	Hong Kong Government Cantonese Romanisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hong Kong Government Cantonese Romanisation (not an official name) is the more or less consistent way for romanising Cantonese proper nouns employed by the Hong Kong Government departments and many non-governmental organisations in Hong Kong.
		This article illustrage and explain how the proper nouns in Hong Kong are transcribed and romanised, and the corresponding pronunciations of the spellings with respect to IPA and Jyutping.
		Nonetheless, the names "Hong Kong" and "Kowloon" are not transliterated based on this system, as they were already named as such prior to the founding of the colony.

	Cantonese (linguistics) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In Hong Kong, the high level tone is often used interchangeably with the high falling tone without affecting the meaning of the words being spoken.
		The current one advocated by the Linguistic Society of Hong Kong (LSHK) is called jyutping, which solves many of the inconsistencies and problems of the older, favored, and more familiar system of Yale romanization, but departs considerably from it in a number of ways unfamiliar to Yale users.
		At least this is the case in Hong Kong, but in mainland China, Cantonese is written with the exact same characters as Mandarin, though the characters stand for words not actually used in Cantonese.

		The Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board test (PLAB) is the assessment procedure conducted by the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom that is required for overseas doctors outside the European Union before they can practice medicine in the UK.
		The principle of linguistic relativity is Benjamin Whorf's theory of the way in which an individual's thoughts are influenced by the language(s) they have available to express them.
		Although Whorf spoke of his theory as being that thoughts were "determined" by the language available to express them, it is doubtful that he intended this in the sense of determinism as the term is understood in philosophy or psychology.

		In addition to the dramatic extension of Hong Kong's prehistory back several thousands of years, fieldwork in the last two decades suggests that there was a general continuity of occupation and population from the earliest period down to recent historical times.
		Archaeology in Hong Kong began in the 1920's with the discovery of polished stone adzes on low eroding hillslopes near the coast.
		At the end of the last glacial period, the broad continental shelf was exposed, and the territory of Hong Kong was entirely dry land at the inner edge of this shelf.

		In Hong Kong, for example, Farmer (1994) argues that learner tend to show a preference for group-work, and the English Language Study Centre at Hong Kong Polytechnic University is accordingly "group-driven".
		The reason for my concentration on Hong Kong tertiary institutions was linked to the provision in 1991 of generous Hong Kong government funding (under the Language Enhancement Programme) to tertiary institutions to boost the effectiveness of existing resources for the teaching of languages.
		Hong Kong students of English have access to several local English language television channels, English language newspapers from abroad and one local daily in English, as well as an enormous range of international magazines, music and literature in English.

		A mere notion of how a non-coercive society can be worked out amounts, to a castle in the sand should it be without a concrete program for moving from the present coercive reality to the non-coercive ideal.
		Here the ideal society should be one without even the minimal ruler-ship of the State, one in which only the very basic form of a society is retained.
		Society, concomitantly, is not in that position to issue authority to which an individual has to obey.
