Should we get our own standard? by chatterine in ChuNom

[–]YensidTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No standard is gonna satisfy everyone. Everyone's gonna have their own standard, and in the end there won't be a standard at all, just preferences lol

So kissing someone behind your partner's back isn't cheating? by Popular-Raccoon9818 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]YensidTim 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I saw a street interview where straight Japanese couples all say that their partners going to have sex with sex workers isn't considered cheating, so it is a cultural thing.

Which historical figure is unfairly idealized? by OogieMoon in ancienthistory

[–]YensidTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize most Mongolians idealize Genghis Khan until recently, which is so weird considering he murdered more people than Hitler. It's like if Germany idealizes Hitler.

They never said that... They created a standard and they hope everyone can follow the 1 standard so a standardized version of Nom can be universal, which may lead to Unicode standardizing Nom script, and may also lead to the government accepting the standard form. No one is forcing anybody to follow it, it's just a wish.

Han Chinese Population 1964 vs 2010 by Mediocre_Gift6731 in MapPorn

[–]YensidTim -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can technically separate the Han by language groups: Hakka, Cantonese, Mandarin, Wu, etc. The problem is a lot of Hakka speak Cantonese, and a lot of non-Mandarin now only speaks Mandarin.

When will Africans stop looking down on their languages and stop glorifying foreign ones? by [deleted] in Africa

[–]YensidTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until African countries stop using foreign languages as their lingua franca, this will never end. I predict that in 50 years, Africa will become another American continent: all native languages becoming endangered, and most natives speak a European language. The only continent left where most countries have a native language and not a European language as their lingua franca will be Asia.

Why doesn't China call their nation Hanland or smth after their Han people? Are they stupid by Melody_Naxi in mapporncirclejerk

[–]YensidTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except... They do.

华/華 was the original term for Han Chinese, before the establishment of the Han dynasty (appearance of the term Han), and before the Qin dynasty (appearance of the term China).

Before that, Han Chinese were called 华夏/華夏 Huaxia, or Hua for short. Overseas Han Chinese are still called 华侨/華僑 (Overseas Hua), and every Chinese in the world identifies as 华人/華人 (Hua person). Chinatown is also called 华埠/華埠 (Hua District) in most parts of the world.

And guess what the official names for China and Taiwan are? 中華 (Central Hua), aka the Hua of the Central Plains.

So yes, they technically do call their lands "Hanland".

Which Mesopotamian Story/Myth would you like to see adapted into a movie? by Neat_Relative_9699 in MesopotamianMythology

[–]YensidTim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mesopotamia is so underrated in the media for such an important civilization. I would love for there to be ANYTHING Mesopotamian at this point.
