The most significant feature is that tones are compressed into vowels as diacritics, making the similarities or differences between languages more visible.
For Mandarin (官), Wu (吳), Min (閩), and Yue (粵), the diacritics follow the same rule as below:
-
Dot below vowels (ạ) means light (陽), and no diacritics below vowels means dark (陰).
-
Macron (ā) means level (平), acute (á) means rising (上), and grave (à) means departing (去).
-
Entering (入) tones are indicated by the codas -p, -t, -k or -h, where -h represents the glottal stop.
3.1. For Yue dialect, where dark entering is splitted, dot above vowels (ȧ) means high dark entering (上陰入), and no diacritics above vowels means low dark entering (下陰入).
-
If there are no diacritics above the vowel, nor does it end with -p, -t, -k or -h, it technically means level, except in Wu dialect it means departing, which actually includes light level, both rising, and both departing.
