This has given rise to a bizarre phenomenon: although the vast majority of secondary schools in Hong Kong claim to use English as their medium of instruction, in fact a "half-English, half-Cantonese mixture" --known as "mixed code," or less flatteringly "Ching-lish" --is what is really spoken in most of their classrooms.
於是就出現了一種畸形的現象：雖然香港大多中學都「號稱」以英文授課，但其實「一半英文，一半廣東話」的混雜語言，才是大多學校上課的情況。
