"Chinese" is not just one language; it is really a family of many dialects, some of which are so different from one another that they could possibly be considered different languages. Speakers of one dialect often can't understand speakers of other dialects. However, the Chinese languages been written in a uniform way (Chinese characters) for thousands of years.
Some of the dialects in the Chinese language family include Mandarin (Putonghua) spoken mostly in the North, Cantonese spoken mostly in Guangdong, Shanghainese (Wu), Hakka, Minbei, and Minnan. There are also numerous ethnic groups in China who speak their own languages, separate from Chinese, such as Zhuang, Manchu, Miao and Uyghur. Mandarin is the official language of the People's Republic of China, and most young people in the PRC can speak Mandarin in addition to their native dialect/language.
Nationally people speak mandarin Chinese, or putonghua, with most local dialects varying slightly from the standard Chinese, but Cantonese, a dialect popular in Guangdong province and among many overseas Chinese, differs largely from the mandarin in pronunciation (not so in writing).
The official languages of China are Standard Chinese (Mainland), Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Portuguese, Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolian and Zhuang.
