Because the English alphabet contains only single-character characters.
The Romangreek alphabet represent sounds while the Asian characters represent words
Mandarin has no alphabet. It is made of of different characters.
It depends how the characters are encoded. If they are ANSI characters and limited to alphanumeric characters only (uppercase, lowercase and digits) then a 5 character password has (26+26+10)^5=916,132,832 permutations. Knowing the number of permutations and the speed of your computer (how many passwords you can generate and test every second) you should be able to work out how many hours it'll take. As an example, at 1,000 passwords per second it'd take 10.6 days using a 62 character alphabet.
Using the [modern] Roman alphabet, there are 15600 possible passwords that are not case-sensitive.
Chinese has no alphabet as such, it only has characters, of which there are far too many of to call an alphabet. However the closest thing to an alphabet would be the radicals which go together to form different characters. For example the character for "good" is "好" which consists of the female radical "女" and the child radical "子"(because if you had a wife and child that was good-yes i know it's sexist but it was a long time ago). I hope this helps you.
The Chinese language has no alphabet. It is made of of characters. Each character comprises radicals, and each radical can be composed of 1 or more strokes.
Unlike the English language, Chines writing is not comprised of words made by putting letters together from the alphabet. Each word is a character or like a picture. Some words can be two or three characters. To put it into perspective, imagine the alphabet being made up of thousands of characters and not just 26.
Written Chinese is not an alphabetic script.[1] Rather, it is a logographic script based on Chinese characters, though there also exist alphabetic systems to transcribe spoken Chinese.Good Characters' Chinese Alphabet SetABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
In Japanese, the alphabet is written in a script called "katakana" or "hiragana", not in kanji characters. Kanji characters are used for writing words borrowed from Chinese. Each katakana or hiragana character represents a syllable sound rather than a specific letter like in the Western alphabet.
By this time it consisted of about 700 symbol's that stood for words or syllable's about 1400b.c.,the Phoenicians had developed 22 simple characters for the entire writing system. Each character stood for a consonant.* Later,the Greeks added vowels to the Phoenician alphabet.
Chinese, unlike Western languages like English, French, and German, does not have an alphabet and letters. Instead, it has something known as a "character system" that is composed of thousands of different symbols (known as characters) that each have a different pronunciation. So, rather than spelling with letters, Chinese write characters.
