[quote=PINETREE ,24277]The Japanese "he fu" has been based on China's Qin Dynasty' period and has remained unchanged over the last 2000 yrs ; even their hairstyle, make-up - esp the gals'. China on the other hand has theirs changed/updated over the various dynasties.Korean -(a) Qian wan - "qian mun"(b) xue sheng - "hak sen"(c) zheng zhi - "zongji"Very similar in pronouonciation to Min Nan hua !! I am able to relate some of the Japanese/Korean pronunciation to southern Chinese dialect. And Japanese understand our Chinese writing.Incidentally, the manner that Hainanese speaks is quite similar to that of the Vietnamese (I don't undertand Vietnamese at all) ![/quote]
