how many letters chinese language contain?please tell me the sourse too?

Answer 1

In actual fact, the Chinese have adopted a Western style of writing commonly know as Latinization. It replaced the style introduced by the English called Wade-Giles. Both use a standard 26 letter English alphabet. But the rules for pronunciation are quite different. An example is how the Chinese capital is spelled. In Wade-Giles it is spelled "Peking" in Latinization it is spelled "Beijing" but in both cases the correct pronunciation is exactly the same. But since Western (especially American English) pronounces "Beijing" most like the Chinese do, the government adopted the Latinization style of writing Chinese for official usage. This does not mean they stopped using characters. The character based writing is very useful for communicating throughout the area since it is based on word meanings and not on pronunciation. The Japanese and both versions of the Chinese language can read standard characters without translation. But using the English alphabet only lets Chinese Mandarin speakers read it.

Answer 2

1 or 2

Answer 3

5 or 6

Answer 4

80.000 and counting

There are total 2,235 simplified characters contained in the 'Simplified Character Table' published in 1964.
You need knowledge of about 3500 to read a newspaper but about 1000 of those make up 90% of any text.

Though there is a set of 'official' characters there are still new ones being created. Look at it as our company logo's. You would recognise two yellow arches in a red fiels on a pole by the road as sighn for a scotish restaurant. A chinese reader will have the same experience with new characters he would encounter. Most can be deciphered by an experienced reader as they are build through that familiar idiom.

Answer 5

I recognise Chinese at an low-intermediate degree, and I've been a prime tuition English trainer in America. In my opinion, Chinese would possibly not exchange English as an global language. The tones are too elaborate for almost all of non-local audio system to grasp to prime skillability, and the characters and writing procedure are, as you are saying, a lot more elaborate than an alphabetic procedure.

Answer 6

Chinese language is not written in letters, they are called characters, there are thousands to learn.

Answer 7

Uncountable, because Chinese language is not like English, where words are formed by alphabets.

Answer 8

More than 1000.

Answer 9

Unlimited

Answer 10

Wrong question...The Chinese writing is made of characters. They are basically made of pictures modified to different meanings.
