You can easily spot her accent.

I also know the 1st gen immigrants from Shanghai to HK, many who are tailors, had strong accent too.

It is similar to the 1st gen of Latins, Mexicans who are off the boat to USA. The 2nd gen speaks better English than the 1st gen, obviously.

Still, no one beats the diva Faye Wong on non-native speaking Canto. She is considered as one of the quick learners of Canto.

Vietnam HCM District 5 area is Chinatown.

The older gen learnt spoken and written Cantonese in schools.

New gen learn Mandarin

Yes, very much like native HK minus the HK street slangs

^ kinda doubt that

wahh not bad, is it public school or private school?

not only Cantonese lar, HK Cantonese food also somewhat different from MY Cantonese food.

Private school

Ngai em di dau..

Is HK professional Cantonese same with mandarin for the script?

HK pro use English

Do you notice HK movies are using 'ooi' recently rather than 'yiu' that was used previously just like how Malaysian Cantonese is spoken?

Why the change? No more Mandarinised?

In HK, the informal or colloquial is slightly different than Standard Chinese. Go watch their gaming live streams.

But in formal or professional writing, they tend to use Standard Chinese, much like in TW.

As for script or writing, HK and TW use traditional Chinese and PRC, SG, MY use simplified Chinese.

Engine in Cantonese is borrowed from English... it’s called “yan king” 引擎

Malaysian - mix with slang
HK - origin

I think mainland China also use yin qing.. I saw a mandarin novel by mainland China they use it
