I heard that they emigrated and took some of the cantonese language and writing with them. For example, the word 'suicide' is the same for canto and japan. I don't know about mando tohugh...

The different chinese dialects share the same writing, so the same characters are pronounced differently according to preferred dialect of the reader, there is not a different system for mando/canto etc

i heard that a group of explorers/colonisers were sent out on a quest by the Emperor of China to return with the elixir of life to live forever. however, when they went to the islands of japan and found nothing, they feared returning to the emperor and settled there.

Traditional Chinese- Hong kong and Taiwan
Simplified Chinese- Shanghai, Gaungzhou, rest of China.

Several words differ in pronounciation wih the same characters:

不

Different meanings though

 

[Jago]
