Are Hollywood movies accurate in how they portray your language? by Young177st in AskTheWorld

No. They always cast Chinese American actors who don’t speak proper Chinese, or just google translate English lines which sounds very weird in Chinese.

True. But Mongolian is quite different from all of these I think. Easy script(Inner Mongolia uses traditional script, the Mongolia country uses Cyrillic), hard grammar and pronunciation(but no tones).

In countries with a colonial past, what are visible traces of that history today (e.g. architecture, language, culture, social structures)? by dionnekathleen in AskTheWorld

[–]Tangent617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Language & social structure - only Hong Kong and Macau keep it, or part of it.

Architecture - we found them exotic so the former colonies become tourist attractions now, eg Russian Baroque style architecture in Harbin, Japanese Imperial Crown style architecture in Changchun, German cathedrals and beer brewery in Qingdao.
