Notes
- ↑ Initial [ŋ] is not pronounced by younger speakers, leaving a glottal stop [ʔ] before a, e, o, and initial [n] may be pronounced [l].
- ↑ Final [ŋ] may be merged into [n]. [i u] in diphthongs are equivalent to a final [j w]. After [ɵ], a i becomes [y].
- ↑ The high level and high falling tones have merged to high level in Hong Kong for most words
