Chinese

Mandarin also known as Chinese!

Answer:

There are over 200 different languages (generally referred to as "Chinese" by westerners) spoken in China. The number grows substantially if the dialects are counted. These generally are from six different language groups and are not understandable among speakers of each group - in the same way that German, French and English are related but mutually unintelligible in Europe.

However, Putonghua or Standard Chinese a standardised form of the Mandarin group of dialects spoken in northern and southwestern China, is the official national spoken language of mainland China. Some regions such as Taiwan (Taiwanese Hokkien), Hong Kong (English/Cantonese) and Macao (Portuguese/Cantonese) do not follow this standard. Other autonomous regions such as Tibet and Mongolia also use regional languages.
