Thread: Chinese Sanskrit relation.

Guys i always thought That china being our neighbor.why don we have any commoness in our languages or any word which is strinkigky similar.i google searched and found this info that Mandarin (Chinese national language or chinese in simple words)is actually a sanskrit word.
The logic given in the site is that when in olden age Indian businessmen went china for business they traded with the excise and custom officers and ministers called Mantri.the language of these people was not sanskrit and was very different to any of the Indian ancient languages.
They say that Indians called these people as mantri and their language as Mantrin,.
This remained the same.till the portugeuse people with other europeans came to China in middle of past millenium.and got to that their language is mantrin.
As there was no proper tone for T in Portegues.they simply called it Mandarin,hence the word.
Interestingly,the Chinese don deny from this fact as there is no single document or traceable word attachment to Mandarin in old Chinese language system.thus the logic applies.
Please google search.i have written all this on mobile.so cant give the site link.
Thanks.

Nice information mate. thanks for sharing
