Cantonese Tones

[sudarshanmakoto]

Could any one please teach me more about the Tones in Cantonese? I have little knowledge about the four tones in Mandarin!

Thank you

Do you mean you would like to learn the 9 tones?

Yes all the Nine tones

No need. Cantonese is even more complicated than Mandarin. At the moment, most of Cantonese can speak Mandarin and all of them understand Mandarin.
As a Chinese, I learn Cantonese myself for years, and still cannot speak it fluency.

Still. Only half of the Cantonese speak official Cantonese. The other half speak other languages. But surely most of them understand Cantonese.
