SynopsisThis Gospel of John portion of the "read-aloud" Cantonese Ping Yam Bible is designed to help make the Chinese Union Version Bible more accessible to speakers and learners of Cantonese. Whether used as a reference or as a learning tool, the Cantonese Ping Yam Bible Series is a handy resource, with Chinese text and matching Cantonese pronunciation showing how many Cantonese-speakers read the formal written Chinese characters. Cantonese is a very expressive living language. In the last two thousand years Cantonese has not had its own standard written form. Standard written Chinese now follows Mandarin in grammar and expression. The resulting "language gap" between today's spoken Cantonese and formal written Chinese has had a long time to grow. When Cantonese-speakers read formal written Chinese characters with Cantonese pronunciation, the vocabulary and expression is far different from everyday spoken Cantonese. So when it comes to such a precious book as the Bible, one encounters some Chinese characters and Cantonese expressions that are not part of everyday conversation -- and that is where the Cantonese Ping Yam Bible series can be an immense help. The Chinese Bible text in this edition is the Chinese Union Version (CUV 1919 New Punctuation). The "read-aloud" Cantonese pronunciation in this edition follows the widely-accepted Yale phonetic system.
