    orget everything you know: English is a dialect of Chinese

    https://shanghai.ist/2019/09/05/this-group-of-scholars-have-concluded-that-english-is-actually-a-chinese-dialect/

     

    Impossible to believe that such a claim would\'ve gone through any real peer review process, but I\'m interested to know why any genuine academics would think it a good idea to make such an outlandish statement..

    This definitely does not reflect my experience with the peer review process. Perhaps we are just from entirely different academic communities.

    These people then migrated westward and lived as primitive barbarians until contact again with China brought them out of their long dark age.Zhai says that prior to the 15th and 16th centuries, Europe had no history, only myths and legends, claiming that the ancient civilizations of Greece, Egypt, and Rome were all fabrications to cover up this humiliating past. He says that Confucius was the patron saint of what is called the Reinassance.

    A Chinese equivalent of the Flat Earth Society? The Internet has made it easier for people to convince themselves that the Earth is flat, so why not anything else that makes people feel good. Now, I wouldn\'t be too surprised if they published a new estimate of the length of the longest continuous civilization in history -- 13.782 billion years.

    • “Yellow” comes from the Chinese words for “falling leaves,” 叶落pronounced yelou.
    • “Shop” comes from the Chinese word 商铺 pronounced shangpu, meaning the same thing.
