(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Chinese language (汉语, 华语, or 中文) is a member of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages. Chinese is a tonal language related to Tibetan and Burmese, but unrelated to other neighbouring languages genetically, such as, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai or Japanese. However, these languages were strongly influenced by Chinese in the course of history, linguistically, and also extralinguistically. Korean and Japanese both have writing systems employing Chinese characters, which are called Hanja and Kanji respectively. Along with those two languages, Vietnamese also contains many Chinese loanwords.
About one-fifth of the world speaks some form of Chinese as its native language, making it the most common language in the world. The Chinese language (spoken in its Mandarin form) is the official language of the People's Republic of China, Republic of China, one of four official languages of Singapore, and one of six official languages of the United Nations.
Variations in Chinese
Main article: Chinese dialectSpoken Chinese comprises many regional variants, broken into six dialect groups. (The use of the word "dialect" is disputed as these dialects are mostly mutually unintellegible and possess the same amount of variation as the different Romance languages. If these dialects are to be referred to as "languages", then they are to be referred to as the Chinese languages as a whole.) It is common for speakers of Chinese to be able to speak several variations of the language. Typically in southern China, a person will be able to speak the official Mandarin Chinese, the local dialect, and occasionally either speak or understand another dialect, such as Cantonese Chinese.
In addition, most educated Chinese will be able to read to some degree Classical Chinese.
In the field of software and communications internationalization, CJK is a collective term for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The computerized processing of Chinese characters involves some special issues both in input and character encoding schemes.
The notion of a "Chinese language" may seem at first to be a fiction. The term "Chinese" is employed for the classical written language known as "wen2 yan2 (文言 "literary language")" which was used by Confucius, as well as the modern standard known as "bai2 hua4 (白話 [白话] "vernacular")". It includes many different spoken variations which may be mutually unintelligible. The spoken language of Beijing is for example very different from Cantonese, the conversational language of Hong Kong.
Nevertheless, there are good reasons for using a collective name. The most important one is that Chinese themselves consider the language to be unified entity, and there are good reasons for treating it as such. The most important is that the distinctions between the different variations of Chinese are not very distinct. For example, in writing an informal love letter, one may use informal bai hua. In writing a newspaper article, the language used is different and begins to include aspects of wen yan. In writing a ceremonial document, one would use even more wen yan. The language used in the ceremonial document may be completely different from that of the love letter, but there is a socially accepted continuum existing between the two. Pure "wen yan", however, is rarely used.
There are similar continuums in spoken language. A person living in Taiwan for example, would commonly mix pronunciations, phrases, and words from Mandarin and Min-nan, and these mixtures would be considered socially appropriate under many circumstances. A person living in Hong Kong would use different combinations of Mandarin, colloquial Cantonese, and written Cantonese depending on the social situation.
Another distinctive aspect of the Chinese language is the complex relationship between the various spoken varieties, and the various written varieties. Chinese is written using a logographic script in which one character represents one word element, or morpheme. It is generally the case that a Chinese text written in bai hua would be readable by most educated Chinese, but again the relationship between written and spoken Chinese is complicated. For example, an educated person in Hong Kong would be able to write a text in written formal Cantonese which is readable by someone who is a Mandarin speaker. However, that written formal Cantonese, while similar to written formal Mandarin, would be very different from a word-for-word transcription of what the Cantonese speaker would speak and would also be different from written colloquial Cantonese. One might ask: "If formal written formal Cantonese is different from spoken Cantonese, then where does the Cantonese reader learn written formal Cantonese?" The answer is that the individual would learn it in school, just as an English speaker learns how to write and speak "proper" English in school.
Development of Chinese
Deciphering the history of Chinese poses an interesting problem. How do you know the pronunciation of a language which is not written phonetically? Nevertheless, there are enough clues in the writing system (especially the xiesheng characters), rhymes in poetry, and transcriptions of foreign names, so that the effort that has been devoted at solving this problem is a testimony to the ingenuity of linguists.
Old Chinese
Old Chinese, sometimes known as 'Archaic Chinese', is the language of the early and mid Zhou Dynasty (11th to 7th centuries B.C.), whose texts include inscriptions on bronze artifacts, the poetry of the 詩經 Shijing, the history of the 書經 Shujing, and portions of the 易經 Yijing (I Ching).
Work on reconstructing Old Chinese started with Qing dynasty philologists. The pioneer of Western study of Old Chinese is the Swedish linguist Bernhard Karlgren, whose work is based on the forms of the characters and the rhymes of the 'Shijing'. The phonetic elements found in the majority of Chinese characters also provide hints to their Old Chinese pronunciations.
Middle Chinese
Middle Chinese is the language of the Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties (7th through 10th centuries A.D.). It can be divided into an early period, for which the 切韻 'Qieyun' rhyme table (A.D. 601) relates to, and a late period in the 10th, which the 廣韻 'Guangyun' rhyme table reflects. Bernhard Karlgren called this phase 'Ancient Chinese'.
Linguists are confident in having a good reconstruction of which Middle Chinese sounded like. The evidence for the pronunciation of Middle Chinese comes from several sources: modern dialect variations, rhyming dictionaries, and foreign translations.
Just as Proto-Indo-European can be reconstructed from modern Indo-European languages, so can Middle Chinese be reconstructed (very tentatively) from modern dialects. In addition, ancient Chinese philologists devoted great amount of effort in summarizing the Chinese phonetic system through "rhyming tables", and these tables serve as a basis for the work of modern linguists. Finally, Chinese phonetic translations of foreign words also provide plenty of clues about the nature of Middle Chinese phonetics.
Modern Chinese
A side product of the May Fourth Movement around the early 1900s popularized literature in vernacular Chinese as opposed to Classical Chinese.
Simplified Chinese
The communist government tried to improve the literacy rate of her people by reducing and simplifying the character set in the Chinese language in the 1940s.
The People's Republic of China has officially issued two sets of character simplifications, one in 1956, the other in 1964. A third set of character simplifications was drafted in 1977, but withdrawn.
Its effect on the language is still controversial decades later. See Simplified Chinese character for more.
The Future of Chinese
Due to the increasing market strength of mainland China, most overseas Chinese schools have adapted simplified characters. However, unless PRC wants to distance itself from traditional Chinese culture and from Taiwan, traditional characters are here to stay. Indeed, the increasing trading activity among China, Taiwan and Hong Kong has forced Chinese people to overcome the "character-barrier"--maybe in a way that no one have ever dreamed before.
