Chinese?

How is this Chinese if it's in the Latin alphabet, without even a single Chinese character? Does the English language have any words in Chinese characters? 173.88.246.138 23:07, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

It doesn't need to be reciprocal. There are quite a number of Chinese words that only have Latin characters. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 23:09, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for late reply. These are some Chinese words written in foreign script:

• pinyin abbreviations: nb, sb, awsl, nmsl, yysyqs (yǒu yī shuō yī quèshí);
• English loanwords: CD (xīdì), root
• wasei-eigo: galgame, FtX, MtX;
• Chinese pseudo-English: KTV.

That English language doesn't have any words in Chinese characters doesn't make sense; the influence of English language and Latin alphabets and that of other languages and scripts cannot 同日而語. --沈澄心✉ 14:24, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

In addition, 剋 (kēi) is sometimes written as K (kēi). --沈澄心✉ 14:45, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Citations

@Suzukaze-c It'd be helpful if you could provide some quotes for this entry, which is probably not uncontroversial. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 23:12, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

@Justinrleung, Suzukaze-c I've added 4 citations (archived on http://archive.is). Do these citations qualify? --沈澄心✉ 04:55, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@沈澄心: Thanks for the effort, but I don't think they would qualify. Archiving on an Internet archive doesn't make them "permanently recorded". — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:57, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: I found 4 citations in print media. Now it should be cited. --沈澄心✉ 05:49, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
