WHAT DOES HONG KONGESE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hong Kongese

Hong Kong people

Hongkonger or People of Hong Kong are people who are from Hong Kong or live in Hong Kong and considered Hong Kong is their hometown. These terms have no legal definition by the Hong Kongese Government; more precise terms such as Hong Kong Permanent Resident and Hong Kong Resident are used in legal contexts. Besides being used to refer to a Hong Kong resident, Hongkonger might also be used more loosely to refer to someone who may not have legal residence status in Hong Kong, but has spent an extensive period of time in the city or has a strong cultural connection with Hong Kong. In March 2014, Hongkonger and Hong Kongese both terms are officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary. According to the Dictionary, the first time that the term Hong Kongese appeared was in 1878, while the term Hongkonger appeared even earlier in an edition of a US newspaper The Daily Independent in 1870. The term Hongkonger does not make reference to the ethnicity of a person, and is also independent of Chinese citizenship or residency status.
