  1. I was fine with Chinese doing the meaning character with the sound character...UNTIL THEY FLIPPED IT. Why does the meaning character sometimes go in front and other times behind? Is there a way to tell without memorizing every single word? I mean, can the MOON+BLADE combo have BLADE as the sound and MOON as the meaning, for something like moon craters?

  2. Also wanted to add that old Chinese had consonant endings like cantonese and Korean. I heard it sounds like klingon. Mandarin - what most people think of when they think Chinese language - is only around 500 years old. Xao would have looked more like zsjaa'ok, for example.

  3.  @whatabouttheearth  check out the Irish language. It's like they vomited vowels in every syllable and only one is used for each syllable...and it changes for every word. 🇮🇪🏞🖼🍺🍺🍺🍺
