	Hong Kong English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hong Kong English is sometimes used to refer to the accent and characteristics of English spoken by some of the ethnic Chinese residents of Hong Kong.
		English is an official language in Hong Kong but for most of the population who are ethnic Chinese, it is a second language acquired from school education.
		The accent of spoken English in Hong Kong, perhaps, originates from the "tung sheng" (通勝), in which it is possible to find one or two pages containing lots of direct transliteration of English into Cantonese words, for example, "dinner" would be transliterated into the chinese words "甸那", pronounced "din na".
