    About Mandarin

    Mandarin Chinese is a group of similar Chinese language dialects spoken in the northern and
    southwestern regions of China. Since one of the dialects is spoken in Beijing, Mandarin Chinese is China's
    official language. Mandarin is distinctive from the other Chinese languages in phonology, timing and
    vocabulary.

    Significance
    There is no exact standard in the Chinese language for pronunciation or grammar. The language consists
    of many dialects consistent by region. "Mandarin Chinese" refers to a specific group of these dialects,
    and "standard Mandarin" is the chief dialect spoken in Beijing. Chinese who speak in other dialects know
    Mandarin and speak it as a second language. Therefore, Mandarin Chinese has the largest number of
    speakers of any language in the world.

    Geography
    Geography of Mandarin dialects
    The Mandarin dialects are indigenous to northern
    and most of southwestern China. As depicted in
    the map, Mandarin is spoken in the far
    northwestern and northeastern regions, but not
    particularly in the central northern area. Mandarin
    is also the official language of Taiwan and one of
    the four official language of the Singapore.

    History
    China's geographical regions led to the creation of
    the different dialects of the Chinese language. The regions separated by mountains and valleys
    developed their own dialect, but could not influence this dialect in other regions because the land's
    topography isolated them. The plains regions developed the Mandarin dialects, and due to the flatness
    of the land, the dialect could easily spread across the plains. The empire in the 17th century attempted
    to make the Beijing dialect the only dialect spoken all across China, but the movement failed. People in
    every region spoke their own dialect without a unified language up until the 20th century, when the
    Chinese government declared the Beijing dialect as the standard Mandarin and as the official language
    of the People's Republic. As a result, the dialect spread to the other regions as a second language.
