dbpprop:abstract
  • Hong Kong Cantonese is a form of Yue Chinese commonly spoken in Hong Kong. Although Hongkongers largely identify this variant of Chinese with the term "Cantonese" (廣東話), a variety of publications in mainland China describe the variant as Hong Kong speech (香港話) or Hong Kong language (香港方言). There are slight differences between the pronunciation used in Hong Kong Cantonese and that of the Cantonese spoken in the neighbouring Chinese province of Guangdong, where Standard Cantonese (based on the Guangzhou dialect) is a lingua franca. Over the years, Hong Kong Cantonese has also absorbed foreign vocabularies and developed a large set of Hong Kong-specific vocabularies. These differences from Standard Cantonese are the result of British rule between 1841 and 1997, as well as the closure of the Hong Kong-China border immediately after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949.
  • Hongkong-Kantonees is het Kantonees dat gesproken wordt in Hongkong. Dit dialect bevat veel Engelse termen en wordt meestal gesproken door mensen die jonger zijn dan 30 en woonachtig zijn in het district Hongkong Island en Kowloon.

  • 香港用語多是指香港、澳門及其它中國大陸以外粵語區的詞匯或口語，包括部分與廣東通用的詞彙，這些詞彙一般在非粵語區（臺灣或中國大陸多數地區等）有完全不同的表述。例如香港將taxi稱為「的士」，這在台灣稱為「計程車」，在中國大陸稱為「出租車」；將laser音譯為「鐳射」，在中國大陸意譯為「激光」，在台灣稱為「雷射」（因為laser與鐳元素並無關連）。也有一些並非受英語影響的粵語本身特有詞彙，例如「雪櫃」是指台灣和中國大陸稱為「冰箱」的東西。
