Quick Facts

Chinese is a language group consisting of many languages, some 13 main dialects, some of which include Standard Chinese/Mandarin (see also Mandarin), Yue (Cantonese), Wu (Shanghaiese), Minbei (Fuzhou), Minnan (Hokkien-Taiwanese), Xiang, Gan and Hakka dialects. These are mutually unintelligible to varying degrees, with Standard Chinese/Mandarin (Putonghua, based on the Beijing dialect) the national language spoken by more than 70% of the population.  

Simplified and Traditional Chinese are the two main written forms for Chinese characters. The traditional system is still used in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and Chinese speaking communities outside mainland China (except Singapore and Malaysia). Its form originates from the standardized character forms dating back to the late Han dynasty.

Simplified Chinese however, literally ‘simplifies’ most complex traditional characters/glyphs to fewer strokes, many to common caoshu shorthand variants.

+ Singapore is the only foreign nation to have officially adopted Simplified Chinese

+ Chinese (any dialect), does not have a phonetic alphabet, but rather, uses characters to express words, thoughts or principles

+ Up to 50,000 characters exist, however only about 8,000 are currently in use

+ A knowledge of 2000 characters supports basic literacy
