	Yue (peoples) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Throughout the Han Dynasty period two groups of Yue were identified, that of the Nan-Yue in the far south, who lived mainly in the area of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Vietnam; and that of the Min-Yue who lay to the northeast, centred on the Min River in modern Fujian.
		Likewise, the "Viet" in "Vietnam" is a cognate of the "Yue".
		The languages of the ancient states of Wu and Yue form the basis the modern Wu language and to some extent the Min languages of Fujian.

	Guoyu. Who is Guoyu? What is Guoyu? Where is Guoyu? Definition of Guoyu. Meaning of Guoyu.
		Kuo-yü (in Wade-Giles) or Guoyu (in pinyin) (國語ㄍㄨㄛㄩ) (literally "national language") was adopted by Republic of China (on Taiwan) and hence as the official pronunciation of Chinese language words.
		It was the Xianbei language during the Northern Wei Dynasty, Mongolian during the Yuan Dynasty and Manchu during the Qing Dynasty.
		Instead the terms putonghua (common speech) or hanyu (language of the Han) are preferred.

	Talk:Cantonese (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cantonese is a dialect of Yue, as is Taishanese.
		Yue Chinese appears to be a good alternative, since that phrase will most probably be used in an article.
		That is to say, for all articles on Chinese languages, the most neutral option is to have titles such as Mandarin, Cantonese, etc. with a disambiguation header at the top of each of them pointing towards articles on ethnicity and the like.

		Planned languages can be created from scratch (see constructed languages) or they can be modifications of original languages, as when a standard language is created.
		In learning their first language, infants acquire a kind of categorical perception which they were not necessarily born with.
		Learning a second language is not exactly like learning a new dance step, because people don’t normally grow up in a society using only one step and basing much of their lives on it.

		The Yue peoples were neighbors of the Zhou and the state of Yue (sometimes referred to as Gu Yue [Ancient Yue] to differentiate it from later Yue polities) was one of the feudal states of the Spring and Autumn period (770 B.C.-475 B.C.).
		The Yue of the southeast interior, while they clearly belonged in the Neolithic era more to the southwestern interior than to the northern coastal Yue cultural complex, were nonetheless exposed by virtue of the relatively easy communications of the region to influences from the coastal region, both northern and southern.
		However we treat the ethnic category Yue, however, it is important to realize that the assumption of Yue unity has always had a powerful influence in China, both upon Chinese scholarship, and upon southern Chinese political values.

	Wang Bi [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Wang’s approach, as far as we can tell from what remains of the commentary, was to focus on those passages that stress the limited capacity of language, especially with respect to the inability to define in language the nature of the sage.
		His view of language is consistent with that of the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi.
		This view of language gives Wang the freedom to uncover what he believes to be the profound meaning that lies behind the words of the classical texts of Daoism, which in turn makes it easier for him to tie them to the Yijing and even to the Confucius of the Analects.

	Vol 35 No 3, July - September 1997 Page 37
		Many people think that effective materials are crucial to the study of a language, while a great number believe that the context of the school or cultural context is essential to acquiring a language.
		Solutions can be found if one tries to relate a second language to a completely different culture, or to a group of people who might have completely different backgrounds, tastes, likes or dislikes, preferences, or prejudices.
		The emphasis is on developing effective communication in writing, an appreciation of using language to express one's thoughts in one's own words, and effective use of different figures of speech, such as metaphor, simile, and allusion.

	Guide for New Students / Chinese Language
		In using the generic term "Chinese," we are referring to the language common to the northern part of the country and which has been adopted as a national standard by the government[s] of China (even though Cantonese, Fukienese, etc., have equal claim to be called "Chinese").
		This language is often called in the West "Mandarin Chinese" (i.e., the language of the bureaucracy), a reasonable translation for the imperial-period term guanhua
		This means that the Chinese written language has proven extremely useful as a unifying device over time, as the spoken language has evolved, and over space, in a country where many different (and often mutually unintelligible) languages are spoken.

		Cantonese is the principal language of the Kwangtung province in Southeast China, parts of the Kwangsi province and of Hong Kong and Macao.
		Thus, an educated speaker of any of the language varieties recognizes written Chinese, but may pronounce it in his or her own "dialect." These "dialects," however, are not mutually intelligible.
		The term language is used here to refer to the major distinctions within Chinese (for example, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Wu, and Min) and the term dialect to refer to further distinctions (for example, Toishan is a dialect of Cantonese).

		We also know of the Yue reputation for riverine war fought from a variety of small craft and it is easy to imagine the constant state of alarm which this must have produced in the Qin troops, expecting to be ambushed at every small stream.
		At the time of the Han impact, no Yue language was still written with the earlier "Bird Script." The expanding cultures of the Central Plain had established a common script and written Yue stopped evolving, whatever its beginnings may have been.

		The premise of Victor H. Mair's wide-ranging article is that written Chinese emerged not as transcribed speech, but rather as a special, radically shortened cipher with its own grammatical and expressive conventions.
		The First Emperor of Qin (this is the guy who was buried at Lishan with the terra-cotta army and scads of other stuff) was a Legalist reformer and standardized the heck out of everything -- weights, measures, chariot axles, road widths, and of course the writing system.
		Speaking of Kumarajiva, one shouldn't ignore the important contribution made by Xuan Zang (the monk portrayed in the Chinese novel Journey to the West) in the history of the translation of Buddhist texts into Chinese.

	The Secret Language of Nu Shu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Women in feudal China, constrained by brutal marriages and bindings that compressed their feet to lengths as short as five inches, developed a secret language of their own to sing to each other what they were forbidden to say....
		In the one-hour film, Gong Zhe-Bing, a professor at Wu-Han University, says that when he presented findings in 1982 suggesting Nu Shu was a written language, his claims were laughed off.
		A unique dialect of 7,000 characters, Nu Shu was used by female friends -- peasants, often with bound feet -- who were so close that they clled themselves 'swarn sisters'.
