List of Chinese classifiers

In the tables, the first two columns contain the Chinese characters representing the classifier, in Traditional and Simplified characters when they differ. The next four columns give its pronunciations in Standard Mandarin, using Pinyin; Standard Cantonese, using Jyutping and Yale, respectively; and General Taiwanese, using Tai-lo. The last column gives the classifier's literal meaning within quotation marks and its principal uses.
