>Have an alphabet that can represent all the sounds in their language.>Still use chingchong hieroglyphics instead.Why are they like this?
>>214363894>sees SOVL>chimps out about how it's not efficientare you anglo-saxon?
Japanese doesn't have D?
>>214363894This retarded language has way too many homophones so making it hard to read without chink characters
>>214364016Stop being homo.
>>214363894kanji is based because it filters retards from learning the language.
>>214363894>no we, wi, yi or ye because they were replaced by e, i, ji and je, respectively They should return to tradition.
>>214363894>>214364037>t. brainlet
>>214364016>>214364660VPN or Pvt Gómez?
>>214364275that's not how it is at all
>>214364016homophones are a practical reason that we still stick to Kanji. but it's not essential motive.our language is what's to be written by the chingchong hieroglyphics in the first place.syllabaries are just the supportive letters.
>>214364009It does. That pic isn't showing you all of the letters.To is と, do is ど
>>214363894It's betterBut only if your brain can handle it
>>214363894Whats wrong with that
>>214364016>homophoneshow many of those are actually commonly used words though?
>>214364791Just adopt the Latin alphabet already. The Yanks should have forced you at gunpoint.
>>214364009Doesn't have L or V. Also every letter ends with a vowel sound except for N
>>214365798Homo phone xDDD
>>214363894Just learn to say english words like a retard and you're golden.KONPYUTAFAITOMESEGIMAKUDORANUDOINSUTANTOHERUPUORENGIDon't ever bother about writing stuff, rape a jap female, that means she is yours, then she will follow you around and write things for you.
>>214364791Who cares about homophones. We have it in English and nobody cares."Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a valid sentence in English.
>>214363894>flagyour language could've been discovered 5 minutes ago and its alpahebt would look the same as it's right nowJapanese is a mess, yes. But there's so much history and culture embeded into it
>>214364016>>214364791you can't convince me that Japanese would be unreadable if you had kana with spaces and tonal markersNot that it'd be a good idea to switch, of course not. It would just be perfectly functional writing system
>>214367010>"Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a valid sentence in English.no it's not, it's a meme sentence tto show what's technically correct. nobody actually knows what the fuck is going on when they look at it
>>214367087Fly fly fly.There's another one.It's not a "meme", it's just an example of homophones.
>>214367110yes english has words with mamy meanings and same pronunciationbut japanese has similar sounding words with different pitch accenthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial-stress-derived_noun this would make a better example excape they're all related words while in japanese they may be unrelated
>>214367110>Fly fly fly.That must be written "Flig flig flig" btw.
You have 144 letters, and 10,000 kanji. How the fuck are homophones a big issue in Japanese.
>>214367110Like telling a fly fly to fly?
>>214363894I quite like the east Asian approach to writing. If you think about it, it's very silly to represent the sound of language in writing when your goal is to convey meaning. Representing meaning with characters directly makes a lot more sense.Japanese is a hybrid of the two ideas because they needed to give the reader hints regarding the sound since they adopted the writing system pretty late
>>214367110Wenn hinter Fliegen Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen hinterher.
Flyg, fula fluga, flyg! Och den fula flugan flög. = Fly, ugly fly, fly! And the ugly fly flew.le tongue twister
>>214367439remember, all writing ultimatily comes from logographies. even our alphabet is descended from the hieroglyphs. Chinese and their neighbors simply never stopped using them>Japanese is a hybrid of the two ideas because they needed to give the reader hints regarding the sound since they adopted the writing system pretty latethe biggest reason is probably inflection. No one wanted to make abstract characters for the different verb endings
>>214367533>the biggest reason is probably inflection. No one wanted to make abstract characters for the different verb endingsThis is accurate.
>>214363894母は花が好きははははながすきretard
>>214367533idk, I don't speak Chinese but they seem to manage. They all use counting suffixes, pluralizing suffixes etc so it's not that far-fetched to have e.g. a suffix for verbs indicating the past tense. Of course, if your past tenses are all formed the same way (RY+ta in Japanese), that suffix might end up being re-used out of context as the "ta" syllable anyway. People are creative like that, it's literally the same process as memes.>haha I used a thing out of context and broke the rules but the rules associated with the thing mean that everyone understands what I meant anyway, isn't that funnyLike when people started using the noun "fire" as an adjective for things they thought were awesome (a word which, in itself, gained a different connotation through a similar process)
