I often wonder why Mandarin and Cantonese writing did not incorporate phonograms amongst the logograms. I am thinking of Bopomofo and other phonographic inventions. I know that in other Chinese topolects as Hokkien, mixed phonographic-logographic text has been tried, in different versions. Japanese is just this way.

Lojban doesn't just have elements of Mandarin in it. And Japanese has elements of different Chinese topolects.
