inbonobo: CHINESE is ideal for micro-blogs, which typically restrict messages to 140 symbols: most messages do not even reach that limit. Arabic requires a little more space, but written Arabic routinely omits vowels anyway. (via Daily chart: Lost (or gained) in translation | The Economist) Brazilians use “abs” for abraços (hugs) and “bjs” for beijos (kisses);  Spanish speakers need never use personal pronouns (“I go” is denoted by the verb alone: voy).
