Chinese Directory
Chinese, the official language of China belongs to the family Sino-Tibetan languages. Chinese is spoken by approximately one-fifth of the population of the world. Spoken Chinese has several variations across the many regions of China. Out of the thirteen regional variations (as per ISO 636-3, the internationally accepted language code) of the language, Mandarin is the one that has a wider coverage and so Mandarin is taken to be a standard form of Chinese and the official language of China. It is closely followed by Wu, Min and Cantonese. Mandarin is the accepted form of the Chinese language and therefore is the official language used in schools, Government offices and other organizations. The written word or the script of the Chinese language finds its origin in the hieroglyphs. With China slowly turning into a major power in the world, the Chinese language is one that people across the globe are trying to familiarize themselves with.
