Varieties of Chinese?Material about the Chinese languageChinese is spoken by more people than any other language in the world.
Chinese has more than twice the number of speakers of English, though of course it lacks the universality of English and is spoken by few people not of Chinese origin. Chinese has been an official language of the United Nations since the founding of the organization in 1954.
Though Chinese has many dialects, Mandarin, based on the pronunciation of Beijing, is considered the standard and is spoken by about two-thirds of the population.
Chinese is written with thousands of distinctive characters called ideographs which most the times have little relation to the sound of a word.
The earliest Chinese characters were pictographs, such as a crescent for the moon, or a circle with a dot in the center to represent the sun.
The Chinese characters do have the advantage of making written communication possible between people speaking mutually unintelligible dialects and languages.
