Its a good thing to promote your own language but using a foreign language that has occupied whole of the world is not a bad thing either. Most of the world's information is in English.
Chinese language is indeed a very old language, just like Sanskrit. And by the way Sanskrit is known to be the mother language of many languages. Search on the internet Pro-Indo-European languages. I am sure Sanskrit has history older than Chinese.
I think it is also not a matter to correct the spellings or language of others. This is a forum where people of different origins communicate and hence it should be the point that the point is clear
KIT Over n Out
CORRECTION: Chinese is THE oldest extant language in the world (far surpassing even Sanskrit by several THOUSAND years), and possibly the oldest full-language in the world. It is the MOST spoken and written language in the world, and contains comparably more knowledge than English (with exception of perhaps in science & tech areas). Considering the Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese are directly descendents (especially Kanji and Vietnamese) its user base is extremely wide.
The reason why most def.pk members don't realize its importance is because of their history of being colonialized. Do you know there are more Internet users and websites/pages that is in Chinese than English?! Open your minds, spread your horizons by learning Chinese. Benefits include: culture, friends, music, movies, science, tech, politics, business, etc.
China was already sailing and exploring the ENTIRE globe before the first stone block of the first Egyptian pyramids were laid. Just think about that.
If I can learn Chinese as a second language, so can others!
