    Usage notes

    • In Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, it is common to use 潮州人 for the general sense. This usage is often considered dated in Mainland China, especially in Guangdong, and 潮汕人 (Cháoshànrén) may be preferred as the general sense. In Mainland China, 潮州人 usually refers to someone specifically from Chaozhou.
