What makes the chinese language so different from most other languages?

1. Pronunciation
For those of you who aspire to learn Chinese, there is good and bad news here. The good news is that Chinese pronunciation follows the phonetic hanyu pinyin script with great regularity. Like with any language, you will have to learn a few new sounds, but this isn’t the worst part. The real difficulty in pronunciation is that the same set of sounds can have an entirely different meaning depending on whether you pronounce it in high pitch, rising pitch, falling pitch, or a pitch that first falls and then rises again. We use tones in European languages as well. When you ask a question, the last words in a sentence get a rising pitch. But this doesn’t change the meaning of the words individually, just the message of the sentence as a whole. Getting your brain around the recognizing and consistently pronouncing the tones is the most important thing to do when you first start learning Chinese.

2. Vocabulary
Except for a few words that have been borrowed into the Chinese language from English, you will find the Mandarin vocabulary totally unrelated to European languages. Once you put your mind to it, learning the words is not that much more difficult than learning the words for any other language though. And there is an internal logic to the vocabulary that makes sense once you get past the first basic vocabulary.

How to write the words of course is an entirely different chapter, learning Chinese characters is unavoidable if you want to learn Chinese well and will be a work in progress for a long time. I personally enjoy learning the characters because they are like little works of art in themselves, and for someone like me with limited creativity, it’s great fun to be able to draw so many different things. But it does require time, and some people may opt to just learn recognizing the characters and type them on the computer.

3. Sentence structure
Chinese sentence structure is different from European languages in that the circumstances (place, time) come before the action. But once you have the gist of this, it is surprisingly consistent, and unlike in e.g. Spanish, you don’t have much choice of where to put the words. So once you know the drill, sentence structure is not going to take you much effort in Chinese.

4. Verbs & tenses
Could we actually say verbs and tenses don’t exist in Chinese? Different tenses in Chinese are not expressed by changing the verb (by changing the root or inflecting it), but by adding a word to express the tense. To put it simply, “了” (le) means that an action has completed. To express past, you put “last year” or “yesterday” at the front of the sentence. This really does save a lot of time, as compared to learning language like Spanish, French or German.

My answer is the font of Chinese, because Chinese language is pictographic. But the languages of most countries in the world is phonography. There is a different way to understand between them.

especially research the treaty of greenville and the treaty of colerain in washington's administration.   also research at least one significant treaty from the administrations of adams, jefferson, and madison. tell the outcome of each treaty and how it did or did not in the further development of the west.

treaty of greenville (1814) the treaty of greenville (1814) was called a treaty of peace and friendship between the united states of america and the tribes of native americans called the wyandots, delawares, shawanoese, senacas and miamies.

the treaty of colerain was signed at st. marys, georgia in camden county, georgia, by benjamin hawkins, george clymer, and andrew pickens for the united states and representatives of the creek nation, for whom indian trader langley bryant served as an interpreter, on june 29, 1796, proclaimed on march 18, 1797, and codified as 7 stat. 56. colerain was a small community and the site of a u.s. indian factory founded by james seagrove.  

this treaty affirmed the binding of the treaty of new york (1790). the treaties of hopewell and the treaty of holston (1791) established boundary lines between the choctaws, chickasaws, cherokee, and the u.s. the treaty of colerain bound the creek nation to acknowledge the boundaries established in those treaties.  

it also established the boundary line between the creek nation and the united states. at the time of this treaty, the boundaries between spanish florida and the u.s. had not yet been established. this treaty formally allowed the creek chiefs to acknowledge the negotiation for delineating the georgia-florida boundary with spain.  

the treaty contained a provision that the president of the u.s. may establish a trading or military outpost.  

the united states demanded that the creeks give up their american prisoners and also return all "citizens, white inhabitants, negroes and property" taken by the creeks.  

the treaty describes when it would take effect. after the treaty had been signed but not yet promulgated, the u.s. senate requested modification of two articles of the treaty. the first modification stipulated that the military or trading posts would be under the control of the united states. the second modification stipulated that if the u.s. no longer required the use of those posts, the locations would revert to the creek people.  

the quote by walter cronkite contributes to the central idea of the text by supporting the central idea. cronkite argues that what is deemed “right” for and in america may not be good for other countries. this supports the central idea of the text, that the vietnam war was unpopular in america for multiple reasons- including cronkite’s.
