Get chinked
Mandarin is ugly sounding. It doesn't help that it's usually spoke raspy and with anger very loud
Mandarin is to Japanese as Spanish is to Portuguese
its not always spoken loudy angrily it can be nice
of course not always
Too nasally is the problem, and they can't understand you if you don't do it. Fucking tonal languages

Cantonese master race
Hong Kong best chink
scroo you honky boy
I'm going to Taiwan, so let's see how they do
So far o agree Hong Kong best chink

Who?
any of us
I live here, unfortunately
oh.
<:pepestressed:327933525124841482>
mandarin is also extremely bloated
doesn't it have like 2000 characters?
most asian languages are bloated tbh
sad.
2000? way more <:alismirk:230784726615588865>
bloaaaat
but they say 2000 is what you need to be proficient
ive heard you need 10,000 to get by living in china, 30,000 to be good and 50,000 to be a scholar but that was a couple of years ago and i could have smudged the numbers up

very bloated desu
literally no need for that many
you only need around 23 letters i reckon
However many characters the phonetic alphabet has, that's how many you need.
wrong, some letters are bloat
the english language is bloat
prove me wrong (you can't)
Chinese lacks way too many words compared to english
Even when you translate mandarin to Cantonese it reminds me of child's talk
You can get away with like 500 characters to be conversant in chinese
yeah, a lot of chinese words are just compounds of the most basic words
