Ancient China primarily used various forms of spoken Chinese, with Mandarin becoming the dominant dialect over time. However, other regional dialects such as Cantonese, Wu, and Min also existed. The written language, based on logographic characters, was more standardized than the spoken forms, leading to significant regional variations in oral language. The development of Classical Chinese as a literary form further distinguished spoken dialects from written communication.
