San Tsuen (Chinese: 新村) is situated in the north eastern New Territories of Hong Kong, to the west the town of Shataukok.
The village is inhabited by the Yau (邱, Hakka: khiu33) clan. It is a Hakka speaking village.
San Tseun was the village that linguist Henry Henne chose to source his informant Khjew Fuj (邱惠) for the Hakka dialect of Shataukok. He collected his information between July 1949 and April 1950.
Famous quotes containing the word san:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
