Syntax was actually using his own self-made dialect of Chinese. He created it around the time he was in China to advise Sun Tzu on military tactics.

Syntax is now torridly Googling Chinese to see if there is, somewhere, somehow, some linguistic loophole that would allow him to try to get out of this lie.

OP
You don't no shit about Chinese language. Nice try but next time b4 you make such a claim you should research the subject you No nada about or otherwise someone such as ME will come along and call you just one more Donald Trump con artist faker and liar

Now I of course No nada about Chinese language WELL That was true b4 your topic - Now with a pile of quick tabs on the subject and examples on how many Chinese don't have a clue either EXCEPT just enough do in Mandarin so they can make subtitles for foreign movies and get people to pay ALAS that often fails cause

> The Chinese had no uniform phonetic transcription system until the mid-20th century,
> Cantonese is unique among non-Mandarin regional languages in having a written colloquial standard, used in Hong Kong and overseas, with a large number of unofficial characters for words particular to this dialect.

> with a large number of unofficial characters for words particular to this dialect.

In the 20th century, written Chinese divided into two canonical forms, called simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. Simplified Chinese was developed in mainland China in order to make the characters faster to write (especially as some characters had as many as a few dozen strokes) and easier to memorize. The People's Republic of China claims that both goals have been achieved, but some external observers disagree. Little systematic study has been conducted on how simplified Chinese has affected the way Chinese people become literate; the only studies conducted before it was standardized in mainland China seem to have been statistical ones regarding how many strokes were saved on average in samples of running text.


> The simplified forms have also been criticized for being inconsistent.
> Inconsistencies create problems between Mandarin, Cantonese, Fuzhounese, because they transfer to the same characters.
> Transference, in which a character, often with a simple, concrete meaning takes on an extended, more abstract meaning, depending on the dialect

OP you remind me of FatFuck who pretends to no shit about food but proved he does no what shit tastes like because he had no choice but to eat the crap that was served.

You do a topic that is loaded with proof you No Shit about the Chinese language - I suggest you spend some time with On over at TC and discuss with him - Ask him what happens if a fly spec hits a Chinese character and changes the meaning from I want to make love to a real girl instead of palm of hand and fly spec changes it to I want to make garbage out of my palm

I only used two tabs of 5 and there are some fun examples of how hard this Chicken Scrapings of ritting becomes

But I thought Hong Kong and PRChina used different systems (traditional and simplified).

I dunno man, a lot of people can't read or write in cursive anymore. It's not even being taught in schools these days. You could say "all English speaking people write the same!" but If write a letter in cursive with a fountain pen, like half the population will be unable to read it.

Syntax replied with this 10 years ago, 1 minute later, 6 hours after the original post[^] [v] #708,793

Damn so much more about language that looks like Hen scratching's

Because the majority of modern Chinese words contain more than one character, there are at least two measuring sticks for Chinese literacy: the number of characters known, and the number of words known. John DeFrancis, in the introduction to his Advanced Chinese Reader, estimates that a typical Chinese college graduate recognizes 4,000 to 5,000 characters, and 40,000 to 60,000 words.

Jerry Norman, in Chinese, places the number of characters somewhat lower, at 3,000 to 4,000. These counts are complicated by the tangled development of Chinese characters. In many cases, a single character came to be written in multiple ways.

> The entire Chinese character corpus since antiquity comprises well over 20,000 characters, of which only roughly 10,000 are now commonly in use. However Chinese characters should not be confused with Chinese words. Because most Chinese words are made up of two or more characters,

"there are many times more Chinese words than there are characters."

> Many modern forms of the Chinese languages have their own distinct writing system using Chinese characters that contain colloquial variants. These typically are used as sound characters to help determine the pronunciation of the sentence within that language:

Written Cantonese is the written form of Cantonese, the most complete written form of Chinese after that for Mandarin Chinese. Written Chinese was originally developed for Classical Chinese, and was the main literary language of China until the 19th century. Written vernacular Chinese first appeared in the 17th century and a written form of Mandarin became standard throughout China in the early 20th century. While texts written in this system can in principle be read word for word in other Chinese varieties'

, this sounds unnatural because of differences in idiom, grammar, and usage. Modern Cantonese speakers have therefore developed their own written script, sometimes creating new characters for words that either do not exist or have been lost in standard Chinese.


Shocking that OP had no clue (nor wood I) That Ritten Cantonese differs from Mandarin
