It is available in Hong Kong in both the traditional Chinese script and the simplified Chinese used in mainland China - although the version is not approved for use in China by the Three Self Patriotic Movement. The most popular Chinese Bible in mainland China remains the older Chinese Union Version, and secondly the legally produced Today's Chinese Version. The Three Self Church discourages the use of the Chinese New Version and other unlicensed versions. However, in Taiwan and Hong Kong the CNV has found a following especially in evangelical circles.[1]

While the Latin alphabet has a core of 26 letters that can form an entire vocabulary, Chinese consists of tens of thousands of characters (or logograms) that are used to write single- and multiple-character words. Today, there are two different written forms of Chinese: Traditional and Simplified. Traditional Chinese preserves the orthodox characters that have been used for thousands of years. As its name suggests, Simplified Chinese consists of simplified versions of the traditional Chinese characters.

I'm trying to find a pinyin input method for traditional chinese that works on Ubuntu 20.04. A lot of similar questions on askubuntu are from around 9 years ago, and the answers no longer seem to fully apply.

If I go to the language support panel and use Ibus as my input method system, the Chinese options available are either for China (simplified) or Hong Kong (traditional). When adding input methods in the Region and Language menu, China's version (i.e., simplified chinese) has intelligent pinyin which seems to work fine, but it's for simplified chinese, and the Hong Kong (traditional) version does not list intelligent pinyin as an input method. The other methods seem to either not function or not be pinyin.

I tried switching from Ibus to fcitx, and added input methods using fcitx-configtool. However, the pinyin options I found were either simplified (with google's input method), or they didn't work. Is there a way to get google's pinyin input to support traditional characters? Does fcitx have a working traditional pinyin input method? Any help would be appreciated.

Chinese stands among the six official languages of the United Nations, for which simplified Chinese characters are the official script instead of traditional Chinese characters. Both simplified and traditional Chinese characters regard written Chinese only and are thus unrelated to spoken Chinese. They are each a subset of Chinese characters standardized for contemporary use. A long-running dispute on Chinese orthography, debate on traditional and simplified Chinese characters may confuse Chinese learners about which to learn.

Despite the relative advantages of Mandarin and Cantonese as spoken Chinese and simplified and traditional characters for written Chinese, a user base comparison sheds strong light on the selection for learners of Chinese as a second language.

Gradually prevailing since the 1950s, simplified Chinese characters are a subset of standardized Chinese characters officially used in mainland China (92% Chinese speakers of its 1.41-billion population in 2022), Malaysia (7% Chinese speakers and 23% ethnic Chinese of its 33.9-million population in 2022), and Singapore (51% Chinese speakers and 74% ethnic Chinese of its 5.64-million population in 2022). Based on their historically popular cursive forms that reduce the number of strokes, certain Chinese characters have undergone simplification in the structure, radicals, and components and consolidation in the total number of Chinese characters by mapping variant characters with the same pronunciation and identical meaning to the simplest form. According to the 2013 Table of General Standard Chinese Characters, such a standardization resulted in 2,546 simplified Chinese characters corresponding to 2,574 traditional Chinese characters and another 794 standardized Chinese characters corresponding to 1,023 variant Chinese characters. Therefore, 38% of commonly used and less than 5% of all Chinese characters were systematically simplified from their traditional and variant character correspondences in modern standardization. Most of commonly used characters did not undergo simplification and are thus identical between the traditional and simplified Chinese orthographies.

In contrast to simplified Chinese characters, traditional Chinese characters are another standard character subset that remain commonly used in Hong Kong (95% Chinese speakers of its 7.29-million population in 2022), Macau (92% Chinese speakers of its 682-thousand population in 2021), Taiwan (88% Chinese speakers of its 23.9-million population in 2022), and many overseas Chinese communities for contemporary written Chinese. Korean Hanja and Japanese kanji use a mix of simplified, traditional, and variant Chinese characters to a certain extent. The traditional characters are based on the regular script, which took shape in the 2nd century and remained mostly in the same structure as the standard form of printed Chinese characters for official document and publishing ever since.

Based on the population sizes and the proportions of Chinese speakers among countries and regions with Chinese users, simplified Chinese characters have a user base of at least 1.30 billion, whereas traditional Chinese characters have a user base of at least 28.4 million, while another 17.3 million Chinese speakers may be accustomed to either or both. Therefore, 97% to 98% of Chinese speakers typically write with simplified Chinese characters, while the other 2% to 3% of Chinese speakers typically write with traditional Chinese characters. Since simplified Chinese characters currently have 28.5 to 46.4 times as many users as traditional Chinese characters, the message to Chinese learners should be clear: Learn Chinese with simplified Chinese characters to reach the vast majority of Chinese character users unless the audience are confined in areas that typically use traditional Chinese characters.

Just like that most people read the Christian bible in English and other modern languages instead of ancient Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, most Chinese classics written in the style of Classical Chinese available to readers are printed in simplified Chinese characters regardless of their original scripts, as in elementary to high school textbooks for native speakers. These textbooks explain ancient pronunciation variants in pinyin if necessary to rhyme better. Students in China are taught classical Chinese texts and are expected to master important classical pieces and apply the skills to interpret other less-known pieces, as the middle school enrollment test, the high school enrollment test, the high school graduation test, and the college entrance exam all require substantial testing on classical poetry and essays, using pieces included in their curriculum for writing from memory and those not included for interpretation and analysis. Using simplified characters for writing and modern standard Mandarin for reciting Chinese classics provide better access and leave little hinderance to interpreting and appreciating classics among modern people.

For Chinese learners as a second language, a comprehensive textbook should cover some classics. I suppose that the HSK level 1-6 standard textbooks designed for second language learners of Chinese do so in several lessons by showing simplified characters of classics with instructions and interpretations in English and other languages and providing audio recordings in standard Mandarin. There should be also tons of English text on Chinese classics. Therefore, knowledge of traditional Chinese characters is not a prerequisite to understand Chinese classics and the writing style of Classical Chinese. [Do you agree and why?
