What is the official language of Hong Kong?

The official languages of Hong Kong are Cantonese and English. Although everyone in Hong Kong can speak Cantonese, not everyone in Hong Kong can speak English, such as the older generation. However, as a truly international metropolis and a British colony for many years, Hong Kong's official speeches, conference languages and legal texts of many institutions still use English. In this sense, we should be able to say that Cantonese is the mother tongue of Hong Kong and English is the official language.

Hong kong cantonese commentary

Both Hong Kong and Macao were occupied. Due to the limitation of geographical location, the local population mobility is relatively poor. Hong Kong people may have only been exposed to Cantonese or English all their lives, while Macao people may have only been exposed to Cantonese or Portuguese all their lives and have never been outside Hong Kong and Macao. Even if they have been there, most of them have been to the nearest Guangdong, where Cantonese is spoken, and mainlanders seldom come to Hong Kong and Macao. So Cantonese can be said to be the official language of Hong Kong and Macao, because no one speaks Mandarin, so you should use it.
