Characters for the Chinese language helped bring together the country. Cultures from the north and south of China have such different dialects to speaking that they cannot speak to each other but the characters never change, so even though they cannot speak to each other they may still communicate.
China is written different ways depending where you are. In Traditional Chinese characters, China is written 中國. This is used in Taiwan and some overseas Chinese communities. In Simplified Chinese characters, used in China, it's written 中国.
The written language of China is called "Chinese" and encompasses virtually all 295 dialects spoken in China, including Mandarin and Cantonese.For more information about the written Chinese language, click here.
