Origins

The present daughter article derives from two similar sections in lengthy mother articles: Ethnic issues in the People's Republic of China#Graphic pejoratives and Barbarian#Pejorative Chinese characters. After finishing revisions and additions, I will mark this as the main article and delete the redundancies. Keahapana (talk) 22:41, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Translations

"从犬亦省聲" should be interpreted as "From the 犬 radical, with a simplified 亦 as phonetic" --Xie1995 (talk) 00:33, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this article: graphic pejoratives formerly used to refer to the Miao people of southern China (including 貓 or 猫). 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:07, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't 𤞑 also used at some periods in Chinese history to refer to the Hui ethnic group? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:43, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Should this be moved to just graphic pejoratives? That term was redlinked, I redirected it here. It is not used much in literature, and where it is I see it only used in the discussion of the Chinese language... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:56, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Piotr, thanks for revising and reformatting this article, which I enjoyed researching in 2013. Before changing the title, we should find out if other logographic languages have insulting names. A cursory search finds one source that says the Egyptian hieroglyph for "desert" also means "nasty foreigners". I don't presently have time for revision and will try to come back later. Ramsey (1987: 160) mentions the linguistic pejorations of Lolo and Jingpo, so the Further reading section can eventually be eliminated. Best wishes. Keahapana (talk) 00:15, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
