Introduction
Rime-Cantonese: A Normalized Cantonese Jyutping Lexicon was developed by the Cantonese Computational Linguistics Infrastructure Working Group. It contains approximately 130,000 Cantonese character, word, and phrase entries paired with their corresponding romanized pronunciations in Jyutping, a scheme created by The Linguistic Society of Hong Kong.
Data
Data was collected from a variety of physical and online sources. The character collection was subjected to a normalization process for differences between traditional and simplified Chinese, regional differences and other variants in Chinese characters, and differences in orthography. Additional information about this process and the lexicon in general is available in the documentation included with this release.
The corpus data is presented in a collection of UTF-8 encoded csv files.
