Chinese is Mandarin and uses Pinyin. There are one or two mistakes.

Re Cantonese:

There are numerous mistakes - the romanizations don't always correspond to the Chinese characters, and many of the phrases are Mandarin idiom, which is different from Cantonese. So I can't recommend it.

I think it's Jyutping romanization. I wish it did use Yale, which I prefer, mainly because of how the tones are represented. Cantonese has several competing romanizations.
