Sup 4

There was an attempt to further simplify characters, but it failed.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_round_of_simplified_Chinese_characters

五月斯螽动股、六月莎鸡振羽
七月在野、八月在宇、九月在户
十月蟋蟀、入我牀下
穹窒熏鼠
塞向墐户
嗟我妇子、曰为改岁、入此室处

Good, simplified is sometimes harder to learn than traditional.

But this is what dictators are for, just force it on everyone

Seriously think of the children (and us foreigners). Make learning chinese easier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Zhōngguó-kun :)

中國人唔係日本仔

Holy shit. I'm glad it didn't come to pass.

>come across super detailed analyses of Chinese courts' legal decisions and foreign policy done by foreigners
>realize the "the more you study Chinese politics and culture, the less you feel you understand" meme is actually true

syndicates, instincts and anarchy

it's passed and promoted
only it didn't stick

I have four days to apply to mandarin classes in my uni, should I do it lads?

yeah, it's pretty fun

real talk: it's very hard language

bump

昔七十九代之君,法制不一,号令不同,然而俱王天下,何也? 必当国富而粟多也

This sounds amazingly retarded

It really does, even as a learner a lot of those characters were already fairly simple to remember. I'm surprised they even managed to force everyone to write a different way the first time.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY BOARD CHINESE FILTH
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

an authoritarian government requires a much more complex institution to function than other forms of government to do so

This Fin does it again, never checks if sino already exists

天之道,利而不害;人之道,为而弗争

I mean using the 2nd round of simplified characters as a standard didn't come to pass. Those characters look absolutely garbage.

>come to pass
learnt one thing new today

With regards to the first round of simplification, not all of the simplifications were completely new - some were informal simplifications already in use and they were just made official

>Although most of the simplified Chinese characters in use today are the result of the works moderated by the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the 1950s and 60s, character simplification predates the PRC's formation in 1949. Cursive written text almost always includes character simplification. Simplified forms used in print have always existed; they date back to as early as the Qin dynasty (221–206 BC).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Chinese_characters#Before_1949

Additionally many more people were illiterate back in those days making it easier to do big changes like simplification

>But according to the Ministry of Education, the overall literacy rate has gone from 20 percent in 1950 to more than 85 percent today. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of illiterate Chinese has been cut by 40 million.

清长虫 令郎龙 名忙望

anyone studied non-mandarin chinese here?

呢到係四仔

Only a small bit of Canto

is it easy to find native material in it? i want to learn the basics of a chinese language, but i don't like mandarin. but it seems like many of the other languages mainly exist as mainly spoken in their communities, with little media.

廣東話 but I'm also a heritage speaker

Cantonese has a lot of materials for it, especially since it's one of the languages of Hong Kong. Take a look at the materials in the OP and you can also find textbooks on Amazon

check out glossika

你们好中国朋友!

Bumping.
Feel free to come to my country steal out jobs and buy our factories my Chinese friends

They'd rather do that stuff in Canada for some apparent reason. At least they're hard workers and don't commit crimes.
