Chinese translation

It is generally believed that there are nearly 100 kinds of people who can be well documented. There are not only translations of classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese, but also translations of dialects and small languages. The earliest Chinese translation can be traced back to Nestorianism Edition in the 7th century, which was translated by Nestorianism missionary Alopan and others according to his Syrian Bible, and has now been lost.
