Yuehai is a city located in China. While it shares its name with a major linguistic branch, it is distinct from the regional dialectal group.
The term Yuehai specifically refers to the main branch of Yue Chinese. This language is spoken throughout the Pearl River Delta region in Guangdong Province, as well as in Hong Kong and Macau. Although it is commonly referred to as Cantonese, that specific name is more accurately applied to the Guangzhou topolect of the Yuehai language group.
