LOL, you're so dimwitted he couldn't grasp the sarcasm. Never mind that.

The adoption of a standard is not always based on merit, but power project or the ability to influence. English is the most spoken because the last two great powers were both English speaking. China is projected to be great power, hence, the importance of learning the language. It has as much to do with merit as to why India adopted English as one of it national languages.

And pls stop bragging about the numerals. One, a numeral system is not a language, you're out of point. Two, the numeral system is called Hindu-Arabic numeral, not Hindu. The Arabs not only impoverished the numerals, they were the ones who spread it to the west during Islamic golden age. Otherwise, it stays in India. Give some credit where credit is due.

Hahahaha who is bragging now? and exactly give some credit where credit is due. According to Chinese here on PDF only China and Pakistan has the ability to do great things while India does jack sh!t.

Well yeah cant blame your a Chinese on PDF and here it is always "China is strong" China hyper power. Yeah! Go China!.

Imported Latin letters unite Chinese through Mandarin, still 400 million Chinese can't speak Mandarin.

When we talking about rich Chinese culture, some Indians axx are burning with jealousy because we have the world's oldest continuous culture that it's not polluted by foreigner, unlike Indians whose civilization is given by Vedic Aryans and later Persianized due to Islamic conquest of India.

If you want to smear Chinese, you will need higher IQ. Latin was not even introduced to China until the last century or so, but Chinese have been speaking the language for thousand over years. Are you not dumb???

However, alphabet is useful for Indians who want to learn our language. Because you use alphabet to write in Hindi.

China is an acknowledge great civilization, up there with the Greeks, Romans, Egypt, Babylon, India, Maya. The Great Wall stands testament to it.

India?! What the heck!! India didn't even exist until Friday August 15, 1947.

However, Latin Pinyin is useful for Indians who want to learn our language. English is one of their national languages and you even use latin to write in Hindi.

Polluted? Do you have anything Chinese except for Chinese food and Chinese signboards. You learn your own mothertongue using an imported writing system, I never learnt my own mothertongue Hindi using imported Roman script in school.

Chinese too can be traced back to East Africa where the human race evolved. Vedic Aryans are ancestors of modern Indians, they didn't got vanished.

What is wrong in dividing by zero when we have complex number and irrational numbers in mathematics.

Carrying on dividing numbers with ZERO?

 

[INDIC]

Our schools don't teach them unlike compulsory imported Pinyin in Chinese schools I was simply taught Devanagari script in pre-school, then framing simple word sentences out of it, you have to rely on imported Roman script to learn to pronounce your own language.

India?! What the heck!! India didn't even exist until Friday August 15, 1947.

India about whom ancient Greeks knew, ancient Romans knew, ancient Persians knew, ancient Chinese knew, ancient Arabs knew. Your comment seems like Pakistan came into existence on 16 December 1971 when Bangladesh got separated.

 

[INDIC]

Why don't use carrying dividing numbers with ZERO now?

You didn't reply to my question.

Romanized Hindi or Romanagari

To be honest with you, there was no known country to exist by the name of "India" on Thursday August 14, 1947. "India" may have been some sort of a province or a colony of some sort belonging to some other country but there was no independent nation by that name.

There was Pakistan though...

China has accomplished a lot more in the fields of mathematics and astronomy than India has.

You are not honest, India has existed since ancient times, Pakistan only after 1947.

Without the use of zero, Chinese numerals is extremely complex. For writing 3 digit number like 873, Chinese numerals had to use 5 symbols.

Chinese Abacus: 600 Years and Counting

Chinese abacus is a simple device for performing mathematical calculations. Known as the Fifth Invention of Ancient China, the abacus can perform addition, subtraction, division and multiplication; it can also be used to obtain square roots and cubic roots.

This device may had Indian roots.
