Zhong guo

I remember participating in arguments for usage of English words in Hindi (a language which these days is called “Hinglish”). If using a combination of two languages you are able to express yourself perfectly, what’s the harm???
Like every other thing shouldn’t language too be “modernized”?

I think language was invented to communicate and should be easy rather than un-interpretable and secretive.
Leave aside modernization; shouldn’t it be revised to make it simpler?

Civilization has crossed all phases but there is a country in this world that instead of having 26 or 60 alphabets in its script has more than 40,000 not alphabets but SYMBOLS. And you need to learn atleast 7,000 to just survive there. No points guessing it. It’s the language of the “Main Land”, China.

I am learning it and its freaking me out.

Its Romanization is beyond our imagination. A simple word like “Thank you” is written as Xie-Xie and pronounced as Shei-Shei.
Same word has TOTALLY different meanings when said in different pitch.
Agreed that it’s a very old language and all the sentiments related to it. But since it was developed by their ancestors (probably since the time of nomads) doesn’t mean they need to continue the same pictorial language.
Can’t this hieroglyphics Cantonese (or Mandarin) be revised to make it simpler?

PS : Zhong-guo means China

DISCLAIMER : No offense to Chinese, these are just my thoughts and may be after learning it for 2-3 months I too might develop a flair for it ;).
