Hong Kong Cantonese
Hong Kong Cantonese is a dialect of Cantonese spoken primarily in Hong Kong. As the most commonly spoken language in Hong Kong, it shares a recent and direct lineage with the Guangzhou (Canton) dialect.

Inhaber, or Proprietor, was a term used in the Habsburg military to denote special honors extended to a noble or aristocrat.

Originally, he raised the regiment, funded its needs, and received a portion of its revenue, which might be plunder or loot.  He also shared in its shame or its honors.

Within the Prussian Army, Bavarian Army and other German armies, the title was Regimentschef  (English: Regimental Chief). The Imperial Russian military adopted a similar system. In the United Kingdom there is a similar title called Colonel of the Regiment. If the appointment was honorary, a "second" colonel was appointed who would fulfill the duties of the colonel. A honorary incumbent was similar to a British Colonel-in-chief.

Irish orthography
Irish orthography is the set of conventions used to write the Irish language. A spelling reform in the mid-20th century led to An Caighdeán Oifigiúil, the modern standard written form used by the Government of Ireland, which regulates both spelling and grammar. The reform removed inter-dialectal silent letters, simplified some letter sequences, and modernised archaic spellings to reflect modern pronunciation, but it also removed letters pronounced in some dialects but not in others.

Irish spelling represents all Irish dialects to a high degree despite their considerable phonological variation, e.g. crann ("tree") is read /kɾˠan̪ˠ/ in Mayo and Ulster, /kɾˠaːn̪ˠ/ in Galway, or /kɾˠəun̪ˠ/ in Munster. Some words may have dialectal pronunciations not reflected by their standard spelling, and they sometimes have distinct dialectal spellings to reflect this.

Silent letter
In an alphabetic writing system, a silent letter is a letter that, in a particular word, does not correspond to any sound in the word's pronunciation. In linguistics, a silent letter is often symbolised with a null sign U+2205 ∅ EMPTY SET, which resembles the Scandinavian letter Ø. A null or zero is an unpronounced or unwritten segment.

A historical dictionary is primarily of interest to scholars of language, but may also be used as a general dictionary.
