I agree they should teach multiple languages in school. We are a multilingual society.

One thing nice about the Chines language is that once you learn (to write) one dialect, the writing sytem is virutally the same for every dialect. However, the people who speak different dialects, such as Mandarin, Cantonese or Fukenese can't understand each other, but they can understand each other through written language.

Shame they have run out of symbols/shapes

cool

@Sofabeast They haven't run out os symbols. Modern Chinese has much fewer symbols than ancient Chinese. They simplified the writing system a while back. They were goign to scrap the writign system entirely, going to a system using the Roman alphabet, but then came computers, which allowed them a more efficent way to keep the more traditional pictogram system.

It is a fascinating culture, one that has been continuous for about 5000 years. Mandarin is a cool language, but Cantonese is in much more common use in the United States. I know a little of both because I like to eat authentic Chinese cuisine a lot and they have several cuisines.

what is your favorite cuisine?

@btroje if Chinese, Sichuan. Because super spicy. But I do like real Cantonese, Hong Kong style. Cantonese has the best seafood. As well as Hunan, Shanghainese and Fukien. There’s very little legit Chinese I don’t like.

@jperlow I like Sichuan too.

For starters, Jesus wasn't an Asian looking dude. So they never had that "contribution". As far as having a large population of non believers, that I don't know and I would consider checking the source. Xie xie !!!
