Hi Mr Benny I want to tell some important in formations about Chinese or Japanese letters or characters JAPANESE OR CHINESE LETTERS DIVDED INTO THREE MAIN FAMILIES THAT IS

FIRST FAMILY IS : hiragana Letters they are about 46 tone letter Like KA KE KU KO KOH AND SO ON

SECOND FAMILY IS :katakana Letters They are the same as hiragana But they Chinese or japnese use it to express some strange objects like tree like car like Coffee that KA FE And so on

THIRD FAMILY : IS KANGE And It is the Worest Because it is not letters it is a whole character that Express a something like a Whole

MY QUESTION IS WHY CHINESE OR JAPANESE SPECIALLY CHINESE WHY THEY DONNOT WANT TO CANCEL THESE KANGE CHARACTERS AND COMPENSATE THEM WITH hiragana AND katakana ? so that make their writing easy instead of keeping in their mind 5000 KANGE Characters?

Hi Gorsian,

Chinese writing Language or the Characters has been there for almost 3000 years, the characters also reflects the root for the Chinese culture.

If we take the characters out and only keeps the letters or “pinyin”, then this language becomes meaningless, because each character has a correspond meaning, not the letters.

YESS GOOD

But What about hiragana AND katakana Each of them is about 46 hiragana is 46 letters or tones and katakana is also about 46 letters or tones

Like

カ ka

キ fe

ク ku

ケ ke

コ ko

キャ kya

キュ kyu

キョ kyo

And So on with S and F and D and a .. etc

So if We want to write KAFE that means Coffee

We Can write it カキ kafe カ ka キ Fe

So its easy so Chinese can use this Katakana Alphabets Instead of Kange Or Kanje So what is your opinion in this ?
