I always find it strange that I have learned to type every other language but my mother tongue. The fact is, typing Chinese is very difficult. Most people type by decomposing Chinese characters into basic root shapes. That is difficult for me because I can recognize more character than I can remember to write them from scratch. For mandarin speaking, phonetic input can also be used because they have standardized way to do so. My mother tongue, however, is Cantonese. I have searched online many times, and find that there isn't really any official ways to do romanization of Cantonese sounds. And worst yet... looking around online, there isn't really any good systematic approach to explain how Cantonese phonetics work.
Anyways, I found an Cantonese input system and reverse engineered a phonetic table:
It will take quite a bit more time to get used to this sound system... but at least this is a start...
