Mission

Save Cantonese is an international movement that sustains and celebrates Cantonese language and culture. We have three Strategic Aims: a) protect and strengthen educational and research infrastructure for the Cantonese language, b) affirm the value of Cantonese culture and identity in societies around the world, and c) build a movement of Cantonese diasporic and language-learning communities. We ensure that present and future generations benefit from a vibrant, thriving Cantonese-speaking and learning community.

Program accomplishments

  • Many Cantonese learners still struggle to learn the language, in part because educational institutions that offer Cantonese classes are difficult to find. In response to this critical need, the team determined that a database of classes would be of great social value. Save Cantonese rallied volunteers to identify regional classes, to create a database by skill-level, to use advanced data tools for developing an interactive graphical map, and to create visual pins for each schools program. Now, the public is able to find a Cantonese program by consulting the graphical map of 300+ listings. Users may filter the data table for specific class attributes and then zoom into nearby programs for details.

  • We are incredibly excited to present our online Zine to the Cantonese Diaspora. Cantonese means something unique to each writer. It compiles 13 personal narratives from the writers ranging from Age from 11-74 and hailing from 7 American states and 2 foreign countries. The Editor and Artistic Director is a high school student whose original illustrations enhance each narrative on identity and culture. Non-Chinese Author: When people ask me, "Why save Cantonese?" I would ask, "Why save any language?" - and the answer to me is obvious, that all languages have value. They all have their own culture, their own histories, and most importantly, must be allowed to have their own futures. In a way, it's almost a silly question. Of course, we should save Cantonese.Cantonese Author: To me, being Cantonese is an integral part of my identity it's how I talk to my loved ones and how I connect with my heritage. I am intrigued by the complexity and beauty of the language. Reconnecting to my Cantonese identity is transformative.
  • Save Cantonese affirms, sustains, and celebrates Cantonese Identity through grassroots advocacy and community events internationally. In 2023, we led and/or supported dozens of activities. Examples include: a) Allying with local organizations to facilitate events where attendees speak and practice Cantonese, e.g. providing volunteers for CantoQueer Dim Sum events in NYC Chinatown for building safe LGBTQ+ Cantonese communities and b) Organizing international English Media Campaigns of key stories in order to safeguard and pass on the language to future generations in our Archive for the Future records. The latter effort documents the courage and dedication of people around the world who work to protect the Cantonese language in diverse, local, and meaningful ways.
