Cantonese /-eo-/ is another vowel not found in either Putonghua or English, though it is a closer /-oe-/, almost like the French ‘eû’ in ‘jeûne’. For beginners, the 2 final sets of /-oe- -eo-/ are not easily distinguishable.
Cantonese /-a-/ does not appear in syllables on its own, but rather together with a coda.

Keeping the Chinese syllabic structure of ‘initial + final + tone’ in mind, we use the concept of ‘null initial’ as a convenient way to group together all syllables that start with vowels (that is, have no onset):

eo is the short version of oe, the mouth opens smaller than oe, the IPA is [ɵ].

廣東話每一個字的音節都是由聲母、韻母和聲調三部分組成，廣東話有19個聲母、51個韻母和6個聲調（如計上p、t、k韻尾即為9聲）。這段影片是以香港語言學學會（LSHK）制定的粵拼為基礎，分為10小節，各約5分鐘，完整解說所有聲母和韻母，但就沒有說明聲調的部分，因為原來粵拼輸入法是不需要輸入聲調的。

■4項小貼示
這條影片指出其中4個香港人容易混淆的位，包括：

一、聲母J的用法如英文的Y，即「人」、「一」、「日」都是以「J」開頭。

二、聲母C是噴氣，Z是不噴氣。
「做」、「走」、「紙」都是以「Z」開頭。

三、韻母oe和eo，讀音和長短都不同。
oe是長音，「靴」、「香」、「着」都是oe。
eo是短音，「水」、「信」、「律」是eo。

四、韻母ui是長音，eoi是短音。
「杯」、「灰」、「妹」是ui。
「水」、「去」、「女」是eoi。
