Cantonese 粵語

BCP 47 language tag: yue

Lokalized supports cardinality, cardinality range, and ordinality rules for Cantonese.

Cantonese is most often spoken in China, Hong Kong SAR China, Canada, and Macao SAR China.

Cardinalities

All numbers use CARDINALITY_OTHER; no value selects a different form.

Example: 2 天.

Cardinality Ranges

Every range resolves to CARDINALITY_OTHER because every endpoint is CARDINALITY_OTHER. Cardinality.forRange(...) therefore cannot select a different form.

Ordinalities

All ordinal numbers use ORDINALITY_OTHER; no value selects a different form.

Example: 第 2 本書.

Addendum: Language Form Rules

The language form expressions above are specified by Unicode Technical Standard #35 and use the following notation:

  • n absolute value of the source number (integer and decimals)
  • i integer digits of n
  • v number of visible fraction digits in n, with trailing zeros
  • w number of visible fraction digits in n, without trailing zeros
  • f visible fractional digits in n, with trailing zeros
  • t visible fractional digits in n, without trailing zeros
  • c/e compact decimal exponent operands used by some CLDR compact-number rules
