There's just one problem with that, I can't read Chinese. I've only been taught how to speak it but not write it. Sorry about that. :)

There are African verbal languages that make use of clicks and other seldom used sounds. I've been told these are pretty difficult to learn because of that fact, but I honestly don't see it (at least, at a distance). After all, a click can be no worse than a European glottal stop (Loch in Loch Lomond), which still bedevils some folks like my wife.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
