Mandarin

Mandarin Chinese is the most prominent and widely-spoken dialect group of the Chinese language and the largest native spoken language on the planet, thus often being known synonymously and simply as Chinese. It is historically prominent in Northern China, sometimes being referred to in China itself as Northern Chinese due to this. It has a standardized form which has become the standard Chinese of the People's Republic of China on the Mainland, the Republic of China stationed in Taiwan, and in Singapore.
