Chinese BASIC

Chinese BASIC (Chinese: 中文培基; pinyin: Zhōngwén Péijī) is the name given to several Chinese-localized versions of the BASIC programming language in the early 1980s.

One of these was shipped with the best-selling Multitech Microprofessor II (known as Acer today).

Another version was shipped with MiTAC's Little Intelligent Computer (小神通).

Multitech also developed a Zilog Z80-based port of the Chinese BASIC for its own line of high-end computers.

The significant length of an Applesoft BASIC variable name is restricted to two bytes.
