Hi=2C I do not know where to go on the argument as to whether written Chine=
se is Mandarin or not.&nbsp=3B All I have is the Wikipedia article and such=
 to go on (see <A href=3D"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_writing_syst=
em">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_writing_system</A>)=2C which makes=
 some sense to me.<BR>
&nbsp=3B<BR>
Does anyone have any other references on this to suggest?&nbsp=3B Or does t=
he Wikipedia article cover everything here?<BR>
