The Chinese language is spoken by the major ethnic groups of China including both the
People's Republic of China and Taiwan. Significant Chinese-speaking populations are also found in Singapore,
Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Chinese language has features that distinguishes it from most Western
languages: it is monosyllabic, has little inflection, and is tonal, i.e. a tone is assigned to each word in order to
indicate differences in meaning between words similar in sound. Words are composed of single or multiple
characters. Although around 56,000 characters have been accumulated in Chinese, only a few thousand are needed to
write Modern Chinese.
Spoken Chinese comprises many regional dialect groups. Each dialect group consists of a large number of dialects, Most Chinese speak one of the dialects. Mandarin is an official language in both Mainland China and Taiwan. Regardless of the variants in spoken-Chinese, written Chinese uses the same script with two variants: traditional and simplified writing systems. The simplified writing system differs in two ways from the traditional writing system: (1) a reduction of the number of strokes per character; (2) the reduction of the number of characters in common use. In mainland China a simplified writing system is used, whereas in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia overseas regions the traditional script is being used.
