Aaaaaah "Chinese".

A language family with many mutually unintelligible languages, large variantions in vocabulary and a script that us shared by all of them. And somehow we have to keep treating it as one language, so Winnie the Pooh isnt angry at us.

Yeah. It's not like I can communicate with someone in Cantonese when they only know Mandarin.

If the same script is considered Chinese, might as well put Japanese Kanji inside.

I can't even understand most Cantonese speakers when they're speaking Mandarin...

Well I can't even understand my Mandarin when I speak it
