| | Chinese character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Use of Chinese characters has disappeared from the Vietnamese language, where they were used until the 20th century. | | | Although now nearly extinct in Vietnamese, varying scripts of Chinese characters (hán tự) were once in widespread use to write the language, although hán tự became limited to ceremonial uses beginning in the 19th century. | | | According to Chinese legend, Jiuli was defeated by the military unification of Huang Di and Yandi, leaders of the Huaxia tribe (the ancestors of the Han Chinese) as they struggled for supremacy of the Huang He valley. |

| | Dungan Script and Chinese Language Reform |
| | The present paper is an exercise in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics inasmuch as it focusses on the practical aspects of SD as they relate to Chinese script reform in the recent past and the near future. | | | Unless we assume that the lectures of Chinese professors are babyish and the tales of Chinese storytellers are bland, then there is nothing to prevent the emulation of SD by MSM. | | | On the other hand, the Chinese are in some respects in a better position to phoneticize MSM than were the Dungans when they started out to do so in the early part of this century. |

| | Chinese characters are thus like Arabic numerals in the sense that they have the same meaning or set of meanings, regardless of how they are pronounced--one, two, three; une, deux, trois; uno, dos, tres; and so forth--giving China great cultural unity over time and across space. | | | In contrast to the spoken language, the Chinese written language can be understood by anyone who has mastered it, regardless of the dialect he or she speaks. | | | Not surprisingly, Chinese cartoonists had a field day after the fall of the Gang of Four in 1976. |

| | Vernacular Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Along with the growing popularity of vernacular writing in books in this period was the acceptance of punctuation, modeled after that used in Western languages (traditional Chinese literature was entirely unpunctuated), and the use of Arabic numerals. | | | Vernacular Chinese soon came to be became viewed as mainstream by most people. | | | Unlike Vernacular Chinese, these written forms have not been standardized and are used in informal contexts only. |

| | 20th WCP: The Structure of Chinese Language and Ontological Insights: A Collective-Noun Hypothesis* |
| | For one thing, as discussed in the last section, collective nouns in classical Chinese can be directly preceded by numerals or indefinite quantifiers. | | | One tendency regarding the relation between linguistic expressions and their referents seems to be common both in the Chinese semantic tradition and in the Western semantic tradition (at least during their respective classical periods): almost all words were treated as names, and naming was regarded as the main semantic relation. | | | Although the function of Chinese nouns examined so far appears to be compatible with both patterns, and although Chinese nouns in both patterns denote mereological wholes, the semantics and implicit ontologies in the two cases are significantly different. |

| | Translation of Numerals Between English and Chinese |
| | Numerals express precise quantities and are supposed to be precise in nature, as we Chinese often express absolute certainty by saying “ One is one and two is two.” However, in their actual use in discourse, they are often associated with the feature of fuzziness.*(Fuzziness means the quality of being indistinct, blurry or foggy. | | | Japanese language was heavily influenced by Chinese, so Japanese numerals for small numbers are identical to Chinese numerals except the difference in pronunciations. | | | Bao Huinan: Fuzziness of Chinese numerals and translation[J] Journal of Liaoning Normal University. |
