I'm reading a book about the chinese society and I red that there is a secret language named NU SHU spoken only among women!It was used to comunicate secretly among women and it was a communication medium contrary to the common language used from the men named "Nan SHU".The women was discrimintaed from the ancient society so they discoverd a way to communicate and to speak only among women.Now in China there are only few women able to speak it.
I found this language so unique and I hope that chinese women will not forget it .Do you know something about this particular language?

This is new to me, but it's a fascinating idea.If the women and men all over the world have a secret language just for their gender then it would be a lot of fun,lol.I mean I am sure that there are several things that women want to keep among themselves and it's the same for men.I remember when I was in school ,the girls in our class had a secret language that took us several months to decode.It was so frustrating when they would look in our direction and talk and laugh,lol.It would be nice to have a universal gender specific language.

I've never heard of Nan Shu, Im very interested in learning more about it.
I hope this isnt going to be another dying tradition. I truly hope and pray that these women can carry on the tradition of this language to their children.
