as there are many chinese here

Honestly do you think that the latin alphabet is more useful than the chinese one?
or the arabian or cyrillic one or even the corean one

all these alphabets have a limited number of symbols you can recombine them

But in chinese you have thousands of different ones! I mean what is more practical??

Looking for your answers

I think now and in coming 100 years, it is still like this:

Latin/Arabic/Cyrilic Languanges
-----------------
Great Scientific language. Easy to learn, I like it. Maybe lacks a bit power in expression. You cannot translate Chinese to English at all, but English can be translated into Chinese with 100% correctness and beauty.

Chinese Language:
-----------------
Not suitable for scientific purpose,
but with extremly expression power, great for literature, I really like it, so beautiful, but difficult to learn for foreigners.

Japanese is just a 95% copy of Chinese, Korean language no idea, but still double-bytes language like Chinese. Don't know why Korean abandoned Chinese and choose for her own writting system.

Well I am looking to learn a language which is not written in latin

I am Not sure whether

Chinese ( my father was several times in Asia and China he says there is fast progress- hm perhaps not bad if you understand some)

Russian (cyrillic) big neighbor in the east I am sure Russia will perform much better in the future again


or Arabian ?? also a very far spread language spoken my millions of middle east people


which other alphabets exist? an Indian one?

Future is in the EAST, I think after 50 years Chinese will be popular.

Indian speaks English.

Russian, maybe not that usefull, cuz they will speak English.

Arabic, then you will have big chance to become Muslim lol

Not that many important languages more.

But honestly speaking, I don't want foreigners to learn Chinese, because then they know what we do, well now we know what we are doing and what you are doing, but you only know what you r doing NOT what I am doing lol

Chinese writing is pictographic, NOT alphabetic, so you cannot learn a Chinese alphabet per se because it does not exist. 

If you are wondering which alphabet is more useful then I cannot say because I have never learned any language based on the cyrillic or arabic alphabets.  All I can say is that a useful system to express Chinese pronounciations (Pinying) has been developped using the Roman alphabet.

HBN,
Why don't you wont people will learn Chinese?
If people will now the language they will now the culture.
I now i want more people will learn hebrew although
there is nothing to do with it, except from reading the bible in the origin language.

there comes the true HBN again!

@Dan:

When Israeli scientists publish their works, do they publish in Hebrew only or English (or French) as well?  More significantly, is does Hebrew have enough flexability to develop the vocabulary necessary for scientific terms?  Because if Israeli scientists were to be leading every scientific field and publish in Hebrew only, then others would also be forced to learn Hebrew.

lol, i cant write or read very much chinese eevn thouyght its my first language...

I condemn the Brahmanist - Hindian genocide of the Kashmiris , Sikhs , Muslims , Christians , Nagas , Dalits , Assamese , .... and others in the Brahmanist - Hindian imperialist empire also known as India.

even if it takes us a million years, China will be great once again, and history will repeat itself!!!

Diunei,
I now that on fields from Exact Sciences they publish it in English and maybe in Hebrew too.
Mostly on American and british magazines.
On other fields like Humanities and Social Sciences it is probably in Hebrew
and in English since those subjects (well most of them) deal with Israel society and Judaism.

And no Hebrew is not flexibility, in fact the Hebrew was dead language until
~100 years. It was used mostly for praying, today millions speaks the language,
mosltly Jewish.

IMO if Israeli scientist have some success (breakthrough) he will publish it
first in English and then in Hebrew(in order to get recognition and mony to continue the research)
