lol I suppose I'd be categorized as a Chinese Though thanks to politics I guess I'm supposed to be/say 'Taiwanese' so some people wouldn't think I'm siding with China or anything...

...But yeah. Asian.

I have a bit of Mongolian blood too, and Jurchen I think. But mostly I'm Han.

Haha Since it's not ripping my hair out or anything I thought it was just standing on my head at first Then I felt it prying at the button on my cap and was like, 'Wat r u doin '

*pokes the thread*

Nuggets! *pokes*

Ohai Dan~
*thinks about poking back, but realizes this isn't facebook.... Or a childish game of tag. Or is it?*

...Maybe.

Hahaha we should start a poke chain on Facebook I have one with a friend that's only at around 40-something the last time I checked.

A poke chain? How? What?

You live in Taiwan? Are you in Taipei? I've always wanted to see Taipei 101 Does Taiwan have a different language? Jurchen... Han... I haven't heard of those... races?
I'm Asian too! I just have a lot of mixed blood/ancestry, predominantly Spanish. I still look a bit Asian, I think. xD

That was a pretty determined bird because it was able to really pry off the button.

I just poked you on Facebook. :P

If you poke me back and I poke you back and continue to do so, Facebook would tell you how many times you've been poking back and forth xDD

It's been years since I've poked anyone on facebook I even thought you can no longer poke anyone there anymore

Nope, Kaohsiung~
Taipei is waaay too crowded for me, and expensive.

Taiwan speaks Mandarin, for the most part, though there are people who also speak the lingo of the so-called 'Taiwanese', but which is really just Min Nan, which came from China as well. But a lot of the ignorant think that it's 'our language'.

Jurchen, though they later started calling themselves Manchu...my history isn't that great so you can just read about them on their Wiki pages. ;;;

The Han Chinese are an ethnic group native to East Asia, and is the majority of a bunch of places including Singapore, China, and Taiwan.


Yes that bird was determined! And when my friends tried to get it off me, it attacked their buttons too

You can, but it's not one of those 'obvious' features anymore so I don't think many people still use it anymore.

Taiwan
I know nothing about it except for the dramas I've watched so you speak mandarin or Taiwanese or Min Nan or whatever it is called?
I'm Asian too too!

I can speak Mandarin, but I've never been able to learn how to speak Taiwanese/Min Nan beyond a few words, most of them being cuss words.

Yay Asians!

I am currently educating myself with Chinese ethnicity thanks to Antagonist.

I've only taught one word by my Chinese friend and it's a bad word. xD I dunno if it's Mandarin or...

No wonder we're online around the same time! lol Who's not Asian in the Nakey thread?

That Taiwanese language and Korean all sound the same to me
People here say Chinese and Japanese sound the same. And eh they don't. So I guess people hw aren't familiar with languages find it all the same

Nuggos, Kirin and Cora?

@Sestina: Which word was that if you don't mind me asking?

@Lexa: Yeah, Korean and Thai all sound the same to me as well, and Cantonese.
I understand why many people would think that Chinese and Japanese sound the same if they don't speak the language themselves...Japanese is like the only language I can recognize what it is as a foreign language. I might be able to tell apart French and maybe Spanish, but for the most part languages like Italian, Greek, Bulgarian, Russian, and etc all sound the same to me.

... pyaosi...? I dunno the spelling since he just mentioned it out loud. He was talking to his grandmother on the phone in Chinese and after the call ended, that is the word he decided to let me know. I think it has the same meaning as... puta?

Chinese, Korean sound like they're about to slap me or something and my friends always ask whether I'm fighting with my mother when I speak in Japanese Ugh Sinhala sounds like barking to me And I confuse all the French, German and all the stupid languages too

Buona fortuna Antagonist!

Pyaosi? It sort of sounds like '嫖妓' (getting a prostitute) I think? Not sure what puta is.

Written down I can recognize them a little more, but when spoken they're all the same to me.

Yes! That's it xD Puta means prostitute in Spanish. Its common use would be puta madre I think it's obvious what madre means. xD

Hahaha yeah. xD

I don't think it's a cuss word though, it's just saying that you're getting a prostitute. O_o

That's Italian. I was learning it earlier this year. xD The French is like a river flowing when they talk. The Italian is a bit musical but fast at the same time when they talk. lol German? They sound angry and I like listening to Germans talking.

Yes, German. My head chef before was German and I loved hearing him talk to someone on his phone in German. xD
