It is fascinating that there are such major languages (or language groups) without standard written representations.
I understand the concept of formal literary languages but in this case, having literary Chinese as your "written language" feels like an anachronism. Like treating Latin as literary language in medieval Europe: ultimately disenfranchising to common people and something that needed to be set aside.
