About the Chinese Language

Chinese is the umbrella term covering more than a dozen distinct spoken varieties - Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew, Hakka, Shanghainese, Wu, and others - that share a common written form (Chinese characters) but are often mutually unintelligible in spoken form. Canada's Chinese-speaking communities, centred in Toronto, Vancouver, Markham, and Richmond, include speakers of nearly every major variety. When a Canadian client requests "Chinese translation" our first question is which variety, because the answer determines both the translator and the script choice (Simplified for mainland China, Traditional for Hong Kong, Taiwan, and older diaspora communities). See our separate language pages for the specific variants we handle most often.

  • Primary regions: China, Taiwan, Singapore
  • Language origin / family: China
  • Estimated speakers: 1300 million
