Yuehai Yue


Yuehai is the main branch of Yue Chinese, spoken in the Pearl River Delta of the province of Guangdong, as well as Hong Kong and Macau. It is commonly called Cantonese, though that name is more precisely applied to the Guangzhou dialect of Yuehai.

Dialects

Yuehai is divided into four principal dialects, each of which contains various subdialects. Cantonese is the prestige form.
