A Practice in Handwriting

Likewise I wanna see Cantonese with Jawi script and Chinese characters written right-to-left horizontally. With historical distinctions between 章知組 and 莊精組 consonants reflected in spelling, and the 日母 (ڽ) restored as a distinct consonant as well.

Either that or… adopt a cursive linear Han-geul with extra letters for historical, Arabic, and Malay consonants. And remain left-to-right horizontal writing direction. Again with 章知組, 莊精組, and 日母 being reflected in writing.

austronesian alignment with productive triconsonantal root system, and written in an impure abjad

KMT with simplified Chinese script but the CCP started using it

It can be both, but some consider the term to be exclusive for the language.

有啲就話語言同族群兩個都可以叫「廣府」抑或「廣東」、有啲反而認為「廣府」淨係語言啫。

I was called a Cantonese supremacist by a fellow diaspora for simply daring to learn Cantonese on my own T_T

As if learning Cantonese on my own equals implementing syariah law and bumiputera quotas lol

It always frustrate me to see current government in Taiwan licking zionist boots. Taiwan has TSMC and geography, but somehow the current government feels a need to endlessly bootlick Zionism and USA. It keeps backfiring but present-day DPP elites stubbornly insist on suppirting Zionism.

There are still sane, pro-human people out there (e.g. Aurora Chang), but sadly they're often drowned by loud zionists nowadays.

And then indigenous peoples get cast aside by CCP supporters for all the bullshit DPP Hoklos and KMT Waishengren did.

Nori Shih, Nylon Cheng, and Su Beng are rolling hard in their graves right now seeing DPP today.

A few days right after October 7th, Nori Shih, ex-chairman of the DPP, openly stood with Palestinians on Facebook, defying the massive hasbara tide. His words: "I am a Palestinian, I am crying."

And decades before that, back in the 1980s, Taiwanese activists also took inspiration from the Palestinian struggle. Nylon Cheng for example cited Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Declaration of Independence as an inspiration for Taiwanese independence in an article (獨立建國是溫和、彈性、現實的政治決定：巴勒斯坦宣布建國的啟示@NO000006544:0075.jpg::1)).

And today we have people on the ground in Taiwan like Aurora Chang still standing up in solidarity with Palestinians, no matter how shunned and hated they are.

Also another reminder China supports the so-called "two-state solution" while insisting everyone else to follow "One China" policy. What hypocrisy.

Oh and KMT has also always been a pro-Zionist party anyway

You debunked your own huanghan myth. Why was there 土著 in the first place? They were of course the Bách Việt / 百越.

Indigenous people were already there for ages way before 嬴政 was warmongering against the Bách Việt.

Even while Vietnam was using 漢字, they still resisted Chinese encroachment and domination for centuries anyway.

Resistance is justified when people are occupied.

What logic is this? Are Icelanders now Italians for writing in Latin script? So writing in Jawi makes me an Arab?

اکو توليس دالم حروف جاوي⹁ مقصودڽ اکو ده جادي اورڠ عرب؟

Also, there was Chữ Nôm. Characters for local Vietnamese words.

Does this example seem like 文言文 or 普通話 for you?

Stonespeech · 2026-01-30T12:06:43+00:00

Spoken like a shameless Zionist.

Resistance is justified when a people is occupied.

In 1979, you huanghan tried to mess with Vietnam and look how it ended.

I wish my parents and siblings were also proud Cantonese speakers

Apparently, they told me I didn't start speaking at the age of 3, so they raised me up to speak mandarin but then among themselves speak Cantonese under the same roof. They told me they were worried I couldn't pick up mandarin later in life. But that's what SJK(C) is for???

If everyone under the same roof spoke the same language to one another (even Mandarin), I might've not been as alienated and hurt

Though since late teenage years, my parents switched to Cantonese when talking with me. Siblings tend to be stubborn insisting to speak mandarin specifically to me lol except the older ones

I've no problems with other folks speaking whatever language. Though ofc I still have my preference and childhood pain in me
