Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Hanisation

Hi polyglots.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, when the Internet was popularised rapidly and Michael Jackson was active, many people were open to the idea of cosmopolitanism. However, as time goes by, people choose to hole up, instead of diving into the ocean of unfamiliar parts of the world. There is a famous story in the Bible: Tower of Babble, where the God plays the trick of “divide and conquer” on the human. What if all humans can understand each other?

Following the globalisation through European colonisation, almost all languages have got their romanisations. Because Latin characters are phonograms, people around the world can try to pronounce a foreign name without knowing about another writing system. In 2020s, when China becomes influential worldwide, people start to notice a different approach. In the field of languages, because Han characters are logograms, people around the world can try to understand a foreign text without knowing about pronunciations of content words in that language, without online translators.

Just like that homophones share the same romanised word, synonyms may share the same hanised word; also, a word possessing multiple meanings can be hanised differently.

There can be different hanisation solutions for a language. Here is a demonstration of different solutions for mixed scripts:

• all content words and some function words hanised;
• all content words hanised;
• all words hanised;

At present, pure scripts are unavailable for all languages, unless a set of rules on explaining inflections semantically is established. This solution may require inventing new characters, just like International Phonetic Alphabet derived from Latin script.
