When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me i didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

chinese is not a language
When written I think it is. The correct answer to be fair would have been Traditional or Simplified Chinese but I am pretty sure as a written language it would be referred to as Chinese. Sure someone else (Paul Ho??) can explain better than me though. |

Again no expert on this but my understanding is that Mandarin and Cantonese are spoken dialects but when it comes to the writen characters it is Traditional or Simplified Chinese but they don't correlate to a dialect as such. |

Perhaps a better way to put it would be that the written language and spoken language aren't the same thing in China in so far as that they all read the same language but don't speak the same language if that makes sense??

Think you're correct on the whole redarmi and Mandarin and Cantonese are spoken dialects, but (coincidentally) traditional Chinese is used more in regions outside the mainland, and these areas also are the ones that speak Cantonese.

Also of interest is that Japanese has two syllabary sets of characters (hiragana and katakana) and also uses about 2,000 Chinese characters as well.
These 'kanji' have one reading in Mandarin or Cantonese (I think) , but in Japanese some have several different ways of reading them according to the context (some have as many as 20 different readings).
The Japanese for blonde can be written as it was in the quiz above, but can also be written as 金髪 or きんぱつ.
