How do Chinese people type if they have thousands of unique characters in their inscrutable Lovecraftian moon language?
>>
>>75728447
They type phonetically
>>
>>75728447
they use latin alphabet that turns into chinese characters.

Seems kinda pointless to learn those characters in the first place to be honest.
>>
>>75728470
how does that work if they have no alphabet?
>>
>>75728521
It's some kind of gay software that translates latin input into chingchong squiggles
>>
>>75728529
christ what a stupid language
>>
>>75728529

>chingchong squiggles
don't you mean pling pong bong kong lee bling clang cling soo poo loo pee lee, squiggles?
>>
the shorthand is simpler

say i want to say 我也是 , i just need to type wys as input for chinese pinyin and it will display 我也是 and i just press space bar and it will display it

so in using pinyin the idea is to abuse the shorthand without needing to spell everything out

it works similarly with the other input methods, common phrases show up as options so you don't have to type everything out
>>
>you have to learn how to pronounce your own language with latin characters because nobody fucking uses phonetics

mandarin is the most cucked language of all time
>>
>>75728716
just use zhuyin or something
why so dicksucking anon?
>>
>>75728632
why not just learn english

This is japanese but it works basically on the same principle.
>>
>>75728716
I agree, you should have used the Hebrew alphabet instead. Btw is 4chan popular among young people in China?
>>
>>75728748
I hate it
>>
>>75728747
zhuyin is also retarded.

just because I say mandarin is cucked doesn't mean I suck western cock, it's just that mandarin itself is a wretched invention in the first place and if memory serves me well even Mao said he regretted pushing it.

Logographic languages can be horribly inefficient, pic related is a chink typewriter.
>>
>>75728716
True.
>>
They use hexadecimal
>>
>>75728819
fug. why did logographic languages persist in the East if they are so inefficient?
>>
>>75728793
yes it does, so is quoting mao

mandarin is not an invention, it is the standardization of the language spoken at court, used by mandarins, obviously not akin to some westerners meme regional language but that does not make it "cuck" technically because of its widespread it makes the centralization theme of chinese civilization even more prominent such that the specialized language of bureaucrats is used by over a billion people as common language

focusing on regional meme language is the definition of being cucked to western ideas of "muh peoples"
>>
>>75728850
You can understand logographic scripts without needing to understand the phonetics of the words they inscribe. Different scripts for different purposes
>>
>>75728819
Imagine manually assembling texts for press printing.
>>
>>75728885
Forgot the pic
>>
>>75728866
nice projections, just because I say "cucked" and that it's a "wretched invention" doesn't imply that I deny it's usefulness in raising overall literacy levels.

>>75728923
stop abusing slang

Why are Chinese and Koreans so much better at speaking English on 4chan than Japanese? Are the Japs just retarded or something?
>>
>>75728933
I will stop if you can somehow point out that my prior posts betrays anything else other than my own heated personal opinions.

Mandarin is a shitty language, they could have used a more aesthetic language, like Hakka, Hokkien, or Shanghainese

>>75728866 this post implicates that my love for regional languages has blinded my logical reasoning despite my previous posts having no such hints to this implication, I demand a full apology.

But that's pretty much what I did.
If you pay attention you'll see that before they form syllables a few latin characters appear, it's the characters I was pressing on my keyboard. But as soon as they form a syllable they get converted to that japanese phonetic symbol (hiragana).
I can then transform those phonetic symbols to their chinese characters counterparts.
