Some chinese actually feel scared when they see something that looks like Chinese characters but isn't actually Chinese characters. I call it the "Chinese character uncanny valley.The twelve Chinese characters for "pic" are ghost characters. Their original meanings and pronunciation have vanished into history.
I used the wrong image.
>>219800948how the fuck do they differentiate them? chinese doodles are insane
>>219801172the radicals are consistent enough that you can break all the characters down easily. that is, they aren't as complicated as they look.i'll never understand how chinese can speed read chinese characters though, that does elude me
>>219801436汉字阅读难在哪,你们鬼佬快速读英文才牛逼呢。我读200个字起码要10秒左右,换成英语估计几千个字母了,那么多字母密密麻麻的看的我鸡巴头都要爆炸了。
i feel the same way when i see "simplified chinese"

>>219800929>The twelve Chinese characters for "pic" are ghost characters. Their original meanings and pronunciation have vanished into history.very interesting
>>219800948What do u think about Tangut script?
>>219809480There's also Khitan script which was the older form of the word Cathay. It also has nothing to do with Chinese despite looking like it.
>>219800948still valid radicals, so for them it would be like watching some non-existing word like "siyuhumeniran" or something>>219809480clearly a totally different script, doesnt look like hanzi at all
>>219800948The first character is just a misspelling of 𡚴 (character used to spell Akenbara, Japan)
pic rel is english. not old english, this is english, the same language we are writing in here on this board. an older form of it, but the same language and the same script.
>>219815437Chaucer was before English standardization.https://archive.org/details/TheRecuyellOfTheHistoryes2/page/n13/mode/2upThis was the first book printed in early modern English. Chaucer was Middle English. I can read the Trojan history book with very little effort, but I struggle with Chaucer.
>>219815437What's the issue with that? Looks like rounded Fraktur.
>>219816093The US never used blackletters. They literally can't comprehend, anon.
>>219816178Therto he koude endite and make a thyngTher koude no wight pynche at his writyngAnd every statut koude he pleyn by roteHe rood but hoomly in a medlee coteGirt with a ceint of silk, with barres smaleOf his array telle I no lenger taleA FRANKELEYN was in his compaignyeWhit was his berd as is the dayesyeOf his complexioun he was sangwynThis is what I got from it. Most of the issue is with orthography. Like the word 'daisy' is spelled 'dayesye'. Some of the 's' characters look like 'f' if it's a long 's' sound, that's about the worst of it. The word statute looks like it starts with an 'f' for instance that's about the worst issue I see.
>>219800948IS THAT… A…. A…. LOGOGRAM!?AIIIIIIE SAVE ME YELLOWMAN!!
>>219810007that's why the russians call china "kitay"
