Cantonese numbers.
In this lesson you learn to count to 5 in Cantonese:
1 yāt (high level tone) 一
2 yih (low level tone) 二
3 sàam (high falling tone)三
4 sei (mid level) 四
5 ńgh (low rising tone) 五
(the ńg is pronounced as ḿ by most people these days) NOTE: The ńg/ḿ is supposed to be "syllabic" - kind of like you're humming to yourself with your mouth open for ńg and with lips together for ḿ.

The final h is a Yale Romanization convention to indicate a low tone.
