Languages of Hong Kong
The Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulates that both Chinese (de facto Cantonese) and English are official languages in Hong Kong.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hong Kong Basic Law: Chapter I )〕 During the British colonial era, English was the sole official language of Hong Kong until 1974. The majority of the population in Hong Kong were migrants or descendants of migrants from the Canton and speak standard Cantonese of Yue dialects, Hakka or Teochew as first language, and only a minority groups were expatriates. In addition, there were immigrants from the West and other Asian countries, countries such as the Indian subcontinent, United Kingdom, and the Philippines. The multicultural population, as a result, has contributed much to Hong Kong's language diversity.
==Chinese and English==
Chinese language and English are both official languages of Hong Kong under the Hong Kong Basic Law (article 9) and the Official Languages Ordinance (chapter 5 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Historically, English was the sole official language of Hong Kong from 1883 to 1974. Only after demonstrations and petitions from Hong Kong people demanding equal status for Chinese,〔http://www.cusu.hk/archive/cu40.htm 〕 did Chinese become the other official language in Hong Kong from 1974 onward. In March 1987, the Official Languages Ordinance was amended to require all new legislation to be enacted bilingually in both English and Chinese. In 1990, the Hong Kong Basic Law declared English's co-official language status with Chinese after the 1997 handover.
