Linguistic Differences: Four

Linguistic Differences 四 四 四 四 four

A comic shows the Chinese, Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and Japanese flags next to the character 四, while the United Kingdom is labeled “four.” The joke is that several East Asian languages use the same character for the number four, whereas English spells it out differently. It is shared as a humorous comparison of writing systems and language differences.
