Mandarin (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Guānhuà; literally "speech of officials" or simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Běifānghuà; literally "northern dialect(s)"), is a category of related Chinese dialects spoken across most of northern and south-western China. When taken as a separate language, as is often done in academic literature, the Mandarin language has more native speakers than any other language. The "standard" in Standard Mandarin refers to the official standardized language of China based on the Beijing dialect.
