ASIAN LINGUISTIC FACTS

IS ASIAN A LANGUAGE?

The Asian continent is made up of many countries, so rather than just one single tongue there are many Asian languages. In Asia, some of the tongues spoken are Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, but there are many many more.

HOW MANY ASIAN LANGUAGES ARE THERE?

In Asia, around 2,300 vernaculars are spoken today by an estimated 4.46 billion people. The most commonly spoken Asian tongues are Chinese, Hindi, Bengali, Japanese and Indonesian.

WHAT LANGUAGE DO ASIAN SPEAK?

The most widely spoken language in Asia is the Chinese language, though this is broken up into numerous forms of Chinese such as traditional Chinese, Mandarin, Simplified Chinese and more. When you need Asian translation services it is essential to know what target audience you are translating for as you may find low-quality translation services.

HOW TO TELL ASIAN LANGUAGES APART?

Many Asian translation services struggle to accurately translate traditional Chinese and other dialects. That's why we only use native-speaking translators who can correctly identify and accurately translate written text and transcribe all dialects of Chinese. We employ skilled linguists who natively speak a wide range of Asian languages so no matter which vernacular your project is in, or which one you need it translated into, we can provide high quality translation services every time.

ARE NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGES RELATED TO ASIAN LANGUAGES?

There has been no definitive proof that Native American languages are linked to Asian tongues, but there is some belief that they could be, because genetically Native Americans are closely related to East Asians.

WHAT ASIAN LANGUAGE IS THE EASIEST TO LEARN?

It is often thought Indonesian or Malay are the easiest forms of Asian to learn and there are many elearning courses available to learn these vernaculars.

WHAT’S THE HARDEST ASIAN LANGUAGE TO LEARN?

Mandarin Chinese, though widely spoken is often considered one of the hardest tongues to learn. If you require Asian translation services we would always advise using a translation service such as Absolute Translations which only uses native speaking translators rather than machine translation to ensure the meaning of your document is correctly portrayed.

As there are over 2000 Asian languages and there is some overlap with some of them. To achieve a totally correct translation always use a translation service that uses native-speaking translators such as Absolute Translations.

WHICH ASIAN LANGUAGE HAS SEVEN DIALECTS INCLUDING MANDARIN?

Chinese is an Asian language that has seven dialects; Mandarin Guan, Hakka/Keija, You, Wue, and Min.

WHY DO ASIAN LANGUAGES USE SYMBOLS?

Many Asian countries use use symbols or ideographs to represent words and ideas instead of an alphabet. For example, Japanese text which is a “logosyllabic” system so each character symbolizes a syllable of spoken Japanese. If you need to translate simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese or any other Asian pictorial writing then we can provide the translation services you need.

HOW MANY COUNTRIES DOES ASIA HAVE?

WHAT ARE THE TOP TRANSLATED ASIAN LANGUAGES AT ABSOLUTE TRANSLATIONS?
