Yue or Yueh is a group of similar Sinitic languages spoken in southern China the provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, which are collectively known as Liangguang. The name Cantonese is used for the whole group, but linguists prefer to reserve that name for the variety of Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau, the prestige dialect. Taishanese, from the coastal area of Jiangmen located southwest of Guangzhou, was the language of most of the 19th-century emigrants from Guangdong to Southeast Asia and North America. Most migrants have been speakers of Cantonese. Yue varieties are not mutually intelligible with other varieties of Chinese, they are among the most conservative varieties with regard to the final consonants and tonal categories of Middle Chinese, but have lost several distinctions in the initial and medial consonants that other Chinese varieties have retained. The prototypical use of the name Cantonese in English is for the Yue variety of Guangzhou, but it is used for Yue as a whole. To avoid confusion, academic texts may call the primary branch of Chinese "Yue", following the Mandarin pinyin spelling, either restrict "Cantonese" to its common usage for the Guangzhou variety, or avoid the term "Cantonese" altogether and distinguish Yue from Guangzhou dialect.

In Chinese, people of Hong Kong and Macau, as well as Cantonese immigrants abroad call their language Gwóngdūng wá "speech of Guangdong". The people of Guangdong and Guangxi use the term Yuht Yúh "Yue language" and the term baahk wá, as for example in an expression like "南寧白話", which means the "baak waa of Nanning"; the area of China south of the Nanling Mountains, known as the Lingnan, was home to peoples known to the Chinese as the Hundred Yue. Large-scale Han Chinese migration to the area began after the Qin conquest of the region in 214 BC. Successive waves of immigration followed at times of upheaval in Northern and Central China, such as the collapse of the Han and Song dynasties; the most popular route was via the Xiang River, which the Qin had connected to the Li River by the Lingqu Canal, into the valley of the Xi Jiang. A secondary route followed the Gan River and the Bei Jiang into eastern Guangdong. Yue-speakers were joined by Hakka-speakers following the North River route, Min-speakers arriving by sea.

After the fall of Qin, the Lingnan area was part of the independent state of Nanyue for about a century, before being incorporated in the Han empire in 111 BC. After the Tang dynasty collapsed, much of the area became part of the state of Southern Han, one of the longest-lived states of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, between 917 and 971. Large waves of Chinese migration throughout succeeding Chinese dynasties assimilated huge numbers of Yue aborigines, with the result that today's Southern Han Chinese Yue-speaking population is descended from both groups; the colloquial layers of Yue varieties contain elements influenced by the Tai languages spoken in the area and still spoken by people such as the Zhuang or the Dong. The port city of Guangzhou lies in the middle of Pearl River Delta, with access to the interior via the West River, North River and East River, which all converge at the delta, it has been the economic centre of the Lingnan region since Qin times, when it was an important shipbuilding centre.

By 660, it was the largest port in part of a trade network stretching as far as Arabia. During the Southern Song, it became the cultural centre of the region. Like many other Chinese varieties it developed a distinct literary layer associated with the local tradition of reading the classics; the Guangzhou dialect was used in the popular Yuèōu, Mùyú and Nányīn folksong genres, as well as Cantonese opera. There was a small amount of vernacular literature, written with Chinese characters extended with a number of non-traditional characters for Cantonese words. Guangzhou became the centre of expanding foreign trade after the maritime ban was lifted, with the British East India Company establishing a chamber of commerce in the city in 1715; the ancestors of most of the Han Chinese population of Hong Kong came from Guangzhou after the territory was ceded to Britain in 1842. As a result, Hong Kong Cantonese, the most spoken language in Hong Kong and Macau, is an offshoot of the Guangzhou dialect; the popularity of Cantonese-language media and the Cinema of Hong Kong has since led to substantial exposure of Cantonese to China and the rest of Asia.

On the Mainland, the national policy is to promote Standard Chinese, the medium of instruction in schools. The place of local Cantonese language and culture remains contentious. In 2010, a controversial proposal to switch some programming on Guangzhou local television from Cantonese to Mandarin was abandoned following widespread backlash accompanied by public protests. Yue languages are spoken in the southern provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, an area long dominated culturally and economically by the city of Guangzhou at the delta of the Pearl River; the Cantonese variety spoken in Hong Kong and Macau, is the prestige variety of Yue. The influence of Guangzhou has spread westward along the Pearl River system, so that, for example, the speech of the city of Wuzhou some 190 km upstream in Guangxi is much more similar to that of Guangzhou than dialects of coastal districts that are closer but separated from the city by hilly terrain. One of these coastal languages, Taishanese, is the most common Yue variety among overseas communities.

Yue varieties are not at all mutually in

CD151 molecule known as CD151, is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily known as the tetraspanin family. Most of these members are cell-surface proteins that are characterized by the presence of four hydrophobic domains; the proteins mediate signal transduction events that play a role in the regulation of cell development, activation and motility. This encoded protein is a cell surface glycoprotein, known to complex with integrins and other transmembrane 4 superfamily proteins, it is involved in cellular processes including cell adhesion and may regulate integrin trafficking and/or function. This protein enhances cell motility and metastasis of cancer cells. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode the same protein have been described for this gene. CD151 has been shown to interact with CD46.

Havant War Memorial Hospital was a health facility in Crossway in Havant, England. It was managed by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust; the foundation stone for the facility was laid by Major General John Seely, Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, in January 1928. The building, designed by Vernon-Inkpen and Rogers, was opened in July 1929. A fine frieze of Wedgwood tiles depicting nursery rhymes was added to the children's ward in 1935; the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and a casualty department was added in June 1957. After services transferred to modern facilities such as Fareham Community Hospital, Havant War Memorial Hospital closed in September 2011 and was subsequently converted for use as a care home
