The Jyut-jyu-si (粵語試) Work Group has been working on the development of Cantonese assessment open to the general public since 2015. A read-aloud test has been prepared and another comprehensive test for Cantonese assessment is under development.

The Cantonese Read-Aloud Test 粵音朗讀測試 (CRAT) is designed, for fluent users of Cantonese (native or non-native) who can read Han characters, to assess their ability to read-aloud characters, words and passages using Cantonese pronunciation as used in Hong Kong. The test is held twice a year.

The ultimate goal of the work group is to develop a comprehensive test for Cantonese assessment. This proposed test will be developed under CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Language).
