Eeeek
*runs away with girly scream*
*realises that no-one is chasing*
*shuffles feet*
I've just been filling in a form for my youngest's school. We have a choice of 18 languages as first/other "used in the home". One of them is Hakka. I have no idea what that is. I thought it was something to do with NZ rugby......
We can also choose from 7 religions but none of them are "Jedi". I may complain ....
Better yet, the ethnic origin part - 14 choices, among them 3, yes 3, types of "traveller". It's weird. 14 ethnic origins available, but only 6 nationalities to pick from.
I'm tempted to make something up, just to confuse them.
Edit: Hakka is a version of Chinese, according to Google. You live and learn.
