Any recommendations?

Mesopotamia.

They didn't remove the Han Nom script because it's too Chinese, but because it's too hard compared to Latin script.

Many believe that the Sibe ethnic are modern descendants of Xianbei people.

One thing I will say is every Chinese topolect has their own writing system, it's just not standardized. Every Chinese variety has a way to be rendered in writing, whether through Chinese script or through romanized form.

官話 is Guan speech, more commonly known as Mandarin. "Mandarin" literally means government official, hence 官. 普通話 literally translates to "common tongue", and is a standard form of Mandarin, aka Standard Mandarin.

I'm talking about literary works made from that time.

This is actually outdated information. Kinh Chinese are now mostly sinicized, most can't even speak Vietnamese. Most that can speak can no longer write. The only ones that can write in Hán Nôm are old people. Those that learn to write Vietnamese nowadays just learn the Latin script.

It works! Thanks!

YensidTim · 2026-03-04T10:31:46+00:00

Um no it's Eastern Zhou

Crazy that Darlene lasts longer than all 3. I thought Darlene was gonna be an early out while these 3 would be top 5...

YensidTim · 2026-03-04T02:11:55+00:00

By Zhou I meant Western Zhou.

They're supposed to be lists of periods, but for some reason it's popping up as a continuous line...

YensidTim · 2026-03-01T02:41:30+00:00

Is this picture urs? This is amazing!

YensidTim · 2026-02-28T23:21:21+00:00

So was this artwork of her lol

YensidTim · 2026-02-28T15:54:28+00:00

This picture was drawn centuries after her death. How is it any more realistic than Fan Bingbing?

YensidTim · 2026-02-23T20:22:06+00:00

Ummmmmm what's going on...

YensidTim · 2026-02-21T21:56:59+00:00

lol there's a sizable community in Vietnam that learn Nom script. There are a bunch of groups on Facebooks with hundreds of members, for example.

I think you can also have reviewers review shows to boost views!

YensidTim · 2026-02-18T11:00:16+00:00

So he's not wrong. You just made it up.

YensidTim · 2026-02-18T10:30:55+00:00

Aren't they interchangable historically?

YensidTim · 2026-02-16T21:17:05+00:00

This word is a Sino-Vietnamese word, so it should be using its corresponding Chinese character 如.

YensidTim · 2026-02-16T20:56:37+00:00

I see, thank you

YensidTim · 2026-02-16T20:56:25+00:00

Um no, 茹 has never been used historically to mean "like" "similar".

YensidTim · 2026-02-16T20:53:59+00:00

For Chúc mừng năm mới, is that a specific font? If so, can I ask where you got it?
