Macao and Hong Kong face each other across the sea. Who are the people who live in Macau? Do you write traditional Chinese characters in Cantonese?

The official languages of Macao are Cantonese and Portuguese. Usually daily life is mainly Cantonese, and now Mandarin is also very popular. However, Cantonese in Macao and Hong Kong is a little different from that in Guangzhou, but there is no problem in daily conversation.

At present, only Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province still use traditional Chinese characters. Other Chinese communities in the world have switched to simplified characters. I worked in Singapore for two years. Singaporeans began to use simplified characters in the late 1980s, and so did Malaysia. Other places, such as American Chinese, Australian Chinese, European Chinese, etc. Most of them use simplified Chinese characters, except for immigrant Chinese from Hong Kong. Recently, more and more mainlanders go abroad, so Chinese mainland's influence in the world is growing. Many new immigrants to the United States are mostly from Chinese mainland. Therefore, it is certainly not unusual for them to use simplified characters. For New Matai, especially Singapore, Singapore and other countries, what they say is pragmatism. It turned out to be pragmatism, so simplified characters are convenient, and of course simplified characters will be chosen. But also better communicate with mainlanders. Before I went to Singapore, I thought they used traditional Chinese characters and spoke Cantonese or Minnan dialect. But I didn't expect them to use simplified Chinese characters and speak Mandarin like we mainlanders. So the communication between us is very convenient, and the gap is very small. As a part of China, Hong Kong still rejects simplified characters and calls them "residual characters". Some Hong Kong dogs also say that simplified Chinese characters are used, and those who speak Mandarin are all imbeciles. But once you meet Singaporeans or people from Taiwan Province Province, you have to pretend to be a grandson. Although Taiwan Province Province also uses traditional Chinese characters, they always use Mandarin as the official language. From this perspective, I like it very much.
