> It is ngh, low rising tone. I'm sure you can verify this online. There is no official romanization of Cantonese. Both the negative prefix `mh` and 5 are bilabial nasal, not velar nasal. They are of different tones though. Ans also as I pointed out earlier, there are velar nasals in Cantonese. to use your own logic: > languages are generally not defined by how they are written, but by how they are spoken So here is my understanding: one nasal that is never used in isolation is not a word.

> There is no official romanization of Cantonese. There is, it is called 粵拼 or Jyutping (https://www.lshk.org/jyutping https://www.lshk.org/jyutping). However, its use is not enforced, and the original British colonial era romanisation remains frequently used in HK. There is also the Yale system that predates Jyutping and is still also in wide use in teaching materials and dictionaries. Therefore, 唔 is romanised as «m4» in Jyuping and as «m̀ h» in Yale. «4» in Jyutping and the backtick over «m» indicate the low falling tone.
