But tell us how much difference are there between "Cantonese characters" and proper Chinese characters? Aren't you still using Chinese characters, with the addition of a few distinctive Cantonese characters?
I've never done a study and I don't have any reference books on that topic. But I would highly appreciate it if you drop the "proper", the word "standard" or "typical set of" would work equally well for your purpose without the connotations.
Hi Alex:
Every Wikipedian understands what is NPOV. Do not feel bad about those words and his attitude. That will only make his arguments less credible. Why not spend our time and energy in something more creative?
I have created a test site: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Test-WP/zh-yue Please try to write some articles in Cantonese, and invite other people to write. Let's prove the concept to gain support.
