Cantonese is a major Chinese language variety that originated in Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta region, belonging to the broader Yue Chinese subgroup within the Sino-Tibetan language family. While linguistically Cantonese refers specifically to the prestige form of this language, the term is commonly used more broadly to encompass related Yue varieties like Taishanese, though these related forms have limited mutual intelligibility with standard Cantonese.
