Maurice, this is what you meant but the way you wrote it was not especially clear on that point: >>> To:Jay Chen who wrote (35554) From: Maurice Winn Tuesday, Jul 1, 2003 3:49 AM View Replies (3) \| Respond to of 35635 Jay, this shows that English is more efficient as a language. < Mandarin speakers use more areas of their brains than people who speak English, scientists said on Monday, in a finding that provides new insight into how the brain processes language.> People using Mandarin have to run their brains flat out to figure out what the heck is going on. That means that Mandarin is a dying language. The Japanese ditched it centuries ago in favour of hiragana [a phonetic language] and katakana [to handle foreign words]. <<< certainly the word language can be understood to be both spoken and written but I suppose the word that threw me off here was the added "phonetic", by which I took it that you meant "spoken". By the way, even in spoken Japanese, the Kanji is a back up that helps clear misunderstanding as people mimic writing on the palm of their hands . The absence of tones create an amazing amount of homonyms that need to be distinguished through writing... Otherwise basic spoken Japanese is really the most logical language I have encountered so far. Precise yet simple and pronunciation is easy. step1
