Introduction to the Chinese Language GENERAL INTRODUCTION
Mandarin is the most widely spoken of all Chinese languages/dialects
and is used by upwards of 720 million people in China, or
70 percent of the population of China (Grimes 1992). It is
spoken in a huge area of the mainland running diagonally from
the extreme southwest to Manchuria and also along the entire
east coast north of Shanghai. To generalize, most of China
with the exception of the southeastern provinces from Vietnam
in the southwest to Shanghai in the northeast is Mandarin
speaking. Other exceptional areas are in the far west. There
are also non-Chinese speaking minorities in many areas of
China.
Substantial numbers of speakers are in Taiwan, Singapore,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, the USA, Mongolia, Vietnam, Brunei,
South Africa, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Hong Kong. The
total number of speakers in approximately 885 million (Grimes
