@aligorith @NZChineseGenealogy How about a Guānhuà (官話) revival project? That's the REAL Mandarin.

The way people say 'Mandarin' is unwittingly ironic – the entire point of a pŭtōnghuà is almost the polar opposite of having a Mandarins-only language.

I tend to answer white people with a question about their CCP sympathies when they "nĭhăo" me. A local policeman got quite a lecture from me about that a few years ago.
