Another area of confusion is the mixed use of [[wp:Standard Mandarin|Mandarin]] and [[wp:Canton dialect|Cantonese]] spellings in his name. Huang Lee hails from Hong Kong, where the Cantonese dialect is more commonly used, but "[[wp:Huang (surname)|Huang]]" is written in a Romanized Mandarin spelling when "[[wp:Wong (surname)|Wong]]" or "[[wp:Wang (surname)|Wang]]" should be used; "[[wp:Lee (surname)|Lee]]" is correctly Cantonese, while the Mandarin equivalent is "[[wp:Li (surname)|Li]]". This means Huang Lee's name may also been purely referred to as "Wong Lee" or "Wang Lee" in Cantonese and "Huang Li" in Mandarin. His early background in Hong Kong remains largely unexplained. | Another area of confusion is the mixed use of [[wp:Standard Mandarin|Mandarin]] and [[wp:Canton dialect|Cantonese]] spellings in his name.
