Mandarin is the official language spoken in China; it is the standard dialect spoken in the capital city of Beijing. It is only one amongst numerous other dialects spoken throughout China which displays a large diversity in the spoken form of the language though there is some uniformity in the written form.
The Chinese language as such can be classified as part of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages though it cannot be regarded as a homogenous entity due to a considerable difference in the various dialects spoken like Cantonese and Hokkien. Often the speaker of one dialect cannot easily comprehend a speaker of another dialect. The Mandarin dialect is spoken by maximum number of people in the World, 915 million people, mostly concentrated in the North-Eastern and Central part of the country while further South one can find more diversity.
The language is written using Han characters from which it is primarily supposed to be derived; the characters themselves are complex with several abstract meanings and are hence semantic in nature with pictographic elements.
