喺Wikipedia入邊:
Canton, People's Republic of China
-Capital city of Guangdong Province(formerly Kwangtung/Kwongtung), an anglicised name for the city of Guangzhou.
-Canton Province, a seldom used anglicised name for Guangdong Province (formerly and more often as Kwangtung/Kwongtung), in the South of China.
廣州 , 中華人民共和國
-廣東省省會(舊時係Kwangtung/Kwongtung),廣州市嘅英文化名稱。
-Canton Province,廣東省好少用嘅英文化名稱(舊時經常用Kwangtung/Kwongtung),位於南中國。
注意:Canton Province都係有啲人隔硬加落去噶啫,舊時啲鬼佬從來冇用過哩個英文名嚟譯廣東省,而係用Kwangtung或Kwongtung Province。好明顯Canton指嘅係廣州,因為當時廣州係清朝係中國唯一對外開放嘅港口同埋中國最早對外嘅通商口岸。喺英文版Google Earth搜索「guangzhou」,衛星地圖係用Canton唔係Guangzhou嚟譯廣州嘅(亦都冇喺Canton旁用括號括住Guangzhou)。
