English/Cantonese translations
NOTE: Due to Cantonese being a symbol based language there is no exact way of writing a word in English, so the spelling will change from source to source. The spellings here are as close to the Cantonese word as we can achieve.
Guide to pronunciation: In general where a word ends with a hard letter like k, t, and p, the entire letter is not pronounced. Make the actions as if pronouncing the letter, but do not let the last bit of air out that finishes the sound. For interest, where the literal translation differs from the English name it is given in brackets underneath the Cantonese.
