List of loanwords in Chinese : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of loanwords in Chinese
Loanwords have entered written and spoken Chinese from many sources, including ancient peoples whose descendants now speak Chinese. In addition to phonetic differences, varieties of Chinese such as Cantonese and Shanghainese often have distinct words and phrases left from their original languages which they continue to use in daily life and sometimes even in Mandarin. Similarly, northern dialects include relatively greater numbers of loanwords from nearby languages such as Mongolian and Manchu. Throughout China, Buddhism has also introduced words from Sanskrit and Pali. More recently, foreign invasion and trade since the First and Second Opium Wars of the mid-nineteenth century has led to prolonged contact with English, French, and Japanese. Although politically-minded language reform under the Republic and People's Republic of China have generally preferred to use calques and neologisms in place of loanwords, a growing number particularly from American English have become current in modern Chinese. On the mainland, transcription into Chinese characters in official media and publications is directed by the Proper Names and Translation Service of the Xinhua News Agency and its reference work ''Names of the World's Peoples''.〔Xinhua News Agency. ''Names of the World's Peoples: a Comprehensive Dictionary of Names in Roman-Chinese'' (''Shìjiè Rénmíng Fānyì Dà Cídiǎn'' ).〕 Foreign businesses and products are usually free to choose their own transliterations and typically select ones with positive connotations and connections to their products: for example, (IKEA) is "proper home". Owing to antonomasia and genericization, these can then enter general Chinese usage: for example Coca-Cola's ("delicious fun") has led to becoming the common Chinese noun for all sodas. ==Sanskrit==
