Though one day (and it is coming), Spanish could become the auxiliary/second official language because the vast population speaks it. | |
| Jul 27, 2021 at 13:32 | comment | added | 水巷孑蠻 | @r13, calm down, relax, please. the two wiki pages are not long, easy to read, imo. one might compare the situation in foreign places, to think reflectively. “ The 'official language' of the Republic of India is Hindi, with English serving as its auxiliary official language” again, such description is also, . . . wrong. read the provided links, please last, this comment would be my last response to this thread. 😸 life is short 🎶 | |
| Jul 27, 2021 at 13:24 | comment | added | r13 | You are arguing for non-sense. I don't know Nepal, for India - "The 'official language' of the Republic of India is Hindi, with English serving as its auxiliary official language." From time to time you have shown excellent knowledge of Chinese culture/language, I don't know why you didn't get this right. | |
| Jul 27, 2021 at 13:14 | comment | added | 水巷孑蠻 | @r13 “Every country has an official language that is taught at school”? you’re kidding 😾 find info about nepal, and india 😻 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_with_official_status_in_India en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India , again, read and comprehend before making further comment on this thread, please | |
| Jul 27, 2021 at 12:20 | comment | added | r13 | I think you know what is an "official spoken language", and why needs one in China. | |
| Jul 27, 2021 at 12:16 | comment | added | r13 | Every country has an official language that is taught at school. In the case of China and Taiwan, Mandarin is the only official spoken language., which shouldn't be confused with dialects that are merely spoken locally, or regionally the best. If you are Japanese, I believe it happens in Japan too - only ONE official spoken language, not any dialect. | |
