The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is not an interesting place for anyone examining China’s minority languages since nine out of ten residents speak Cantonese as a first language. Cantonese is considered a Chinese dialect, and has phonological, morphological and syntactic level differences with Putonghua. In fact, most Cantonese speakers find the Putonghua pronunciation system unfamiliar. This is because only a few of them have learned it through Hanyu Pinyin , the transcription system for romanizing Putonghua. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
