Mandarin is a fairly common language among the Chinese races. Wherever there are Chinese communities, there is a likelihood that Mandarin will be spoken.

It is the official language prescribed in China by the Beijing authorities, known more commonly as 普通话 pu(3) tong(1) hua(4) lit. common language.

Countries with a significant Chinese population that uses Mandarin include Taiwan (but writing is based on traditional character set, Beijing uses the simplified set), Singapore, Malaysia.

In Laos and Indonesia, some ethnic Chinese have been known to speak Chinese dialect called Teo-chew.

Some ethnic Chinese Thai nationals speak the Chinese dialect Hokkien.

Many overseas ethnic Chinese races are able to speak one of the 3 main dialects, namely, Hokkien or Minnan language in Taiwan, Teo-chew and Cantonese (Hong Kong).
