The Chinese language. before the
attempt was made to give China a
national writing in what is now

Pekingese dialect. The imperial die
tiOnary, stin the standard, although
1t Is two centuries old, contains A. 449
words. Each Chinese syllable has an
average of 105 meanings. They are
distinguished by the slight difference
Of pronunciation and by the ascot

the same monOsyllable is an entirely
