簡介 Introduction

本網站是《圍頭與客家——香港本土語言故事》（劉擇明、鄧以楷著，2024）一書的電子版，收集香港本地鄉郊的圍頭話及客家話故事，涵蓋童話故事、民間傳說、古蹟歷史、傳統風俗、鄉村生活等範疇，並附以錄音、卡通及插畫或圖片等多媒體資源，供大眾學習，傳承本土語言，認識本土文化，接觸市區以外香港的另一面。
This is the companion website to Waitau and Hakka: Hong Kong Indigenous Language Story Collection (Lau and Tang, 2024), showcasing stories in Waitou and Hakka collected from communities in the Hong Kong countryside. These tales encompass vast categories including children’s stories, folklore, local history and custom as well as village life, and are accompanied by multimedia representations such as recordings, animations and illustrations or photographs. Our project aims to allow the general public to learn and transmit indigenous languages and culture, with a view to encountering Hong Kong from a lesser-known perspective.
