Because of local influences (kind of like accents in other parts of the world, and "area-exclusive words") it is nigh impossible to accurately post all of the dialects of the Chinese language family. That being said, here are the 10 most common dialects: Mandarin, Wu, Cantonese (also referred to as Chinese itself), Min, Jin, Xiang, Hakka, Gan, Hui, and Ping.
