<splort!> I always thought that that was one of the things Jos
Whedon got right in Firefly - two languages in space Chines and English
with people speaking a pidgin of both.
But there are multiple Chinese languages. I know they are commonly called
“dialects”, but it is also pointed out that, say, Mandarin and Cantonese
are more different from each other than, say, English and Norwegian.
There is the saying “a language is a dialect with an army”. I suppose
there is a corollary to that: China ceased being a bunch of independent
states around 220 BC.
