Cantonese Links


-(Shell)-

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the links. Though I don't plan on learning Cantonese now. I found it a bit interesting that the Cantonese numbers seem to have some (probably superficial) similarities to Thai numbers. Compare:

Cantonese | Thai

--------------------

3 saam-------saam

4 sei----------si

7 cat----------jet

8 baat--------baat

9 gow--------gao

10 sap-------sip

20 jisap------yisip

The similarity is not superficial. 1,2,5 are a bit different though.
