We already have so many,many books on learning old
chinese grammar in chinese and english .It is easier
for anyone to learn any kind of modern chinese
languages without having to suffer much in basic
level.However,old chinese is just too hard to learn to
write or read them.I can't write old chinese but I can
only read them slowly with dictionary behind me.
Chinese translation of pali tipitaka done a few years
ago in 70 volumes are in old chinese which is a big
trouble for common layman to read them.They need to
have good chinese language level first
