standardowy język kantoński
Also known as Standard Cantonese, Yue, Yüeh, Yue-Yu, Yue-Yuu, Cantonese language, Cantonese dialect
Cantonese is the traditional prestige variety of Yue Chinese, a Sinitic language belonging to the Sino-Tibetan language family. It originated in the city of Guangzhou (formerly romanized as Canton) and its surrounding Pearl River Delta. Although Cantonese specifically refers to the prestige variety in linguistics, the term is often used more broadly to describe the entire Yue subgroup of Chinese, including varieties such as Taishanese, which have limited mutual intelligibility with Cantonese.
AI overview
Cantonese is a major Chinese language variety that originated in Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta region, belonging to the broader Yue Chinese subgroup within the Sino-Tibetan language family. While linguistically Cantonese refers specifically to the prestige form of this language, the term is commonly used more broadly to encompass related Yue varieties like Taishanese, though these related forms have limited mutual intelligibility with standard Cantonese.
