Chinese is the slowest language, isn t it??

How to say it, if it refers to Mandarin, then the speed of speech is very slow, and the Mandarin we speak now is the original Beijing dialect. And there are many dialects in China, such as Cantonese, Wu language, which is much faster than Mandarin, and the dialect I speak is mixed with a little Wu language, and I feel that we speak much faster than Mandarin.

Well, analyze it carefully, like the pronunciation of Chinese characters has set the speed of speech to death, like the pinyin "ch u ang" of "bed", which is composed of three parts, so whether the word "bed" is followed by initials or finals, it is not fast to read, and it is not clear to read it quickly, and others cannot hear it clearly. If you take the "bed" apart and read "Eat Woo Ang," you will find that the reading is very smooth, and you can read it quickly and without being embarrassed.

In many other languages, consonant vowels, such as English, are made up of a syllable per sound, so many of them can be pronounced together smoothly.

The Chinese language pays attention to conciseness and conciseness, and the sound that can be read smoothly and connected together is abbreviated into a pronunciation. So why is the Chinese language slow.

There is no doubt that Chinese is an ancient and excellent language. Any language has its advantages and disadvantages, one of the advantages of Chinese is that it is concise and concise, the same sentence, English and Japanese have to be long-winded for a long time, and Chinese can be said clearly in just three words; One of the drawbacks? It's just that the speed of speech is too slow (under normal circumstances, it is not advisable to speak too fast), and it seems to be slower than most languages, which is considered a disadvantage.

I have observed the press conference of the *** Information Office, a paragraph in English like a river for a long time, translated into Chinese just a few sentences, but on the surface, I feel that I have spoken a lot in English, the speed of speech is also fast, and the witty words are like beads, which seems to be very scene, what about Chinese? Although there is no problem with the expression of the meaning, but talk about stopping, stopping and talking, slowly and leisurely, it seems that the whole person is half a beat slower. Of course, a certain feature of a language cannot summarize the whole of the language, nor can it be used to evaluate a person, but if you swallow slowly with one mouth, foreign friends who don't know what they know will think:

Why are you so slow, can't you? Haha, I can't help but say it's a pity.

Chinese culture pays attention to calmness and unhurriedness, and Mount Tai collapses in front of it without moving, so the slow speed of speech shows grace and luxury.

If you pay attention to the English aristocracy, the speed of speech is also slow, and the pronunciation is very clear and standard, and people with low English skills can understand it clearly.

You can watch old movies such as Roman Holiday and Gone with the Wind, as well as modern films such as Iron Lady and the Empress, in which these people speak English very well.

In fact, many languages in the world are composed of pinyin, but they don't have syllables, so they tend to be pronounced more casually and quickly, but in this way, the pronunciation of sentences is very similar, such as Korean.

I think English is slower than Chinese.

This is easy to understand, and the general reasons can be explained in the following ways.

1.Chinese is the only oldest still in use in the world, thousands of years of culture are condensed in words, the charm of the Chinese language does not need to be explained, you know, the more esoteric the text, of course, the more difficult to understand.

2.Chinese is the only ideogram still in use in the world, which means that a character expresses meaning, not pronunciation, and other characters in the world are phonetic. For example, the English computer expresses this pronunciation, and if the computer is another pronunciation, then it will not be written like this!

It is because Chinese characters are ideograms that we can read poems from thousands of years ago, because we need the meaning of the poem, not the pronunciation. But Americans may be able to read English poetry 200 years ago at the level of a professor! It is because Chinese characters are ideograms, and such a complex and completely different dialect in China has a common writing system - Chinese characters!

3.Chinese characters are indeed difficult to recognize and write, which Chinese admit, we must have learned a lot of mistakes in elementary school! Not to mention foreigners.

Chinese characters are square characters, and they are also different from the way the Latin alphabet is written, except for Koreans and Japanese, people from other countries write Chinese characters really ugly, and foreigners can never understand the order of the strokes of Chinese characters!

4.Chinese has four tones in one pronunciation, and there are very few languages with tones in the world! We have all learned English, and English can be read emotionally. But if the Chinese tone is wrong, the meaning is wrong, and foreigners are crazy about the tone!

5.Chinese is a monosyllabic language. That is, there is only one pronunciation of a word. Monosyllabic language can result in a pronunciation with many corresponding words and meanings. For example: yiyi, which can be understood as meaning, dissent, 100 million, shining, one.

1. Paraphrasing, etc., can foreigners not be confused with so many meanings?

There are many other difficult points in the Chinese language, so it's safe to say that Chinese is the hardest language in the world to learn!

In my memory, there is such a metaphor.

It takes 2 years to learn Korean, 5 years to learn English, 8 years to Japanese, 14 years to Chinese, and 70 years to ......... ArabicThat's what it means.

It must be the rarest! Classical Chinese is hard to die
