ISO and United Nations adoption don't qualify Pinyin as an international standard?
Using Taiwan as an example isn't really relevant given that it's majority Cantonese speaking, and Cantonese is a completely different spoken language than Mandarin.
Edit: I'm a clown. I was confusing traditional Chinese with Cantonese. Not the same thing.
- dnautics 10y agoAre you sure Taiwan is mostly cantonese?
- lstyls 10y agoYou're right it's not. I was confusing it with traditional vs simplified Chinese. Thanks for the correction.
- gommm 10y agoHong Kong is majority Cantonese speaking. Taiwan is not, it's Mandarin (and to a lesser extent Hokkien and Hakka but most young people prefer to speak Mandarin).
- lstyls 10y agoYou're right, edited my original comment to correct. Thanks.
