Hokkien (Vegetarian World)

The Nation of Hokkien is a member of the. It is known for its amazing diversity of languages. Even today, with a centralized government and education system, it is still largely true that even only two towns down from your own, it's hard or even impossible to understand the dialect or language. Only in the mid-20th century did Hokkien implement a program to teach people how to communicate with other groups. Even now, there is no official language. Because most of the languages share the same or very similar written forms, reading and writing have become the most critical studies, as it's easy to get your meaning across when you write it down. Currently, Hokkien is starting to feel more like a single country as people using different languages and dialects communicate more or less fluently while using the internet, because of its emphasis on typing instead of speaking. Also, it is a requirement in school to pass either the Min Nan (Southern Min), Min Bei (Northern Min), or Min Dong (Eastern Min) speaking tests.
