Chinese: Wenli, Easy...
"Easy, or Low, Wenli (Wenyen) is a
simplified form of Classical
Chinese writing in which the literary balance and richly em-
broidered figures of speech are abandoned in favour of the more
direct communication of ideas. Understood by Chinese of
limited classical education, it was customarily employed in
government documents and in certain novels and popular
writing. Like High Wenli, it has been
superseded by Kuoyü."--1000 Tongues, 1972
