Mandarin, the national language, is called Hanyu 汉语, a more generic term for Chinese would be Zhongwen 中文. There are many dialects of Chinese, with almost every village having its own particular dialect. Cantonese is one of the larger dialects, and in Chinese it is called Guangdonghua 广东话, reflecting the region that it originates from.
