Alternative notations for Cantonese tones What is the list of diacritics used to denote the seven Cantonese tones (in pinyin or similar notation)? Is there a standard (or even, more common) convention?
Common romanization systems for Cantonese are Jyutping, Cantonese Pinyin, and Yale.

In both Jyutping and Cantonese Pinyin, tones are represented with numbers.

In Yale, tones are either indicated with tone marks coupled with -h, or with numbers:
