Chapter 1162: Is a country still language-sufficient?

Xiao Peng compares his to him: "You know what a fart, but who would come out if you don’t know a few foreign languages ​​these days? Many ethnic groups in our country use multiple languages! The Yi people speak Yi, Bugeng, and Moang. The Gaoshan people can speak Ami, Paiwan, Taiyel, etc."
Yang Meng blinked, "What's the matter with the Korean language family? What is the most evil one?"
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "All linguists in the world have headaches when they encounter Korean. There are 141 different language families on this earth, and the seven major language families occupy most of the population in this world, but this Korean language But there is no way to classify it. Most scholars like Plastic Surgery Country and North Country do not say that their language belongs to the Altaic language family, but there are almost no homologous vocabulary between Korean and other languages ​​of the Altaic language family; some people say that they belong to the Indo-European language family. The Dharavi Tea language family, and it is said that a new language family was formed together with the Japanese language. Anyway, they have everything. But this is mainly the statement of the linguists in their own country. And the linguistics outside their country Everyone says they are isolated languages ​​and have nothing to do with any known language family in the world."
Yang Meng later became interested: "These two people speak evil enough. They didn't come from the plastic surgery country, right? Hey, listen to me...'The front wheel is one meter large, and the back wheel is two. The rice is big, the back wheel is one meter bigger than the front wheel!', can you understand?"
Xiao Peng smiled and slapped Yang Meng, "Don't play any tricks, they are not from the plastic surgery country. There is no ‘Smecta’ in their words!"
"Then where are they?" Yang scratched his head fiercely.
Xiao Peng had an idea: "The words! The words are different, the words should be the same, right?"
He found paper and pen, and wrote on the paper: "Where are you from?"
The two fishermen looked at each other. One of them picked up a pen and paper and wrote a traditional Chinese character: "We are from Chenggong Fishing Port." The other took out an identity card from the clothes, which looked like Huaxia’s ID card. The number is exactly the same. The number is also eighteen, but there is a slight difference. The number above starts with 83. Xiao Peng took a closer look, hey, it turned out to be a residence permit for Taiwan Island residents! If Taiwanese compatriots apply for this permit, the Taiwanese compatriots will basically have the same treatment as in China. They can also apply for insurance, housing provident fund, compulsory education, etc.
Is that right? He said that there are still dart fish on the island of Taiwan. The feelings came from over there.
Yang Meng stretched his neck and asked curiously, "Where are they from?"
Xiao Peng replied: "It's the Hakka people on the treasure island."
Georgina heard Xiao Peng's words and hurriedly asked, "Hakka? Is it a minority in your country?"
Xiao Peng shook his head, "Uh, that's not it, but the Han nationality like us."
Georgina was confused: "Aren't you a nation? Why do you still speak different languages?"
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and explained: "Our Han is too big. If we subdivide it, there are 16 ethnic groups, of which eight are big people and eight are small people. The Hakka is one of them. The language spoken by the Guang Han. It includes Mandarin, Wu dialect, Cantonese, Min dialect, Jin dialect, Xiang dialect, Hakka dialect, Gan dialect, Hui dialect, Pinghua, etc. It is very troublesome. In China, such as Jiangxi, Hunan, Wenzhou and other places, they are all' There is no tune for three miles, but different sounds for ten miles’. Even in Hakka, there are differences due to different soils and waters. They are divided into northern and southern films, while southern films, Guangdong-Taiwan films, Yuezhong films, Chaozhang films, and northern Guangdong films; For Ninglong, Yugui, Tonggu, and Tingzhou films, do you think our country’s language system is troublesome?"
Georgina opened her mouth wide for a long time before replying: "This is too troublesome, Xiao, you know this so well, can you speak Hakka?"
Xiao Peng's head shook like a rattle: "How is it possible? Our country selected the'China's most difficult dialect' and Hakka dialect ranked first! This Hakka language is China's oldest language, like the Mandarin we speak now, from the Qing Dynasty It was promoted in the second year of Yongzheng, and the Hakka dialect has a history of thousands of years! In the past, the Hakka people had strict ancestral precepts. People who do not marry with foreign races and do not speak Hakka are not recognized as Hakka, even Hakka. People’s direct descendants can’t speak Hakka! That’s how their ancestors have preserved Hakka to this day. But now there are fewer and fewer people who speak Hakka, and people begin to use Mandarin widely. Many of the younger generations of Hakka have I don’t know how to speak Hakka."
Georgina nodded and said, "The language of your country is really horrible."
Xiao Peng did not deny this point: "You are right. Back then, the writer Lu Xun, who was hailed as the'soul of the nation' in our country, said:'Chinese characters are immortal and Chinese must perish.' He said that there are two meanings. First, It’s the trouble to write Chinese characters. How many people could go to school because they couldn’t have enough food at that time? So many were illiterate. Another reason was that there were too many Chinese languages, and the communication between oneself and oneself was not smooth. Although many people now criticize him for this statement, But this depends on the age, and Mr. Lu Xun is actually quite right to say this under the background of that era."
Yang Meng took the piece of paper and looked at the traditional characters on it: "Look and see, the Taiwanese compatriots write traditional characters, is this authentic! Look at us, we have already started to write simplified characters!"
Xiao Peng slapped Yang Meng's head directly: "Fart! This was the first to promote the use of simplified characters in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, a group of illiterate revolutionaries, in order to increase the literacy rate, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to use simplified characters. In the true sense, the national government started the Chinese character simplification movement at that time! It’s just that the national government was too bad at that time. It’s okay to shout slogans every day, but it’s impossible to do practical things. So it didn’t succeed in the promotion. Now if they say they are on the treasure island. It's the "Hua Xia Zhengzong" that can only reflect the incompetence of the Republican government.
"Furthermore, do you know how much this simplified character has helped our country? Let's suppose that if we are still learning traditional characters, like Kong Yiji's "Funny" has four ways of writing? Then optical recognition is enough for us to worry Yes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, our country promoted simplified Chinese characters, which greatly reduced the difficulty of learning Chinese characters, and this was able to reduce illiteracy on a large scale! Now, the places where traditional characters are written in our country are left over from history, but we must speak traditional Chinese. Do you have a sense of superiority? Please. A little bit out of your head?"
"Medium!" Yang Meng said with a smile: "Speak as you speak. Why did your Henan accent pop out of your anxiety?"
Georgina didn't know what they were talking about, but she was still curious: "Xiao, does your country have a unified language?"
Xiao Peng said: "Of course we have, Mandarin. If we have a unified language, how can our country develop so well? Actually, our country is very similar to Indo Three, and it is also a multi-ethnic and multilingual country, but we are too strong than the Indo Three. too much."
"Why do you say that?" Georgina was puzzled.
Xiao Peng explained: "India is more troublesome than ours. They have more ethnic groups and more languages. According to statistics, there are 1,652 languages ​​and dialects in India! There are 33 languages ​​with more than one million speakers alone. , So today there is no unified language in Indo-San. The official language of their constitution includes English, a total of nineteen! If you want to learn their language, it’s even more terrible! And the most annoying they want It’s not possible to unify the language. Just like last year, the Indian, 3rd and West Bengal state required local schools to compel students under the tenth grade to learn Bengali. As a result, the local Gurkhas directly rioted-why did you let me learn Bengali? Language? To be honest, if Yin San can really solve the caste and language problems, their country's development may not be much worse than China, but they can't do it."
Georgina pointed to the two and said: "No, you say that you have a unified language, but why don't they understand it?"
Xiao Peng sighed and said: "Places like Taiwan Island, Hong Kong Island, and Macau have some historical problems. So the popularization of Mandarin is a bit slow. Alas, don't talk about them. Even here, there are many elderly people who are older. Nor can they speak Mandarin."
Pan Peiyu came over: "What do they do?"
Yang Meng answered the question: "What else can I do? The old rules, the ship stays and the people send to the police station!"
When Pan Peiyu heard this, he said: "I'm going to the town to pick up my sister. I will send them over."
Xiao Peng stopped him: "Don't tell me! Let's ask clearly what is going on? How can people from Taidao come to us? It will take at least three or four days from Chenggong Fishing Port to us, right? They run Are you here for the dart fish? Don’t you think it’s weird?"
This successful fishing port came from Zheng Chenggong, the famous general of the year, and was named in memory of his taking over Taiwan Island from the Dutch. Located in Taitung Island, Taitung County is the largest fishing port in the eastern part of Taiwan Island, directly facing the Pacific Ocean. It is actually very similar to the current Sidao Town, and it is also famous for its fresh seafood and whale watching activities.
There have also been fish stealers from Taidao to here, but they are all relatively large ships. What is a dart fishing boat doing here? Run so far to dart a fish back? Not enough gas money!
Yang Meng pointed at them: "But we don't understand what they say? Where do we find a Hakka translator?"
Xiao Peng scratched his head, this was really a big problem.
Pan Peiyu looked at the crowd: "I have a way."
Everyone looked at Pan Peiyu, and Pan Peiyu said, "Lin Jiawen should speak Hakka, right? Even if he can't say that he doesn't speak Hakka?"
Xiao Peng slapped his forehead, why did he forget him? Lin Jiawen is the agent of Sihai Fishery in Taiwan Island. He gave the big Kunshan rockery in his yard. He is a native of Taiwan, so there must be a way for him to help!
Thinking of this, Xiao Peng directly dialed Lin Jiawen and asked him to translate after a few polite sentences, so that he understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It was really right to call Lin Jiawen, because it had something to do with him.
