Incorrect date of age?

"The Chinese script appears as a fully developed writing system in the late Shang dynasty (fourteenth to eleventh centuries BC)."

This would mean around 3000 to 4000 years old, not 6000.

Can anyone confirm the section on Sichuan being emptied by a plague in the 12th century, and then recolonized by settlers from the North? If not, I suggest deleting that part; I've been trying to confirm the information and didn't find anything. Other parts of the article contain dubious information; for example the claim that "virtually all" mainland Chinese speak Standard Mandarin; in reality, it's probably closer to 50%. The article should probably be checked by an expert. Rara bb 01:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete?

I'm wondering if this article serves any significant purpose. Except for the section on Sino-Tibetan, almost all of the content appears on the Chinese language Wikipedia page. It seems like there's no reason for this page to exist unless it's a more in-depth coverage of the history of the language. At present, it is not that.
