So, Mr Formulax, now do you claim to speak for these
Singaporeans and
Hong Kongers? I find this extremely insulting.
Baihua itself is a transcription of modern Mandarin,
which not long
ago was considered by people like Sheng Jiong to not be worth writing
down to use Wenyan instead.
I do not particularly care one way or the other about the introduction
of Cantonese and other Chinese-language Wikipedias. It would, however,
gladden my heart if fewer comments were made about the persons
discussing the issue and more about the facts under discussion.
Thanks everybody
