BEIJING: The website The Onion, in a news report, citing ancient documents, claims that the Chinese not only invented the English language (including the script) 700 years before the British. Had even started using it.
The same report also states that some of the oldest documents found in recent times contain English texts that are "much higher" than Shakespeare's poetry.
It should be noted that satirical articles are published on The Anion for the purpose of entertainment and not to provide serious information and news.
A few weeks ago, North Korea's state news agency claimed that the famous Mexican fast food 'Brito' was actually invented by former North Korean President Kim Jong Il.
Kim Jong Il died in 2011 and his son, Kim Jong Un, has been president of North Korea ever since.
Regardless of The Anne's satirical news, it is true that Chinese experts have claimed in 2019 that the English language was originally invented in China. And that many Chinese words are still used in English today with slight variations in pronunciation.
In the same study, experts from a Chinese organization called the World Civilization Research Association even claimed that all Western civilizations originated in China and that ancient Greek, ancient Roman and ancient Egyptian civilizations. Attributes are just a bundle of lies.
