Indeed.

While I think supporting other regional Chinese dialects would be a
great thing (I happen to speak 3 dialects: Mandarin, Cantonese and
Hokkien!), I think the main goal now should be to focus on making
Mandarin input usable, since it is the "official" style for writing.
Committing to supporting other dialects so early in the process may be a
bit too much at this point.

If and when we start supporting Cantonese, I'd love to help ;-)
