 Chinese Dialects FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Because of the sheer size of China and the number of various languages spoken there, teaching everybody Mandarin and making it the national standard has been a very long journey, and even now with less than 30 years to go, most of the languages and dialects are thriving.
Or, a language that is spread out over a large area where travel between cities is difficult could cut a language up letting each area develop independently of each other.
Compare this with European languages of separate branches: English and Russian have 24%, French and German have 29%, English and French have 27%, and two Germanic languages: English and German have 60% (source: Ethnologue), which is still twice as high as Mandarin and Wu.

 The Languages of China (S. Robert Ramsey) - review
The linguistic influence of the north on the south is ongoing: historically the dominant process has been the southward migration of Chinese speakers and the adoption by local populations of Chinese culture and language.
Language has played an unpredictable role in defining minorities: some are clearly distinguishable both culturally and linguistically (the Uighur, for example); others are culturally hard to distinguish from their Han neighbours (the Zhuang); and some speak Chinese dialects and are distinguished only by religion or culture (the Muslim Hui).
Two chapters then survey the minority languages systematically: in the north the Altaic language family (Turkic, Mongolian, and Tungus); in the south a broad "linguistic area" (with shared features resulting from diffusion) containing representatives of several language families (Tibeto-Burman, Tai, Miao-Yao, Mon-Khmer) and many unclassified languages.

The Chinese languages are the languages of the Han people, the major ethnic group of China, including both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China.
The need to establish an official national language was felt as early as the 17th century when the Ch'ing dynasty established a number of "correct pronunciation institutes" to teach standard Peking pronunciation, particularly in the Cantonese and Fukienese-speaking southern provinces.
Due to the domination of the numerically superior Mandarin-speaking delegates, the Peking dialect was voted for the general foundation of the new national language 'guoyu' (national speech).

 Amazon.co.uk: Language Death (Canto S.): Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The rapid endangerment and death of many minority languages across the world is a matter of widespread concern, not only among linguists and anthropologists but among all concerned with issues of cultural identity in an increasingly globalized culture.
A leading commentator and popular writer on language issues, David Crystal asks the fundamental question, 'Why is language death so important?', reviews the reasons for the current crisis, and investigates what is being done to reduce its impact.
The author, who claims to care much about this worrying issue despite admittedly never having spent longer periods in any endangered language environment, does a pretty good job systematically examining the causes of language death and what could be done to halt the process.
