ABOUT CANTONESE:

- Though under the name of Traditional Chinese Hong Kong (ZHhk), Guangdong province, right next to Hong Kong & Macau, is actually home to the biggest Cantonese speaking population (reportedly 67 million people), compared with  7 million HK residents ;

- When we say Simplified Chinese & Traditional Chinese, we are talking about Chinese variants in written form ; there are slight differences between Traditional Chinese for Taiwan & HK, but mostly mutually intelligible ;

 - When we say Mandarin & Cantonese, we are talking about Chinese variants in oral form ; TW residents speak Mandarin while HK people speak Cantonese ; Mandarin & Cantonese are NOT mutually intelligible.

- In mainland China, we consider Cantonese as a dialect, with Hakka, Teochew (Chaozhou), Toisanese (Taishanese) as its variants.
