Dear all:
I would like to request a new Wikipedia for classical Chinese or kanbun(
漢文/文言文) which is the standard form of Chinese for about two thousand
years and was used throughout East Asia as the formal form of writing. Its
importance in East Asia is like that of Latin in Europe. Now that
Wikipedias are running or being started for many of the languages in East
Asia, it seems that the language which is the backbone of these languages
should also have a place.
One problem that might be encountered in writing articles for kanbun
wikipedia is how the foreign loanwords (e.g. from English) should be
phonetically transcribed when there is no corresponding word in kanbun
itself. If they are transcribed using kanji (Chinese characters), there is
the question of which language should be used to read the kanji. Here I
suggest using an alphabet system of East Asia (e.g. Japanese kana or Korean
hangul, or Taiwanese chu-yin) for the transcription and also note the
original word in English (or any other language of origin or the roman
transcription if the language is not written in roman alphabet). This
allows kanbun users speaking different languages to know the original
foreign word.

Problem is use when of does the classical Chinese write? Ming and Qing? Is
Tang Sung period? Or does QIN2 HAN4 is period? Or to is more early? Each
period classical Chinese differ very greatly.The Manchu Dynasty and Han
dynasty rise of test twice according to the custom of the ancient works, be
for can let the then person comprehend the people of the past's work of
classical Chinese.The ancients is still not apprehensibility more early the
classical Chinese of the ancients, so which period classical Chinese we use to
write worthwhile discussion.If use the MIng and Qing period classical Chinese
writing, that is much more simple, plus some 之乎者也, delete 的了呢.( this and
Chinese version difference not big)If use first Qin's classical Chinese
write, having no several individuals perhaps can write.
