Cantonese Dictionary (updated 12MAR05) Part of CEDICT with Cantonese readings from CantoDict.
CEDICT © 1997, 1998 Paul Andrew Denisowski; CantoDict © 2004 Adam Sheik
The Cantonese readings are given at the beginnings of the English definition strings, so they show up in the Translation columns of the Dictionary window and the Compounds pane of the Characters window. Search for them as you would search for English words or phrases in both windows (I realize that this is counterintuitive, but this is just a workaround at this point).
