As for China, it has many local languages ​​and dialects in different provinces.

Culture and history

The word Asia originated from the ancient Greek word “α”, meaning “east” (or “sunrise” if females are called). Herodotus (440 BC) used it to refer to Anatolia.
The history of Asia can be seen in the form of distinct histories of many of the surrounding coastal regions: East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East linked to the interior mass of the Central Asian steppe.
The surrounding coastal cities were home to some of the world’s known primitive civilizations, each of which developed around the fertile river valleys. The civilizations of Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley and the Hunji shared many similarities. Perhaps, these civilizations have had a good exchange in technology and ideas such as mathematics and physics. Other innovations, such as writing, seem to have developed in each region.
And cities, states, and empires developed in these lowlands.

The central plains region was inhabited for a long time by nomadic knights who could reach anywhere in Asia via the steppes. It was Indo-Europeans who initially assumed expansion outside the plains, spreading their language in the Middle East, South Asia, and the borders of China where the Tokarenites resided.
Most of the northern part of Asia, which includes most of Siberia, was largely inaccessible due to dense forests, climate and tundra. These areas still have very low population density.
The center and the surrounding countries remained largely separated by mountains and deserts. The Caucasus, Himalayan, Krakurum and Jubi deserts formed natural barriers that made the nomadic plains knights pass through with great difficulty.
While the urban city dwellers were more technologically and socially advanced, in many cases they could do little on the military side to fend off the hordes of knights coming from the Central Plains, however, the lowlands did not have enough open pastures to support Great cavalry force.
