The title should be "Standard Mandarin", not "Standard Chinese" There's no such language as "Chinese", just like there's no such language as "Indian". Unlike Japan or Korea, within the border of China exists multiple ethnicities, cultures and languages, not just a single people called "Chinese" or a single language called "Chinese" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.244.23.236 ( talk) 15:37, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
This is my first time setting up an account and I would like to edit this article however it is locked.
Regarding the first paragraph:
Standard Chinese, also known as Modern Standard Mandarin, Standard Mandarin, Modern Standard Mandarin Chinese (MSMC), or simply Mandarin, is a standard variety of Chinese that is one of the official languages of China. Its pronunciation is based on the Beijing dialect, its vocabulary on the Mandarin dialects, and its grammar is based on written vernacular Chinese. The similar Taiwanese Mandarin is a national language of Taiwan. Standard Singaporean Mandarin is one of the four official languages of Singapore.
Mandarin is the official language of China, just like how Taiwan and Singapore are described as having one "national language" or four "official languages" respectively.
Mandarin is not ONE OF the official languageS of China. There isn't more than one OFFICIAL language (there are many non-official ones, known as dialects). Caps are intentional. Mandarin is THE official language of China. This should be clarified. And Mandarin is ONE dialect, not "the Mandarin dialectS." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hsrain ( talk • contribs) 22:14, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Why doesn't it say that Standard Chinese is a officially recognised minority language in Malaysia????? 2001:268:9ACE:1181:7090:42FF:FE48:1A31 ( talk) 09:22, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
The article contains misleading information. Modern Standard Chinese is based on the Mandarin variety of Chinese, yet it is not Mandarin, but a pluricentric language with different standard forms in mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Macau, and Hong Kong. Hong Kong and Macau have used Modern Standard Chinese in the formal written register even before 1997 and Cantonese is used as a colloquial form of Chinese only, although Modern Standard Chinese is read aloud in Cantonese phonology in Hong Kong and Macau. The standard language of Hong Kong officially is "Chinese" with not further specification. Einstein92 ( talk) 01:50, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
