actually even the english way is quite cumbersome
languages like sanskrit and chinese which have built in word generators and preserved root meanings are much better and able to stand independently
not surprisingly indians and chinese have been better able to resist westernization
imo chinese is a very tech friendly language and has a good shot at becoming the lingua franca of tech in the near future
currently the chinese focus on science and innovation is fake and forced but could turn real in the next generation
- dredmorbius 8y agoThe handicap for Chinese and Asian languages is charactersets and input. A finite phonetic alphabet is a tremendous technical advantage when keyboarding, and alternatives really haven't proved superior. (I'm entering this via soft-keyboard and stylus, painfully, with many typos. The fact that the interface could be trivially modified, but hasn't and isn't, and yet remains so deficient, doesn't speak well to prospects here.)
- dzhshnacct 8y agohey thats one of the things i've worked on see my first submission a few days ago on zh android ime with devanagari with zhuyin and alternatives chinese input is not a problem and this is going to even be less of a problem with voice input in future in fact the input problem only tightened the link chinese have to tech via their phones but pinyin needs to go away or chinese will lose their culture in the long term latinization is going to lead to christianization
