Hello. Recently I've been thinking about the possibility of the revival of 文言/漢文 for the communication not dependent on phonetic methods.

As you, learners of those languages of Sinosphere, may already know, speakers of one language can sometimes succeed in making communications with users of another spoken language through common 漢字. It's of course due to its nature as ideogram.

Thanks to this overwhelming feature, chinese dynasties were able to tie every regional segment, whose linguistic and social customs are different from each other, into one centralistic bureaucratic state, and China could exert a great cultural dominant power on surrounding countries.

文言/漢文, or Classical Chinese, has been elaborated as refined written language, therefore its concision and its diffusion around Sinosphere(the shared vocabulary originating from 漢文) can present the capacity of its functioning as supplementary language.

If you are interested in this plan, please read this thread as well; https://www.reddit.com/r/classicalchinese/comments/iw4js1/我欲用文言設談話之会検討漢文助東亜相互交流之可能性/
