Standard Mandarin, based on the Beijing dialect, is the official Chinese language taught in schools across mainland China and Taiwan. Regional accents vary widely, from Beijing to Taiwanese Mandarin, but nearly all Mandarin speakers in the U.S. can communicate in the standard form.
Mandarin is a Sinitic language in the Sino-Tibetan family. It is not mutually intelligible with Cantonese, Shanghainese or other Chinese varieties, despite sharing a writing system in most formal contexts.
Mandarin is written using Chinese characters, either simplified (mainland China) or traditional (Taiwan, Hong Kong and many older U.S. immigrant communities). It is also a tonal language with four tones, where the same syllable can carry different meanings depending on pitch.
Common encounter hubs include California, New York, Texas, Washington and Massachusetts.
