Beijing CCTV Annex Fire - Mandarin Oriental Hotel

The Chinese Language

For the student wanting to learn Chinese, the first question that comes up is what Chinese dialect should I learn? There are several regional dialects of Chinese. The most important dialects are Mandarin with approximately 850 million speakers, Wu with about 90 million speakers, Min with and estimated 70 million, and the well known Cantonese dialect with at least 70 million speakers.

Mandarin therefore is the main dialect in China both in numerical terms and as well as being sanctioned as the main language by the Chinese government and therefore of most benefit to the aspiring student. The word Mandarin is a translation from the Beijing expression guan-hu?eaning "official language" that was the dialect of this city for many centuries. This dialect was accepted as the official language at the beginning of the 20th century. Mandarin is also spoken in Taiwan though differences in syntax and vocabulary do exist.

Wu is spoken in the Zhejiang province, the municipality of Shanghai, southern province of Jiangsu as well as parts of the Anhui, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces. The Min dialect is spoken in the southeastern province of Fujian as well as by migrants to Guangdong, Hainan, three counties in southern Zhejiang, and the Zhoushan archipelago, as well as Taiwan. In contrast, the areas with the highest concentration of speakers of Cantonese are in Guangdong province, parts of Guanx, in southern mainland China, Hong Kong and Macua. Of the four official languages that are spoken in Singapore, hu?, is based on the dialect of Beijing, though once again differences are present.

Mandarin speakers number about 70 per cent of the total Chinese population and live mainly in the western plains region. This region includes the central Y?zi, the plain of Hu? the neoriental plain, Sichuan and the the provinces of Guangxi, Gu?hou and Yunan.

The different dialects spoken are normally understood by the different language groups and can be divided as follows: Septentrional, spoken in the northern region and it includes the dialect of Pek? Noroccidental, which includes the dialects of the Loess plain and the territories to the west; Southoccidental, spoken in Sichuan and the adhacent regions; and Oriental, that represent the dialects spoken in Nanking.

Chinese is a tonal language. The tonal difference is one of the most common variations among the different Chinese dialects. At times it happens that the dialects of two villages separated only by a few kilometers have different tonal systems. For example, the tonal system of the dialect spoken in Pekin is the typical way of speaking in the septentrional region.

In this area Mandarin of Beijing represents one of the simplest Chinese dialects from the point of view of the tonal aspect, having four different tones that indicate the four levels of the words: very high, high, medium, and fallen high.

The romanization system officially adopted by the government of Beijing, called pinyin, represents the tones making use of diacritical superimposed signs on the nuclear vocal of the word.
