speakers, concentrated in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong province, and long-established Chinese-American communities in San Francisco, Oakland, New York, and Boston. Cantonese uses Traditional Chinese characters in writing, which matters when translating Hong Kong civil documents (birth and marriage certificates, identity card papers) or older family records. Spoken Cantonese is tonally and phonetically different from Mandarin, so interpreting assignments require specifically Cantonese-trained linguists rather than generic Chinese interpreters.

  • Primary regions: Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong (China) and large Cantonese-speaking communities in the USA
  • Language origin / family: Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic language family — a Yue Chinese variety
  • Estimated speakers: Around 85 million speakers worldwide
