Brushtalk is a form of written communication using Literary Chinese to facilitate diplomatic and casual discussions between people of the countries in the Sinosphere, which include China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
== History == Brushtalk was first used in China as a way to engage in "silent conversations". Beginning from the Sui dynasty (581 to 618), the scholars from China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam could use their mastery of Classical Chinese (; kanbun; ; Vietnamese: '', chữ Hán: ) to communicate without any prior knowledge of spoken Chinese.
