Sidney Lau Romanization, With English Ruby Text ˄

This material contains text from the Chinese Jehovah’s Will brochure, written in Sidney Lau romanization. It also includes English ruby text that has been bundled with the Sidney Lau romanization text that it shows the meaning of. Thus, this material provides us Cantonese-learners with assistance in the two language aspects we require in order to be able to discuss or study the Jehovah’s Will brochure with someone in Cantonese:

  1. The pronunciations of the Cantonese words used
    • These show us how to communicate the brochure’s message in Cantonese.
  2. The meanings of the Cantonese words used
    • These show us what is being communicated in Cantonese.

Advantages of the Web Format ˄

This Sidney Lau-English material is in web format. It takes up less space than, and is less complex than, corresponding 3-line (Chinese characters-Sidney Lau-English) material, support for which is incomplete in the web format at this time.

Being in web format allows this material to benefit from the advantages of this format, including:

Sidney Lau Romanization is a Good, Workable Writing System On Its Own ˄

Reading just Sidney Lau romanization may take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to reading (or trying to read) Chinese characters, but going by first principles of linguistics (the scientific study of language) rather than mere human traditions, it should be more than worth the effort. You should at least give yourself a chance to get used to it.

“One of the basic assumptions of modern linguistics [the scientific study of language]…is that speech is primary and writing is secondary”. Yes, speech is the foundation on which writing must be built, not vice versa. (That is just a natural result of the way Jehovah made us—he gave our bodies the built-in ability to produce speech, but writing requires external aids such as pens and paper, keyboards and screens, etc.) Thus, it is very good that Sidney Lau romanization represents Cantonese speech so straightforwardly and easily, and that it enables us to focus on speech. Yes, while Chinese characters, as beautiful and traditional as they are, demand distractingly large commitments of precious time and energy just for themselves, Sidney Lau romanization frees and empowers us to focus on communicating the good news.

Indeed, in our ministry specifically, we definitely need understanding what we hear and speaking much more than we need reading and writing. (1 Cor. 14:8–11) So, while many who have received traditional Cantonese language instruction have been influenced to believe that being able to read and write characters is the ultimate goal for a Cantonese language student to aspire to, actually, for us Kingdom publishers, our ultimate goal regarding Cantonese should be being able to understand and speak spoken Cantonese, so that we can preach and teach the good news effectively, from our hearts, using Cantonese speech. So, really, for us Kingdom publishers, being able to read, understand, and write Sidney Lau romanization, which directly represents Cantonese speech, is a more relevant and important (and easy-to-achieve) goal to aspire to than being able to read, understand, and write characters, which unfortunately have become this thing on their own that has warped and obfuscated Cantonese speech rather than supporting it.

But, is Sidney Lau romanization even really a writing system? Interestingly, the Chinese national standard Zhōngguó Mángwén (中国盲文/中國盲文, Chinese Braille) is basically a transliteration or conversion of Pīnyīn into braille letters. Braille is obviously a writing system, so Pīnyīn must also be a writing system, not just a pronunciation aid. Since Pīnyīn must be a writing system, then Sidney Lau romanization, a phonographic system like Pīnyīn is, must also be a writing system. (A phonographic writing system is one in which the symbols represent the basic sounds of the language.)

Also, as a Sumerian proverb stated, “a scribe whose hand matches the mouth, he is indeed a scribe”. Sidney Lau romanization can indeed be used to write anything that can be spoken in modern Cantonese, so it qualifies as a full writing system in that fundamental sense as well.

(That Sidney Lau romanization is a full writing system for any and all modern Cantonese speech also means that, in addition to it being correct to say that “Sidney Lau romanization is Chinese” because it was developed in Hong Kong by a Chinese person, it is also quite correct to say that “Sidney Lau romanization is Chinese” in the sense that, even if it isn’t Chinese characters, it is indeed written Cantonese Chinese—it’s not as if Sidney Lau romanization were written English or French or something!)

Really, after a bit of research into what the definition of a “writing system” is, it becomes evident that a system like Sidney Lau romanization should naturally be considered a writing system, in spite of the efforts of worldly Chinese intellectuals to artificially and unjustly keep systems like Sidney Lau romanization down in order to protect and enshrine the traditional character writing system that they have so much invested in.

Since Sidney Lau romanization is not just a pronunciation aid, but a full writing system, it is not “training wheels”—it’s regular wheels. Chinese characters are like non-round wheels—more difficult than necessary. While some may find non-round wheels “interesting”, or maybe even “beautiful”, much of the time we just need to get from point A to point B as quickly and easily as possible. We may even need to do so to save someone’s life. For example, what kind of wheels should be on an ambulance? That’s the kind of “wheels” we should be using in our life-saving work.

Practically speaking, we should keep in mind that, as many in the Cantonese field have found, by investing the minimal amount of time and effort needed to learn and get used to the Sidney Lau romanization system, we will be equipped to always be able to quickly and easily read anything in Cantonese that’s written in Sidney Lau romanization, and we will always be able to quickly and easily write anything in Cantonese using Sidney Lau romanization. In contrast, even those who are fairly familiar with Chinese characters will at times come across unfamiliar or forgotten characters whose meanings and pronunciations they can only guess at. Also, even those who are fairly familiar with Chinese characters will at times be completely unable to remember or figure out how to write a certain character.

(By the way, since, as mentioned above, the Sidney Lau romanization system was developed in Hong Kong by a Chinese person, it is a product of Chinese culture, and it is a part of Chinese culture. So, using Sidney Lau romanization is not an imposition of Western culture—it is an application of Chinese culture! Anyway, the most important thing to us should not be mere human cultures or traditions, but what works best for Jehovah’s work.)

For a more in-depth discussion about how we in the Chinese field should view Pīnyīn, and in principle, other phonographic writing systems such as Sidney Lau romanization, see the article “Pīnyīn Was Plan A”. Here is a quote from it:

“That there are so many different words in modern Mandarin that sound the same is not a good reason not to use Pīnyīn, any more than it is a good reason not to speak Mandarin.”

8 For if the trumpet sounds an indistinct call, who will get ready for battle? 9 In the same way, unless you with the tongue use speech that is easily understood, how will anyone know what is being said? You will, in fact, be speaking into the air. 10 It may be that there are many kinds of speech in the world, and yet no kind is without meaning. 11 For if I do not understand the sense of the speech, I will be a foreigner to the one speaking, and the one speaking will be a foreigner to me. ˄
