 Thanks to all who corrected my estimate of the number of
possible syllables in Mandarin. Most of the corrections show 400
ignoring tone differences, about 1100 with.

 I would like to stress that the estimate I posted earlier of
30,000 was an off-the-cuff estimate made by a colleague in casual
conversation. Neither of us are in any way experts on Chinese
languages, and I did not mean to give the impression that the
estimates were in any way authoritative.

 I will post a full summary soon.
