I have a challenge, can you distinguish which character set/s belongs to Japanese & Mandarin?

There are of course differences between Kanji / Hanzi but the “difficult” part is knowing which language is which simply by glancing (unless you know either 日本語 or 中文 that is).

In contrast, do you know any words that are near identical when written down between two “alphabetical” languages based on their spelling?

    it’s a list of characters (from left to right: japanese forms and traditional chinese forms). i can’t tell fot all characters but it seems to be true for those i know. (?)

    i don’t speak any of these languages but i dabbled with learning to write …
