Talk:Hok-Seng Lau/@comment-1.41.170.199-20181215082324/@comment-114.34.214.54-20200512191312

Another possible reason is that Hok-Seng Lau (also the other Formosans) actually doesn’t speak Chinese (which is the language Hong-Ling uses). He speaks a dialect called Hokkien, which is nowhere intelligible to Chinese. It is very common in Taiwan (then Formosa lol) that people who only speak Chinese don’t know what Hokkien-speakers are saying. I grow up in Taiwan so I’m very certain about that.

Another evidence they don't use the same language is the way the Formosans spell their names. In Chinese his name would sound like Fu-Sheng instead of Hok-Seng.

By the way I really appreciate the efforts the producer made in making language accurate. The voice actor NAILED every Hokkien dialogue. Both pronunciation and word usage are very precise in Hokkien are precise. I’ve never heard such perfect Hokkien in any Western game!
