Dot Dot News
''Dot Dot News'' ( zh, 點新聞) is a pro-Beijing online media outlet located in Hong Kong, established in 2016. It has a close relationship with pro-Beijing newspaper '' Wen Wei Po'', sharing the same office in Hing Wai Industrial Centre in Tin Wan. Following the death of a protester who fell from the Pacific Place shopping mall on 15 June 2019 after standing on the fourth-floor platform for five hours, ''Dot Dot News'' published an article the next day, alleging that LegCo politician Roy Kwong phoned the victim and encouraged him to commit suicide at the scene. Kwong denounced the article as fake news, saying that the practice of fabricating charges against a victim was despicable. Kwong also rebuked the accusations, stating that police prevented him, a registered social worker, from counselling the man to encourage him to return to a safer spot.

Chinese Language
Chinese (, especially when referring to written Chinese) is a group of languages spoken natively by the ethnic Han Chinese majority and many minority ethnic groups in Greater China. About 1.3 billion people (or approximately 16% of the world's population) speak a variety of Chinese as their first language. Chinese languages form the Sinitic branch of the Sino-Tibetan languages family. The spoken varieties of Chinese are usually considered by native speakers to be variants of a single language. However, their lack of mutual intelligibility means they are sometimes considered separate languages in a family. Investigation of the historical relationships among the varieties of Chinese is ongoing. Currently, most classifications posit 7 to 13 main regional groups based on phonetic developments from Middle Chinese, of which the most spoken by far is Mandarin (with about 800 million speakers, or 66%), followed by Min (75 million, e.g. Southern Min), Wu (74 million, e ...

English Language
English is a West Germanic language of the Indo-European language family, with its earliest forms spoken by the inhabitants of early medieval England. It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britain. Existing on a dialect continuum with Scots, and then closest related to the Low Saxon and Frisian languages, English is genealogically West Germanic. However, its vocabulary is also distinctively influenced by dialects of France (about 29% of Modern English words) and Latin (also about 29%), plus some grammar and a small amount of core vocabulary influenced by Old Norse (a North Germanic language). Speakers of English are called Anglophones. The earliest forms of English, collectively known as Old English, evolved from a group of West Germanic ( Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century and further mutated by Norse-speaking Viking settlers starting in ...
