Terminology Han Chinese residents generally refer to themselves as Hèung Góng Yàhn (traditional Chinese: 香港人; Cantonese Yale: Hèung Góng Yàhn), literally "Hong Kong people", which are often referred to as Hong Kong Chinese (traditional Chinese: 香港華人) outside Hong Kong. Non-Han-Chinese individuals born in the area are technically classified as "Hong Kong people", though they may choose to be identified by their original heritage instead. But there is also a name to group all the people from Hong Kong, it is known as "Hong Kongers" (or sometimes Hongkongers). Recently, the word 'Hongkongese' is also found and is getting more popular to describe the unique local culture of Hong Kong or to refer to Hongkongers.[8] Languages Chinese languages Religions Predominantly Taoism, Mahayana Buddhism, traditional Chinese religions, and atheism. ...
