Cantonese Transcription Services

There are many dialects of Cantonese, each with its own set of grammatical rules and sentence structures.

The reason there are so many dialects of Cantonese is that Cantonese is the mother tongue in Hong Kong, spoken by 70% of the Chinese people in Southeast Asia and is a major language in China’s Guangdong province.

it is important to use a native-speaking transcriptionist to transcribe Cantonese audio to ensure local dialects are transcribed accurately.

In total, there are more than 50 million Cantonese speakers worldwide and with such a large demographic it is no wonder there are so many Cantonese dialects.

There are however a few main groups that Cantonese speakers can be classified into, these include Guangzhou, Eastern Guangzhou, Northern Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau.

The written form of Cantonese is based on Chinese characters that have been modified over hundreds of years to make them easier to pronounce. That’s why there isn’t just one way to write Cantonese.
