How do chinese people type?

They've got like fifty thousand letters in their alphabet, how do they fit all that in the keyboard?

Obviously Chinese has peculiarities because they don't have a standard phonetic alphabet (unlike Japanese), and they derive certain loanwords from pronounciation, but that isn't necessary, and it doesn't apply to Japanese.

I don't speak Cantonese but I can read it fairly well simply because I learned plenty of Kanji.

If you only spoke scottish gaelic yet knew how to read the alphabet, would you have a chance of understanding english?
