    I don't dare to say it for the longest time, but probably apes had languages when they became humans, and as for when they began to speak Chinese, leave it to anthropologists. The most refined, it can be said that among the widely spoken languages in the world, Chinese is relatively refined. Words that are both short and precise are the concise language you speak.

    Among the six languages used in the production of documents by the United Nations, Chinese is the shortest text. Therefore, the Chinese language conforms to the element of brevity in both text length and pronunciation.

    Chinese is a highly intelligent language, as long as you know 2,000 Chinese characters. 2000 Chinese characters can be combined into words, and all newspaper articles are no problem to communicate. In the English-speaking world, you don't have 20,000 words, you can't read a newspaper.

    That's a million words! And it's growing every day! Other than that.

    There is a lot of professional English in English. 20,000 words to read professional, such as medical articles, is not incomprehensible at all, and the same is true for British and Americans. As long as you understand 2000+ Chinese characters, you can carry out cross-field, cross-professional, cross-border and cross-ethnic communication, and only Chinese characters in the world can have this great function!

    Advocating that the Chinese language is difficult is actually an ulterior motive! Chinese, daily application of 3,000 Chinese characters barrier-free reading,; English, 26 letters seem to be easy to learn, words, grammar trouble is suffocating! Chinese 1,000 Chinese characters can read 95 percent of the text, and 3,000 Chinese characters can read 99 percent of the text.

    Only 60,000 words in English can read 95% of the text, and 230,000 words can read 99% of the text! How many of the 230,000 Anglo-Americans are there? In terms of daily application, Chinese is much easier to learn than English!

    As long as you don't have to be stupid, you can figure it out! That should be eliminated?

    Personally, I don't think Chinese is the most difficult language in the world to learn, maybe because I grew up in Greater China, I think Chinese is still very simple. Although there are many meanings sometimes, this is also the reason why Chinese culture is broad and profound. Personally, I find it difficult for me to take a foreign language, either one.

    Speaking English alone, all kinds of grammar can make me confused, but in the end, I still can't, if I want to speak Korean, the words written in writing, it looks the same, and I feel dizzy when I look at it, and there is no way to continue learning. Therefore, for individuals only, it is easier to speak Chinese.

    Chinese is one of the oldest languages in the world. During the Qin and Han dynasties, Chinese characters formed a unified writing standard. Most government schools, academies, and private schools use Chinese, as do the imperial examinations.

    Emperor Wen of Wei reformed the Chinese language as a "positive sound". After the Qing Dynasty established its rule over the whole country, it soon adopted Chinese as its official language. The languages of neighboring countries such as Japan are also influenced by Chinese.

    The four oldest writing systems in the world are: the cuneiform script of the Sumerians, the sacred script (hieroglyphs) of ancient Egypt, the Chinese characters of China, and the Mayan script.

    The difficulty of learning Chinese is reflected in the written language. Chinese is an ideogram, and the text has nothing to do with pronunciation, which makes Westerners who are accustomed to pinyin characters a headache, because their languages are all pinyin characters, and when they see words, even if they are new words that they have not seen, they can read them. And Chinese can't do this, don't say foreigners, we Chinese can't read new words when they see them.

    Foreigners have to spend a lot of time memorizing the pronunciation of Chinese characters. And the pronunciation of Western languages does not need to be memorized, it doesn't matter if you don't remember it, you will see it.

    Chinese is a language that does not rely on grammar. Unlike Western languages, Chinese has no lexicography. Real words in Western languages all have conjugations, such as nouns in the plural, verbs in the personal or tense or conjugation.

    Adjectives become comparative, etc. Chinese characters do not have these variations, so they do not rely on morphological changes to express various meanings. For example, in Chinese, I understand, looking at the text alone, we don't know whether the person speaking is male or female.

    But if you say it in Russian, you know the gender of the speaker, man, woman, by adding a letter to the end of the word, the gender of the speaker is expressed. This is also very unaccustomed to Westerners.

    The oldest written language in the world is Sumerian, but it became a dead language before 2 BC, but it has been used as a religious language until after BC, and it has been written for more than 3,000 years, which is similar to Chinese. But now it is completely extinct. The same is true of Akkadian, which was written 1,000 years later than Sumerian, in a script that also became extinct after BC.

    It is said that Chinese is the most unique and difficult language in the world to learn. This may be true. First of all, Chinese is a pictograph, ideogram.

    For example, the word "sharp" has a "small" character in the upper part and a "large" character in the lower part, which means: sharp end or small part: sharp.

    Tick (speak harshly). Sour. Beat. End.

    Chinese is the language of freehand, and Western language is the language of realism. It is said above that the Chinese language does not rely on grammar, which means that the Chinese language mainly expresses what it wants to say through the meaning of the words themselves. This may make the meaning of certain sentences ambiguous.

    What kind of language you use will have what kind of thinking. The Han Chinese are the most intelligent group of people in the world, thanks to the semantic uncertainty of the Chinese language. For example:

    Anyone in the Chinese table tennis team can win, and anyone in the Chinese football team can win", a pause in one sentence caused two semantics. This is incomprehensible to those low-IQ languages.

    Chinese is the language of nature, the combination of certain words and uncertain sounds, and the correct standard pronunciation is reducing the value of Chinese and lowering the IQ of Chinese! Therefore, the role of tongues should not be underestimated.

    There are many ambiguities and imprecisions in the Chinese language.

    Chinese is indeed the most profound language in the world.

    Foreigners feel particularly wonderful. For example, the words east and west represent the direction. But when the two words are put together, it becomes food, it is food, how can they not understand it?

    And we Chinese will understand it very well at all times.

    Therefore, Chinese is the most difficult to learn and the most difficult to understand.

    There is also the kind of talking and singing in songs, and the kind of poetry in folk songs, which can only be experienced and imagined, and it is indeed difficult to describe.

    Agree with you and thumbs it up with both hands.

    First of all, historically speaking, the earliest Chinese character oracle bone inscription appeared in the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. And now some bachelors with research can still interpret it. In the Qin Dynasty, in 221 B.C., Qin Shi Huang unified the small seal after the writing, Lishu, interested or have a certain degree of knowledge, everyone can know a lot.

    And when it came to the regular script of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was recognizable to everyone. Although the Egyptian script is more than 2,000 years ahead of us, no one can now decipher the ancient Egyptian script. Then there is the English language, which is now widely popular, and the works of Savon 300 years ago are incomprehensible to ordinary undergraduates.

    This first shows the vitality of Chinese and its great development prospects.

    Kanji is by far the main script that has been in continuous use for the longest time.

    1. It is also the only script that has been passed down to the present day in the major writing systems of ancient times, and some scholars believe that Chinese characters are one of the key elements to maintain the long-term unity of the north and south of China, and some scholars list Chinese characters as the fifth greatest invention in China.

    2. Japanese, Korean and other languages and scripts of China's neighboring countries are borrowed and evolved from Chinese and Chinese characters. Historically, Vietnam, Korea, and Japan have all recorded their languages in Chinese characters. The Japanese still use a mixture of kanji and kana.

    The Japanese used kanji, and another major invention was to write Chinese characters and read Japanese words.

    3. The high efficiency of Chinese characters is reflected in hundreds of basic pictographs, which can be synthesized into tens of thousands of Chinese characters representing various things in heaven and earth; Thousands of commonly used words can be easily combined to create hundreds of thousands of words.

    4. Chinese characters are also one of the most beautiful characters. How beautiful is it? It has become an art – the art of calligraphy. The art of calligraphy is unmatched by any other script. The following ancient calligraphy works have become priceless treasures.

    5. The ideographic nature of Chinese characters makes Chinese characters the most informative text per unit character in the world, so they are easy to recognize and are conducive to association, which also brings great convenience to speed up reading. **United Nations documents, the same content, Chinese documents are always the thinnest, even half thinner.

    Chinese characters are like tree diagrams, for example, "Han" has Chinese characters Chinese Chinese and Chinese everyone knows that mind maps are also tree diagrams.

    Our habit of thinking is not like a foreigner who comes up with a few fixed Latin words from a mess of words, and from the point of view of expression, we are faster, clearer, and more concise.

    But aside, this also leads to the fixation of our thinking, not like foreigners who dare to innovate, but the advantage is that we learn quickly, and we can learn as soon as he innovates.

    It is precisely because of the flexibility of the Chinese language that the Chinese people have created a lot of nonsense, there is no pragmatic spirit, I have seen since I was a child that dumb people are smarter than people who can talk, why?? It's better to say it than to do it!
