之后我举了一个比较“极端”的例子...
Nuosu is a language based on alphabets. so if you wanna learn Nuosu, you have two options.
one is Latinization, you should learn this,
the other is, traditional way but modernized, aka "Bburma" (not Burma aka Myanmar!)
pick your poison!
apparently, every Bburma character (or alphabet, since the function is the same but works a bit different) is like a combination of one syllable and one tone. very reasonable and interesting, would be fun to learn. but, of course I'll choose Latinization. in order to master alllllllllllll of these Bburma characters, how much time will you spend? the long chart freaks me out and I feel the strength of Latinization once again. hmm, maybe that's why Mandarin Chinese is difficult.
no, Nuosu is still different from Mandarin Chinese cuz, if you write in Bburma characters, you'll still know how to pronunce every word like Indonesian language. it's just, more difficult for beginners to learn the writing system.
btw, letter "r" for similar sound of /z/? that's very Vietnamese.
我也不知道为什么我总能在网上讨论冻鳗或语言的时候随机遇到葡萄牙人...
