Chinese Measure Words on Wikipedia

Someone just sent me this link to a great Wikipedia article on Chinese measure words:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_measure_word

It contains tables of measure words with columns for Traditional characters, Simplified characters, pinyin, Cantonese Yale romanization, and main uses.


What is Wikipedia? There is an explanation in their introduction. Of course, such an openly collaborative environment can be abused by some, especially in this world, but it can often heal itself, at least to a degree, and many have found Wikipedia to be at least one useful source of information on many things.
