Talk:Hongkongese

I wonder what this would be, a Chinese-English creole?

Also, welcome back (again). --DAH BUY000R! (wall | crimes)


 * Thank you. :) It's planning to be a Cantonese-English creole with lots of influence from Hindi, Nepali, Punjabi and many Southeast Asian languages like Vietnamese, Tagalog, Indonesian, etc. Deslee (talk) 14:09, April 24, 2015 (UTC)


 * The project is in progress with an alternative history of Hong Kong as the background of the formation of this English creole. Hongkongese is first spoken by native-born Eurasians with English and Cantonese parents and later became the lingua franca among all nationalities living in Hong Kong. The influence from South Asians is based on this. For Vietnamese, it's based on this. For Indonesian, it's based on this. Domestic helpers in Hong Kong can also contribute lots of loanwords from Tagalog and Indonesian to this creole. --Deslee (talk) 01:40, April 26, 2015 (UTC)
