Chinese is not a language anymore than “Jewish” is. Wonder why the creator defined “Yiddish” but not Mandarin/Cantonese? If the purpose is to educate getting the basics right would be nice
You can use “Chinese” for all varieties of Chinese.
“These varieties, such as Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu, Min, Gan, Hakka, and Xiang, are mutually unintelligible to varying degrees, meaning speakers of one variety typically cannot understand another without prior learning. Linguists generally classify these as separate languages due to their lack of mutual intelligibility, despite the Chinese government’s official stance that they are dialects of a single language.”
Who are all these french speaking people in Manhattan? I never hear people speaking french.
Bengali? Not Hindi?
