Me too, but if they keeps their current one ^^. If my understanding is of chinese writing is correct, then you could put any pronunciation on their characters.

Me too, but if they keeps their current one ^^. If my understanding is of chinese writing is correct, then you could put any pronunciation on their characters. So we could have a universal writing system. If french, english and russian all mapped their words to chinese symbols, then we could all communicate through writing while keeping our languages. In practice it's obviously not this easy since we have different grammars, but I think the basic principle holds and we'd all be able to somewhat read each other. Numbers are a great example of that. We all have our own words for numbers, but can all communicate it with its associated symbols (which are different in arabic script for instance, though everyone's agreed on european script). Mathematics is full of those symbols we communicate with regardless of their pronunciation in different languages, e.g. the 'for all' and 'there exist' symbols for instance, but also the equal sign and the integral, set notation etc etc. They're all concept, ideas, and have associated symbols. So why wouldn't we all use chinese 'synbols' for our 'everyday' vocabulary when we write. It's be harder to learn to read 1 language, but so much easier to learn to read all of them. When we communicate in western languages an idea I from person A to person B; then when A translate I into a translation t in a language l that both A and B understand. then B translates back t into I'. It's actually pretty hard to get I' to equal I. Where as with chinese characters, my understanding is their characters are closer to the ideas themselves. Potentially making it easier to communicate between each other across multiple languages.
