Recommended Posts

From my understanding, Cantonese have several different romanization methods. I know there's Jyutping, Yale, Standard Cantonese Input, and some other one that I forgot. Can someone here give me the romanization for this name, 李俊杰, with all of the possible Cantonese romanization methods? Thanks alot for your help!

In Hong Kong, the name is usually romanised to Lee Chun-kit or Li Chun-kit.

I have almost no knowledge on the other possible Cantonese romanisation methods.

What romanization method was used to get that spelling? Are you 100% sure that the common romanization of that name in HK is either Lee Chun-kit/Li Chun-Kit?

I'm just wondering which is the most common Cantonese romanization method in HK? Is Yale or Jyutping popular at all? I want to learn a Cantonese romanization method, but I don't want to learn one in which few people uses.

Most people in HK don't know any romanization methods. They are only used by learners of Cantonese and linguists and scholars.

Positive. This is how we romanise names.

True. Took me a nearly 6 months to get used to it.

Having to automatically pronounce a "k" as a "g" sound, "ch" to a "z" etc.

Thanks for the information guys. Of the available romanization method, which one would you say is the most popular? I know what you guys have said, but I would still like to know.

Does the education system in HK teaches romanization methods? What romanization method is used to come up with Li Chun-kit for 李俊杰?
