Hongkongers (Chinese: 香港人; Jyutping: Hoeng1gong2 jan4), Hong Kongers, Hong Kongese,[13] Hongkongese,[14] Hong Kong citizens[b] and Hong Kong people are demonyms that refer to a resident of Hong Kong, although they may also refer to others who were born and/or raised in the territory.
The earliest inhabitants of Hong Kong were indigenous villagers such as the Punti and Tanka, who inhabited the area prior to British colonization.
Though Hong Kong is home to a number of people of different racial and ethnic origins, the overwhelming majority of Hongkongers are of Han Chinese descent. Many are Yue–speaking Cantonese people and trace their ancestral home to the adjacent province of Guangdong.
The territory is also home to other Han subgroups including the Taishan Yue, Hakka, Hoklo, Teochew, Shanghainese, Sichuanese and Shandong people. Meanwhile, non-Han Chinese Hongkongers such as the British, Filipinos, Indonesians, Thais, South Asians and Vietnamese make up six percent of Hong Kong's population.[16]
