2 years agoThere is no “Chinese“. Mostly a “Chinese” means mandarin, which is spoken in and around Beyjing, when I remember it correctly. The next “Chinese” would be cantonese, which is as far away from mandarin as english to russian.
Typing problems are fun. Sachsen, saechsisch, Angelsachsen, Anglophone, Angel-Saxons, saxophone, sex.
Take “Angeln” (angling, fishing), “Türangel” (door hinge), “Engel” (Angle), “Sack” (bag or testicle) and it gets more funny.
