Strange language on Firefly

While watching Firefly yesterday, everyone in the cast kept saying strange things - my brain would try to parse it and couldn't, and they offered no translation, so I was like "what the BLOODY HELL?". I figured it was some strange futuristic language, or some slang in the future that they made up.

Turns out it was Chinese - via WHEDONesque.

Oh yeah, BTW, Firefly keeps getting better every episode.
