Cantonese

Cantonese
NounAdjective

This term functions as both a proper noun for the language and a proper adjective for the culture and region. It carries a strong association with the specific linguistic identity of Hong Kong and the Guangdong province, often distinguished from Mandarin in contexts of diplomacy, trade, and cinema.

As a noun referring to a language, it is an uncountable mass noun. It does not have a plural form when referring to the language itself, as one does not speak multiple Cantonese languages, but rather speaks the Cantonese language.
