Babel by R.F. Kuang

Front cover of the book is the English title of the book foiled in gold. Around it are Bible verses in Cantonese Chinese (Genesis 11:8-9) foiled in silver.

The back of the book is a mirror of the front. It has the Cantonese title foiled in gold. Around it is the English translation of the same bible verses.

If your name ends with son/sen/cent, you sound like a God to #Cantonese people.

My partner made me watch Stephen Chow's Tong Pak Fu tonight and it was hilarious.

You can watch the whole thing with English subs on YT (use a privacy front-end of your choosing):

🚨 There’s a war happening in Hong Kong—and it's fought with words, not weapons.

Mandarin is rising. Cantonese is being sidelined.
This is the quiet battle for identity. Read the full post: https://www.ryanjhite.com/2025/06/07/the-war-on-cantonese-how-a-language-becomes-a-target/

@bikejourno @chinafactchasers Presumably the automatons have option for the nazional Peking pidgin besides #Cantonese.

A thought: CCP may have slightly eased off from cracking down on PRC languages (which the Party calls "dialects"... 🤡) in recent years.

Would that be because of the drive to harness the ethnic Chinese diaspora for the Party's objectives and the attempt to eradicate their ancestral languages hasn't been the massive "vote winner" #CCP had hoped for? 🤔

Have you submitted your drawing or #Cantonese translation yet? Whether you're a young artist or a translation lover, this is your moment to shine! ✨

A repost of #DragonBoatFestival zung2 video. Learn about zung2 and how to make your own.

I've been so lucky, my mom recently visited me and brought me zung2, two savoury versions made using glutinous rice, another with millet plus a sweet one with sago. It's like a 3-course meal! She was up till 5am making these over two-days, to say this was a labour of love is an understatement! I love you, mom! ❤️

Happy Dragonboat Festival!

#華人 I accidentally stumbled upon this Malaysian Chinese takeaway in #SELondon https://www.rice-hut.com/
I was attracted because they have a poster said "rice parcels available 粽子 " so I am very delighted for this as I haven't had one for over 10 years, and it's the dragon *boat festival on 31 May.
The fun part is I asked for it in English as you don't assume people understand #Mandarin or #Hoklo, then he started telling me the cooking instructions in #Cantonese 😂, all I understood was "steam it"

Not very photogenic. A plate of gingered gua - zit gua, si gua and ai gua (hairy melon, snake melon and zucchini) with a very tiny round of wasabi infused soba. I really wanted to eat vegies for dins and here it is! #vegan #food #Cantonese

@SeaFury OK, you've gone too far now. I could accept all the bizarre alleged Cantonese food names you've been flinging out over the past months, dubious though they were. No doubt you felt secure in the knowledge that none of us pasty-faced monolingual Caucs would call you out, but "Zit Gua (Hairy Melon)"? A step too far. You are now definitely taking the piss.

#Cantonese #food

Making Zit Gua (Hairy Melon) with garlic and ginger. I don’t have mung bean noodles. So I am subbing soba. Meh. My mum would give me *that* look. #Cantonese #food

Gibts hier jemand der Chinesisch Mandarin und Kantonesisch auseinanderhalten kann und mir helfen würde? Ich hab etwa 40 PDFs die ich einem der beiden zuordnen will, wahrscheinlich alle Kantonesisch.

Is there somebody here who would help me differentiating wether about 40 PDFs I have here are #Chinese #Mandarin or #Cantonese? I suspect they are all in Cantonese.

I love this name meaning. The idea of a cloud dumpling is cute as fuck #name #food #languages #cantonese #chinesefood #AsianFood

After my request for help learning Cantonese, I've got stuck into Mango Languages. I don't think it will still be free for me after 2 weeks but it's a good length for a trial.

My next question is, how does one go about practising tones? Is it mainly listening and recognising the tones that will later help me with speaking?

I'm expecting it to take a long time but that's what I love about learning new things.

Genuine question:

How does one go about learning to speak Cantonese?

I can find Mandarin resources all over the place but Cantonese resources seem to be libraries of dictionaries. My knowledge of the language (0%) means these aren't accessible to me yet.
