Welcome to Liujgoj Romanization.

"Liujgoj Romanization" is a Romanization scheme for Cantonese.

It has several characteristics:

1, It takes words as the writing unit,

2, words are separated by spaces.

3, Words have no spaces inside.

For example:

Yvthyvq haih yatj zungr yaujmeiq ge yvqyinx. (Cantonese is a beautiful language.)

From the perspective of pronunciation, Cantonese words are composed of one or more syllables. A syllable consists of three parts: initial, final and tone. The final is composed of the main final and the end final. This scheme determines the spelling rules for Cantonese syllables. 1. Alphabet A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

2. Initials Cantonese has 19 initials, which are: 1. The initial "p" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [pʰ]; 2. The initial "t" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [tʰ]; 3. The initial "k" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [kʰ]; 4. The initial "b" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [p]; 5. The initial "d" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [t]; 6. The initial "g" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [k]; 7. The initial "f" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [f]; 8. The initial "s" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [s]; 9. The initial "m" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [m]; 10. The initial "n" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [n]; 11. The initial "ng" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ŋ]; 12. The initial "h" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [h]; 13. The initial "l" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [l]; 14. The initial "y" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [j]; 15. The initial "w" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [w]; 16. The initial "kw" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [kʰʷ]; 17. The initial "gw" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [kʷ]; 18. The initial "c" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [tʰs]; 19. The initial "z" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ts]. In addition, there is the case without initials. Therefore, Cantonese has 19 initials plus the case without initials, totaling 20 variations.

3. Finals Cantonese has 9 finals, which are: 1. The letter "aa" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [a]; 2. The letter "a" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ɐ]; 3. The letter "i" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [i]; but when preceded by "ng" or "k", the corresponding international phonetic alphabet is [ɪ]; 4. The letter "u" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [u]; but when preceded by "ng" or "k", the corresponding international phonetic alphabet is [ʊ]; 5. The letter "e" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ɛ]; but when preceded by "i", the corresponding international phonetic alphabet is [e]; 6. The letter "o" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ɔ]; but when preceded by "u", the corresponding international phonetic alphabet is [o]; 7. The letter "v" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [y]; 8. The letter "oe" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [œ]; 9. The letter "eo" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ɵ]. It should be noted that in Cantonese syllables, finals are not necessarily required. Therefore, Cantonese has 9 finals plus the case without finals, totaling 10 variations.

4. End finals Cantonese has 8 end finals, which are: 1. The letter "i" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ɪ]; 2. The letter "u" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ʊ]; 3. The letter "m" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [m]; 4. The letter "n" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [n]; 5. The letter "ng" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [ŋ]; 6. The letter "p" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [p ̚]; 7. The letter "t" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [t ̚]; 8. The letter "k" corresponds to the international phonetic alphabet [k ̚]. It should be noted that in Cantonese syllables, end finals are not necessarily required. Therefore, Cantonese has 8 end finals plus the case without end finals, totaling 9 variations. 5. Tones Cantonese has a total of 6 tones. 1. In Liujgoj Cantonese, the letter "j" represents tone 1. For example, "fu1" in Cantonese Pinyin is written as "fuj" in Liujgoj Cantonese. 2. The letter "r" represents tone 2. For example, "fu2" in Cantonese Pinyin is written as "fur" in Liujgoj Cantonese. 3. Liujgoj Cantonese considers tone 3 to be the basic tone (that is, the most commonly used tone), so no symbol is needed to mark the tone. In other words, if a syllable does not add any tone symbol, Liujgoj Cantonese will default the tone of this syllable to 3. For example, "fu3" in Cantonese Pinyin is simply written as "fu" in Liujgoj Cantonese, because the default tone is 3. 4. The letter "x" represents tone 4. For example, "fu4" in Cantonese Pinyin is written as "fux" in Liujgoj Cantonese. 5. The letter "q" represents tone 5. For example, "fu5" in Cantonese Pinyin is written as "fuq" in Liujgoj Cantonese. 6. The letter "h" represents tone 6. For example, "fu6" in Cantonese Pinyin is written as "fuh" in Liujgoj Cantonese.
