La, ijo, Sapan(nipon), ona li kepeken e kalama pi Mitele Sinitike.
The word "kansi" is Hànzì in both MC and Manderin. The adaption into Toki Pona is simple. However 文 is read "wen" if from Manderin, but its "miun" in MC. The problem is worse with "甲". Its read "jia" in Manderin, but "kæp" in MC (Toki Pona "kapi"). Shall I use readings of Manderin or MC? As an example, Japan uses readings from Middle Chinese.
