How to Say 'King' in Cantonese | Meaning & Pronunciation

Screen reader context: The phrase Born in the time of The Beatles, my generation in the Philippines was the product of more nationalism and less Americanization than what my parents experienced, born during the Swing and Big Band music era. It was in 1937 that the Philippine government adopted Tagalog, an Austronesian language, as the basis of the national language. Filipinos born during the time of "King of Pop" Michael Jackson had much more Tagalog indoctrination, and television shows, anime, and cinema became more Tagalog. Later Filipinos born during the reign of Lady Gaga became more exposed to the Internet, where English was ubiquitous. With floodgates open, the archipelagic nation once again became inundated with the colonial language. It still seemed though that the reading habit was not for the majority because most books there were in English, which the elite gobbled up. The Philippines was a country of about 200 native Austronesian languages, whose ancient origin was Taiwan. What school children learned was Tagalog (alias Filipino) and English, but Taglish, the patois of code-switching between the two languages, was the de facto oral-aural lingua franca in the islands. English was the main written language. is translated to 我喺菲律賓呢個世代出世喺披頭四嘅時代，係比起我父母經歷嘅更多民族主義同更少美國化嘅產物，佢哋喺 Swing 同 Big Band 音樂時代出世。正正係1937年，菲律賓政府採用咗南島語嘅塔加洛文作為國語嘅基礎。 喺「流行音樂之王」米高積遜嘅時候出世嘅菲律賓人受到更多嘅塔加洛語教化，而電視節目、動漫同電影都變得更加多嘅塔加洛語。後來，喺 Lady Gaga 統治期間出世嘅菲律賓人更加接觸到互聯網，因為英文係無處不在，而呢個群島國家又再次被殖民地語言淹沒，但係呢個閱讀習慣似乎仍然唔適合大多數人，因為嗰度嘅大部分書都係用英文，而呢啲書係由精英人士吞噬嘅。學童學嘅係塔加洛文（又名菲律賓文）同英文，但係塔格利什，兩種語言之間嘅語碼轉換嘅語言，係島嶼上事實上嘅口語 - 聽覺語言，英文係主要嘅書面語言。.
