national language

Chinese literally means China characters (especially Chinese characters) and broadly means China languages (including minority languages and literature).

As a hieroglyph, Chinese has the function of super-language communication, rather than simple language symbols. Historically, Zhuang language, Bai language, Miao language, Mongolian language, Manchu language areas and neighboring countries have the habit of using Chinese records. ? Chinese provides convenience for people with different languages and backgrounds to communicate in a way that transcends regions and time and space.

The number of Chinese (Chinese characters) users in a broad sense exceeds 65.438+0.7 billion, covering the whole territory of China (mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan provinces) and the Chinese character cultural circle areas such as Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar.

Because there is no distinction between the two concepts of "language" and "writing", Chinese has also become a common name of Chinese language family, including writing system and pronunciation system, which generally refers to standard language.

Chinese is mainly used in China (mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan provinces) and overseas Chinese areas such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar.

Now Chinese can be roughly divided into simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese according to fonts. Simplified Chinese is the standard font used in Chinese mainland, Singapore and Malaysia.

Traditional Chinese is widely used in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Europe and America.

In recent years, with the extensive cultural exchanges in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have also begun to show the coexistence of simplicity and complexity, but the official documents are traditional.

Governments in Malaysia, Singapore and other countries promote simplified Chinese characters and use them in official documents, but people sometimes use traditional Chinese characters.
