What's the difference between em and am in cantonese?
Em is the vowel of the words "Shen", "Han" and "Jin", and the degree of lip opening and closing is relatively small when pronounced, which is actually the same as the em when they are weak in English. Am is the vowel of the words "San Jian" and "Xin". The lips are wider when pronounced than when reading em, and the pronunciation is similar to the English word "arm".
