研讨香港的中国语文政策,既要面对香港百多年来形成的“双文三语”的现实,又要考虑“一国两制”的既定政策。1997年后,在香港中文和英文都会继续使用,只不过变英文第一为中文第一。粤方言将仍是一种交际语,但也要推广普通话。在短时期内,很难用简体字代替繁体字。

Studies on the policies of the Chinese language in Hong Kong should be based on Hong Kong's reality of "bi-culture, three languages", a situation that has developed for a hundred years, together with China's policy of "one country, two systems". Both Chinese and English will be used after 1997, with a minor change as a result of which Chinese will take the place of English as the first language. Cantonses is still a means of communication, while pu-tonghua will become a popular speech. However, it is not likely that the simplified Chinese charcters will replace the complex original forms.
