I think it's the greatest tragedy in the world that the Chinese pictographic script has been phased out in almost every country where it was implemented. The pictographic script could unite the world under a single universal pictographic written language, yet instead we're all using unintelligible phonetic scripts to express our written thoughts. Once upon a time, you could write a sentence in Chinese, and people in Japan, Korea and Vietnam would all be able to understand it, despite not speaking the language, due to the universal nature of pictograms. Imagine if everyone in the world used the Chinese script. We could be communicating right now using universal pictographic placeholders for our individual spoken languages, resulting in global literary intelligence.

我认为,在几乎所有曾经使用过汉字(我理解您这里指的是中国的表意文字系统)的国家中,这种文字的逐渐淘汰是世界上最大的悲剧。这种表意文字本可以使世界在一种单一的、通用的书面语言下联合起来,然而我们却都在使用难以理解的拼音文字来表达书面思想。曾几何时,当你用汉字写一个句子时,日本、韩国和越南的人们都能理解它,尽管他们不讲这种语言,这正是因为表意文字的通用性。试想一下,如果全世界都使用汉字。我们现在就可以用通用的表意符号作为各自口语的文字替代,从而实现全球性的文学智慧。Guess the meaning of above sentence solely inferring from its pictographic aspect
>>216414913I genuinely don't know what point you're trying to make here. The Chinese language already lends itself to grammatical mixing and matching. I'm confident that with a just little cultural knowledge, an English speaker using Hanzi to write could understand a Chinese speaker, and vice versa.>>216414861You're missing the point. English is an entire language, spoken and written, while the pictographic script is a writing system which can be transposed onto ANY language.
>>216415376I aint gonna learn another "just" dritten language as long as english is a thing
>>216415526Well, considering that the two historical English-speaking superpowers are going belly up while China gains increasing global traction...
>>216415911Ever learned another language?
>I think it's the greatest tragedy in the world that the Chinese pictographic script has been phased out in almost every country where it was implemented.Because it's inferior in every aspects, no one wanted it. >The pictographic script could unite the world under a single universal pictographic written language, yet instead we're all using unintelligible phonetic scripts to express our written thoughts. Once upon a time, you could write a sentence in Chinese, and people in Japan, Korea and Vietnam would all be able to understand it, despite not speaking the language, due to the universal nature of pictograms. Why do you think Chinese script specifically is universal? What's 木? Fork? Tight asshole? Human impaled with a long spear? No it's tree. Why is it tree? Doesn't 个 look more like a tree? Then what's 不 which looks similar in its shape? It means "No". Why the hell does this specific shape mean "No"? Do you think anyone can just intuitively infer that it means "no" just by looking at its shape? Then what's 金? abs? a house? no it means "metal". what the fuck about it looks like metal? Then what's 今? It looks arguably similar, does it mean something related to metal? No, 今 means "Now, at this moment, contemporary" etc. >We could be communicating right now using universal pictographic placeholders for our individual spoken languages, resulting in global literary intelligence.are you proposing something like>The 月 is at the 山. It's 白光 illuminates the 全 米fields below. >The MOON is at the SUMMIT. It's WHITE LIGHT illuminates the ENTIRE RICEfields below. Interesting idea but it's pointless and emojis already serve that exact purpose
>>216416019>光Looks like something lightlike, could habe never guessed though
>>216416019You silly Korean cunt, you defend your current occupiers at the expense of your former. All your points are ridiculous and point to a complete lack of understanding of your own cultural heritage. I feel sorry for you.>>216415983Yes. Chinese.
>>216416298Zhang trying not to make everything about le occupiers le colonial le imperial le marx le cultural le hegemony le blah blah we wuz shit lmao Go back to heaven China if it's so great there, chink. Stop posting on gweilo website using gweilo language in a gweilo country relying on gweilo built infrastructures
>>216416498I am a white Australian, I just think it's pathetic how defeated Asians like you worship your own subjugators. Your whole culture is now just a twisted satire of American consumerism.
>>216416298>>216416626defend what current occupiers lmaoat the expense of what former occupiers lmaocultural what shit now? lmaoI was just saying Chinese script is shit and that your idea was also shit although I tried phrasing it gently, but you fabricate a whole fucking book worth of fantastical context about politics and commie like retarded theories about """occupiers"""Fucking 'tarded wumao shill level niggerbrained hallucinations kek wake the fuck up zhang your brain is occupied by some retarded shits and you lack understanding of your chink mom's left ovary
>>216416846Absolutely clueless and enraged Korean slave. What can you do but laugh?
>>216416936how about just kill yourself zhang haha
I like this Korean's idea of using emoji as the universal language
I heard a very interesting piece of news: many speedrun players only use Chinese versions of games because they can skip through every dialogue faster, saving many time for tackling leaderboards.
>>216414677I wish they didn't bastardize the characters though, the traditional characters look pretty sick.
>>216417667This is true. Why take the heart out of love? (爱 from 愛)Why remove the turtle's arms and legs? (龟 from 龜)Now that we can digitally write the characters, the merit of a simplified script is greatly diminished.
