abstract
  • The Boueki language (貿易語, Boueki-go), also known as "Boh'eki" or "Boeki" is a synthetic Chinese language (or dialect) that was created by Chinese and Japanese traders to facilitate doing business. Boueki is written in almost the same way as Chinese, but its characters are pronounced in the Sino-Japanese (Kango) fashion, and do not usually have specific tones. Boueki is different than a pidgin because it does not corrupt words into new forms, but instead retains the exact same words and sentence structure of the Chinese written language, while merely pronouncing them in a Japanese way. This is also not merely Japanese-accented Chinese, as "kango" pronunciations been part of Japanese for hundreds of years and most words sound significantly different than their Chinese origins. Boueki is almost completely comprehensible in written form to Chinese, but there are some Japanese words and phrases and alternative meanings for some Chinese characters that are not present in the original Chinese. Boueki, like Chinese, can be written using traditional or simplified characters, but in Japan, the Japanese versions are often used. Recently, simplified Chinese writing has been gaining a foothold.
