Prompt Detail:

Sino-xenic vocabulary refers to words borrowed from Chinese into other languages, particularly those within the Sinosphere, which includes Korean, Mandarin, Japanese, and Vietnamese. Many of these borrowed words are written using Chinese characters, known as kanji in Japanese and hanja in Korean.

Here are some examples of common Sino-xenic vocabulary in the Sinosphere:

  1. 電話 (dianhua in Mandarin, denwa in Japanese, dện thoại in Vietnamese, 전화 in Korean) - telephone
  2. 学校 (xuexiao in Mandarin, gakkou in Japanese, trường học in Vietnamese, 학교 in Korean) - school
  3. 医院 (yiyuan in Mandarin, iin in Japanese, bệnh viện in Vietnamese, 병원 in Korean) - hospital
  4. 大学 (daxue in Mandarin, daigaku in Japanese, đại học in Vietnamese, 대학 in Korean) - university
  5. 火车 (huoche in Mandarin, kasha in Japanese, tàu hỏa in Vietnamese, 기차 in Korean) - train
  6. 餐厅 (canting in Mandarin, shokudou in Japanese, nhà hàng in Vietnamese, 식당 in Korean) - restaurant
  7. 银行 (yinhang in Mandarin, ginkou in Japanese, ngân hàng in Vietnamese, 은행 in Korean) - bank
  8. 电视 (dianshi in Mandarin, terebi in Japanese, truyền hình in Vietnamese, 텔레비전 in Korean) - television
  9. 电脑 (diannao in Mandarin, konpyuta in Japanese, máy tính in Vietnamese, 컴퓨터 in Korean) - computer
  10. 自行车 (zixingche in Mandarin, jitensha in Japanese, xe đạp in Vietnamese, 자전거 in Korean) - bicycle

These examples show how Chinese characters have been adopted by these languages and used to represent similar concepts. While the pronunciation and usage of these words may differ slightly between languages, the use of Chinese characters has helped create a shared vocabulary among them.
