Malay ?
#10
Yes and writing is an art form in China too... because the characters are so beautiful, and so full of meaning.

I'd like to show you the characters for YING GUO REN (in other words: ENGLISHMAN [or person]) and for YING YU (the English language)
The character YING was chosen for its phonetic closeness with the ENG of ENGLAND (the GUO part means land, realm, country) but actually the character for YING means flower or talent, thus England appears to be the Land of the Talented or the Land of Flowers. The simple 2-stroke character is REN for man / person.

YING YU (English, the language), the first character is YING again, the second is YU the one meaning language (spoken). It is made of three parts: the part on the left is the key for the spoken word, the upper right one is FIVE (don't ask me why, I think it's a phonetic thing again) and the lower right one is the sign for mouth, a fitting sign since we're talking about oral language.
