Brain-Flāk
- Not to be confused with Brain-Flak.
Brain-Flāk is an esolang invented by User:None1 and derived from Brain-Flak. It uses Chinese characters as commands.
Commands
Brain-Flak uses 4 left brackets and 4 right brackets, but User:None1 realized that right brackets are only used to match left brackets, so we need only 1 kind of right bracket.
The Chinese characters have 5 tones: (no tone, - (1st tone), / (2nd tone), v (3rd tone), \ (4th tone) ), for example, the pinyin for the character 鸡 is jī, so its tone is 1st tone.
Many Chinese characters have multiple pronounciations, in Brain-Flāk, the "no tone" is prioritized, then the 1st-4th tones.
For example, in Chinese, the character 和 has these pronounciations: hé, hè, hú, huó, huò, huo, but this esolang chooses huo because it is no tone.

Characters that don't have pinyin are ignored.
