CantoDict Tone Conventions
CantoDict uses the following convention to distinguish between literary and colloquial pronunciations. i.e. Literary are how text books say you should speak a word correctly, and colloquial is how people actually say it in real life. The latter is obviously most useful to a learner, but the former is also useful to know when looking words up etc.
mui6*2 : mui6 = literary; mui2 = colloquial
faa1 sang1 tong4*2 : faa1 sang1 tong4 = literary; faa1 sang1 tong2 = colloquial
As far as I am aware, we invented this convention for CantoDict, as normal jyutping does not show these distinctions.
