I asked a Chinese person in their 30’s from my local take-away 😛 their opinion is the characters are from an old Chinese language that their father wouldn’t even know. like yourself i thought it would all be the same. Apparently there’s over 50,000 characters in the modern dictionary
there are at least two separate *modern* Chinese character sets and doubtless many ancient ones. It is the sort of thing you would probably need to show to a prof at some University, so would likely have to go as Glasgow or Edinburgh or Stirling to find one (I vaguely remember Stirling specialising in stuff like this).

Hi GL,
Do u speak also chinese? would actually not surprise me as if i remember you speak hollandish wich is same as chinese wenn i hear it.
I remember at 11 years, while visiting New York, been very impressed, maybe even scared looking a chinese in a fish market of the chinese quartier, preparing a fish with his long knife and shouting something that at 11 years was frightening and didn’t sound like a language to me.
Maybe it could be the reason why am 24h/24h on drugs today…. Am traumatised……possibly, lol
alas I hardly know any Chinese (perhaps a character or two picked up from modern electronics datasheets); although Dad was Chinese his family spoke English as they were under British colonialism and their dialect was discouraged (and its a strange and difficult one anyway in comparison to other Chinese dialects).
But I did actually learn Dutch as its easier than Chinese and there is a lot of good info about electronics and computers on many Dutch websites 😉
Cutting up a big fish (to remove the bones etc and make it fit for sale) is a difficult job and people often make a lot of noise doing it.
In UK its often a job women do or did and there is a phrase in English “to swear like a fishwife”…
