Quick Facts
+ Mandarin (both Putonghua and Guoyu), is based on the Beijing dialect and is the national language spoken by more than 70% of the population
+ The terms "Putonghua (Common Language)" and "Guoyu (National Language)" refer to speech, and hence the difference in the use of simplified and traditional characters is not usually considered to be a difference between these two versions
+ Mandarin is often referred to as Standard Chinese, and specifically Simplified Chinese in its written form, it literally ‘simplifies’ most complex traditional characters/glyphs to fewer strokes, many to common caoshu shorthand variants (Also see Chinese)
+ 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
