Pronunciation of Hong Kong
The '''pronunciation of Hong Kong''' varies depending upon the language of the native speaker, be it [[Cantonese language|Cantonese]] or [[Standard Mandarin]]. The widespread usage of these languages has created many different ways to pronounce the [[Chinese character]]s 香港, which mean [[Hong Kong]]. The lack of a standard Cantonese [[romanization|romanisation]] standard has created different ways to romanise 香港 based upon the pronunciation in Cantonese.
