Broberg, Mats asks:
How _should_ indices and glossaries in these languages be sorted?
--------------------------
Check out this FAQ. I googled "sorting chinese words in xml" to find it.
It will probably answer most of your questions. http://xml.ascc.net/en/utf-8/faq.html
I've never learned simplified Chinese, only Traditional, and that was sorted by radical and stroke count, very similar to Japanese......I think. :-) Anyway, that Zhongwen site looks pretty darn cool and I'll have to check it out myself some time.
As someone else pointed out, Chinese and Korean are not South East Asian languages, they are East Asian Languages. In linguistic terms, Chinese is a member of the Sino-Tibetan language family, and Korean is a member of the Altaic language family......more or less........
