Pronunciation of Hong Kong in English
Both Cantonese and Putonghua are spoken in Hong Kong, which has created many different ways to romanise the different pronunciations of 香港, the Chinese characters for "Hong Kong".
- Pinyin: Xiānggǎng;
- Wade-Giles: Hsiang-kang
"Hong Kong" is an approximate transliteration of the Chinese name based on its Cantonese pronunciation.
