‘Mars Language’ is a new language that collectively created by 90’s young people on the web in recent years. As this language is different from formal languages, therefore it is named ‘Mars Language’.
There are various type of ‘Mars Language’ such as emoticons and wrong words that originate from formal languages. ‘Mars Language’ is popular among young web users in Hong Kong now. We can find a large number of ‘Mars Language’ appears on forums, instant messagers and blogs.
‘Mars Language’ gives an alternative way for young people to communicate with others. However, the contrast between the way young people communicate and their parents is obvious because their parents are used to formal languages only. The generation gap is widening under this culture. ‘Mars Language Post’ is designed for the parents who have no idea of ‘Mars Language’. I wish it can allow parents to explore young people’s creativity and sense of humor.
「火星文」，是指九十年代的年青人近年在網絡上共同創作的溝通語言。由於這一類文字有別於正規語文，所以被稱之為「火星文」。
「火星文」包含了不同的類型，如表情符號和改編自正規語文的錯別字。現在，「火星文」流行於香港的年青網絡用戶群；我們可以從論壇、網誌和即時短訊中找到大量的「火星文」。
「火星文」為年青人提供了另類的與人溝通的方式。可是這一種新興的文化，使年青人和只會用正規語文的家長之間，產生了愈見明顯的代溝。本作品“MARS LANGUAGE POST”，正是一系列專為對「火星文」一竅不通的家長而設的報刊；讓家長可以透過對火星文的認識，發現年輕一輩的創意和幽默。
