Mandarin is the most commonly spoken form of the Chinese language. It is technically a regional language in the Republic of China. According to statistics from 2010, approximately 955 million people in the world speak Mandarin as their native language.
It originated in northern China and then spread to other regions of the country, including the southwestern Chinese province known as Yunnan.

There are 5 regional Chinese languages in total, but Mandarin is the most popular. In Taiwan and China, it is the official language that is taught to students. All educational institutions and government officials are required to use it as the primary language. You’ll also see Macau and Hong Kong using it quite extensively too.

The Beijing dialect of Mandarin is considered the main dialect of the language. But if someone from Beijing were to go to Yunnan, they might have trouble speaking it with the locals because they would pronounce words differently. This isn’t like someone who speaks American English trying to communicate with someone who speaks Australian English. In Mandarin, the dialects are a lot more complicated amongst native speakers of Chinese.

The Chinese government tried to fix this problem in the 1920s by integrating the Beijing dialect into the national language. This helped a lot of Chinese people outside of Beijing and northern China to better understand this common dialect. Westerners refer to this dialect as Standard Mandarin. This is what is taught in schools if you were to learn Chinese. It is also the language that interpreters often use when communicating with patients who speak Chinese.

When it comes to writing Mandarin, the Chinese character system used is known as Hanzi. These “Han characters” have their own meaning to them. In the Hanzi dictionary, there are around 10,000 characters to the system. Each character represents an idea rather than a word. Students in China are taught the Hanzi system when learning it. They’re also taught the Latin alphabet in order to understand pronunciations of written Mandarin.

Since there are more than 600,000 dialects which come from the Chinese language, interpreting the sounds of a Mandarin speaker can be challenging. But the writing system is shared between speakers of different dialects. So even if there was a verbal communication challenge presented, an interpreter could still look at the writings of the patient to understand what message they’re trying to convey.
