Why can Cantonese be pronounced as capable, while the pronunciation of capable people is cold?

First, the lazy voice

It refers to some phonological simplification and misreading in language. It can be considered that all languages in the world are lazy to varying degrees. In China, it mainly refers to some phonological simplification and misreading in Cantonese, Wu dialect, Minnan dialect and Beijing dialect.

Second, the formation conditions

1, immigration. A large number of Cantonese immigrants began to have a lot of lazy sounds, which seems to be related. For them, the pronunciation of n/l is not very different, and in most cases, confusing the two will not bring serious communication obstacles. Therefore, when they come to Hong Kong to learn this new dialect, they often give up what is difficult and take what is easy, thus diluting some indistinguishable pronunciation differences. This is also called "theory of human nature".

2. The promotion of broadcast media and popular culture, especially some singers with poor pronunciation.

Third, the main performance

1, l and n are indistinguishable. The phenomenon that L and N are indistinguishable in Cantonese has long appeared, and now it is getting more and more serious. More and more people read n as l, such as "naam4 jan4" as "laam4 jan4".

2. Omit ng initials, such as: I NGO-O, biting nga au-AAU, etc.

3. Omission of W in Compound Initial What is a compound initial? It is a Cantonese initial, which consists of two English consonants gw and kw. For example, Guangdong (gwong2 dung 1) is pronounced as Dong Gang (gong2 dung 1), and the country (gwok3 gaa 1) is pronounced as Gek3gaa 1.

4, nasal -ng becomes nasal -n nasal before and after can be said to be the most typical lazy phenomenon. For example, horizontal balance (waan4 dim 1) is pronounced as circular balance (WAAN4DIM 1) and so on.

5.k becomes t because the charge (fu6 zaak3) is pronounced as negative tie (fu6 zaat3).

6. There are two nasal rhymes in Cantonese vowels, which are ng and M respectively. Nowadays, many people can't distinguish these two nasal sounds, and tend to simplify all nasal rhymes into m. The most obvious example is the assimilation of the pronunciation of [Wu m4] and [Wu ng4] and [Wu ng5].
