Japan literally uses their alphabet, half of their words are literally toneless XV century Chinese pronunciation words my fellow american soldier in Japan

>>75840028
They're already making indigenous anime. Soon everyone will associate anime with china.

yeah i'm chinese but desu i think koreans and japs are both superior as a whole.

Chinks were the GOAT culture of Asia..
It's a shame they burned it all away.
But then again it was the Anglo that lead them on this ruinous path.

they shouldnt have made chinese a tonal language if they wanted the rest of the world to learn it.

>mfw you realize that literally every asian country got chinese influence some way or another
You man Han influence.

>mfw you realize that China was such a cultural superpower that literally every language in East Asia have used/uses the chinese alphabet or were heavily influenced by it
Han characters are not the alphabet of China, anon. Your reasoning can also be applied to modern China, which was influenced by the earlier kingdoms/empires. Mainland China was not a monolithic entity throughout the history of those people who lived within those lands.

>mfw you realize that learning japanese kanji makes no sense whatsoever if you haven't got knowledge of Chinese
Right, so you don't actually know a lick of what you are on about. Chinese don't even use many of their older characters. In fact it was regulated heavily, recently, in order to promote wider literacy.
Not even Chinese within China understand those who commumicate in the non-government enforced common language.
Christ, you couldn't be more ignorant if you tried. Modern China is barely at all related to the region during the age of Confucius, and all that jazz.

2bqf, the tones aren't really that tough. Especially they aren't really musical tones, just the perception of the tone remaining static going up or down or rebouncing

>>75842101
The majority of humanity already uses Mandarin, statistically.

>>75842141
Why are you so buttblasted? Are you a Chinese self-hater?
>Modern China is barely at all related to the region during the age of Confucius, and all that jazz.
I am not saying about modern china, but about China in General. Denying they were the main cultural group in Asia along with India, it's like being really delusional

>>75842141
>>75842237
Oh I get it now, I just because I used the wrong terminology. Yes there are tons of ethnic groups and languages in China, I am just using China because it's simpler

>>75842195
Mandarin is like ten different languages. Sichuanese Mandarin and Standard Mandarin for example share less than 50% lexical similarity, which is lower than English and German.

No. Mandarin is a subset instead of the set itself. Both Mardarin, Cantonese, Min etc. are branches of Chinese. You can call them languages or dialects whathever fits your political stance.

>>75841572
why?

I am Han Chinese descendant like all Korean. Together Han Chinese Chinese and Han Chinese Korean will band up and kill Jomon Caucasian Japanese and White Man together and liberate Africa and Middle East.

Chinese Korean will lead Jewish-colored revolution against white European and Japanese

>>75839400
Not surprising. Han China was basically the Rome of East Asia.

>>75842707
What's up with Gan? Was proto-Gan some sort of "middle ground" between Wu and Chu, influenced by both sides or just disputed classification?

why is this hard to believe?
China is like Rome, except it never collapsed completely

even more so because China was the ONLY real civilization in ancient Asia to begin with, meanwhile in the west you had loads of competing ancient civilizations

>>75843489
because most westerns know nothing about China, and if anything have much more contact with Japan than China. I literally have just read about the Cultural Revolution and the Mandate of Heaven. We don't learn about it in School

>>75843489
>China is like Rome, except it never collapsed completely
More like if Italy decided to blob again and kept pretending to be Rome, or if the Nazis somehow managed to blob all over Europe and then switched to a Romance language.

>>75843561
China has many different languages within it, most of which are descended from middle Chinese similar to how romance languages come from Latin
Mandarin is only one northern language of Beijing
they are not intelligible either, Portuguese and Spanish are closer than Mandarin and Cantonese or Wu for example

Do you mean "China was the ONLY real civilization in ancient East-Asia."

>>75843869
that's what I meant
the Indus was more "western" oriented anyways, by that I mean they didn't have nearly as much contact with the far east.
China was basically isolated from other advanced civilizations for a long time

>>75843282
Gan language is mostly spoken in Jiangxi, which was at the middle between the Wu state and Chu state during the Spring and Autumn era. There is an old saying "吳頭楚尾" means "Wu at the head and Chu at the tail", indicates that the area is ruled by the two states in different area. As a a result its language is heavily influenced by Wu and Chu languages.

>>75842707
you're ignoring the point that poster made about the actual similarity in the present-day languages
English and German have a common ancestor in Proto-Germanic and indeed Western Germanic, but that was a couple thousand years ago and so it causes only a resemblance between its descendant language, and sometimes that resemblance is pretty thin

is this true?

>>75844031
The America bro said Mardrain is like ten different languages, implying that all other Chinese languages/dialects is a subset origins from it, and that's wrong. For instance, there has no such thing as Sichuanese Mandarin. Sichuanese is Sichuanese and Mandarin is Mandarin, they are at the same level within the family.

I can agree with you that the similarities among those languages/dialects are sometimes very thin, but that's not the point I'm arguing.

All countries are practically Western in systems, technology and large-part culture. Amerilards (with Europe underlying them) are more of an influence on the world than anyone else ever was.

This was pretty useful

>>75842707
there's no clear seperation of language and dialect.

serbs and croats speak the same dialect, but say its a different language for example.

this is the fundamental issue with language imo that its classification is inherently vague except when its ultra-standarized like formal english or modern german.
