And china too. I mean, it has its weird things like "Zebenshu" which means is "this book" while for other objects you usually say "zhege" instead of "zheben" and there are some other .... ah nvm .... fuck Chinese. They're a weird language.

edit: Chinese - I mean Mandarin. I don't know how Cantonese or Old chinese/Taiwanese relate to that fact.
