May 4, 2018 at 9:58 comment added ccpizza @ChristopheStrobbe: I mean native speakers of Chinese mandarin as their single original primary language.
May 4, 2018 at 9:51 comment added ccpizza @ChristopheStrobbe: I guess wikipedia's assumption is that English is more prominent and more widely used than Chinese. The same page says: For example, Mandarin Chinese has many compound words, giving it a moderately high ratio of morphemes per word, yet since it has almost no inflectional affixes at all to convey grammatical relationships, it is a very analytic language.

May 4, 2018 at 9:48 comment added Tsundoku "compared to English"? The Wikipedia page you reference says, "The currently most prominent and widely used analytic language is modern English, (...)." Please not that Mandarin is strictly speaking a dialect group and not a synonym for Standard Chinese. Does the problem you describe apply to speakers of any of the Chinese languages?
