Author: Cantonese Museum Publisher: Bright Light Publishing Size: 140mm x 210mm Pages: 392 ISBN: 978-988-8884-76-6 Publication Date: January 2026 [Content Synopsis] This is an expanded and revised edition of the "Cantonese Dictionary." Compiled, organized, and written by the Cantonese Museum, it collects 371 commonly used Cantonese adjectives that people often say but may not know how to write. Each entry is a record, filled with words reflecting daily life, culture, and history. In recent years, Bright Light Publishing has released several books compiled and written by the "Cantonese Museum" focusing on Cantonese culture. The inspiration is simple: to preserve Cantonese, a language that embodies life, culture, and history, and is rich with the essence of human experience, by recording it in books. The decision to publish the "Cantonese Dictionary" began with common Cantonese adjectives, many of which we've likely heard or used even if we haven't seen them written. Why 371? The "1" in this number signifies that words rooted in daily life inevitably evolve over time. Language preservation in specific regions is a continuous effort, and the "1" represents our ongoing dedication despite the work never being truly "complete."
