The language is a practical lang, not an esoteric programming language. I don't think it belongs here. ----(this comment by A at 12:34, 1 January 2016 UTC; please sign your comments with ~~~~) 04:09, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

How would you define a practical lang vs. esoteric lang? To my understanding, this language is at least weird and themed. I'm not sure if it fit the requirement here. Could you make it more clearer as what could be count as a esoteric programming language? --Ts (talk) 05:24, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
Example: LOLCODE is not an esoteric programming language but rather a weirdlang(i.e. a practical lang with a weird syntax), because it is simply a word-replacement for a general-purpose practical language. The same thing applies to your language, which substitutes a practical language syntax to Chinese character words. ----(this comment by A at 12:34, 1 January 2016 UTC; please sign your comments with ~~~~) 08:46, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
Reference: An Esoteric programming language is a computer programming language designed ... rather than for practical use. Here ----(this comment by A at 12:34, 1 January 2016 UTC; please sign your comments with ~~~~) 08:50, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
A weirdlang is typically just a normal language with weird syntax, but nothing else truly esoteric about it. (Also in the Weirdlang page) ----(this comment by A at 12:34, 1 January 2016 UTC; please sign your comments with ~~~~) 08:50, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
First of all, the language is not mine, design nor implementation. And, it certainly not a word-replacement for some general-purpose practical language. Also, you had mentioned that An Esoteric programming language is a computer programming language designed ... rather than for practical use. I don't think this language is suitable for any practical use. And this seems meet your requirement. --Ts (talk) 01:13, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
