During the British colonial era, English was the sole official language until 1978. Today, the Basic Law of Hong Kong states that English and Chinese are the two official languages of Hong Kong.[1] All roads and government signs are bilingual, and both languages are used in academia, business and the courts, as well as in most government materials today.
