Cantonese people in Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cantonese people represent the largest ethnic group in Hong Kong.
Beside the Cantonese, people of other Han Chinese ethnic groups also reside in Hong Kong. However, the Cantonese remains the largest ethnic group even amongst the Han Chinese ethnic groups in Hong Kong. As such, Hong Kong culture is highly Cantonese-influenced. Together with the fact that Cantonese is most commonly used as the language of both everyday and formal conversations, as well as its use in the media and education, other Han Chinese ethnic groups in Hong Kong, such as the Hakka, the Hokkien, the Shanghainese, or the Teochew, in particular those who are Hong Kong born or raised, often assimilate into the mainstream Cantonese identity of Hong Kong.
