Commonly referred to simply as Jyutping, this system is the standard for representing Cantonese pronunciation in Hong Kong. It is widely used in dictionaries, language learning materials, and digital input methods. Unlike older systems, it uses numbers to represent the six distinct tones of Cantonese.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse the tone numbers in Jyutping with the actual pitch values. Remember that the numbers 1 to 6 are just labels for the tone categories and do not directly correspond to a musical scale or specific pitch height.
