To Thexonic

Maybe you can check from the ditionary see what is Chinese. Maybe you heard about Maderine?? There are thousands languages on the world. The Chinese or Maderine is the offical language in China and Taiwan.
I hope it is clear for you.

thexonic said Manderin yes, Chinese ...

Manderin yes, Chinese doesn't exist. Just like "Taiwanese" or "Honkongeses" don't exist.
It is an interesting language, is it easy to learn? or will it take me a few years to use it fluently?

Chinese is a language with so many dialects. The main Dialects are ;

1. Manderin
2. Hokkain
3. Haianese
4. Toh Chu
5. Cantonese

It will not do any harm if you learn a bit before declaring yourself a self made professor of everything under the SUN :)

My daughter was learning Cantonese then Mandarin up to the age of 12.

At age 9 she gained the second highest mark in the school [which included adults & kids from Chinese decent].

I really regret letting her drop it when she went to high school.
