  Han Chinese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Han Chinese (Simplified Chinese: 汉族; Traditional Chinese: 漢族; pinyin: hànzú) is a term which refers to the majority ethnic group within China and the largest single human ethnic group in the world.
Han Chinese all speak some form of the Chinese language; one of the Chinese names is Hanyu (Traditional Chinese: 漢語; Simplified Chinese: 汉语), literally the "Han language".
Han Chinese speak many varieties of Chinese spoken language which are generally labelled as different Chinese dialects although the difference among them can be as great as seen in many European languages.

The Chinese language (spoken in its standard Mandarin form) is the official language of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China, one of four official languages of Singapore, and one of six official languages of the UnitedNations.
The terms and concepts used by Chinese to think about language are different from those used in the West, partly because ofthe unifying effects of the Chinese characters used in writing,and partly because of differences in the political and social development of China in comparison with Europe.
Old Chinese, sometimes known as 'Archaic Chinese', was the language commonduring the early and middle ZhouDynasty (11th to 7th centuries B.C.), texts of which include inscriptions on bronze artifacts, the poetry of the Shijing, the history of the Shujing, and portions of the Yijing (I Ching).

Han is one of them and the majority (90 percent of the population in Mainland China).

 Dungan Script and Chinese Language Reform
In opposition to this concentration on the word in SD etymologies, when we refer to etymology as it is applied to Han languages written with the tetragraphic script, we intend the decomposition of single graphs into their constituent elements.
Once Han languages are divorced from the tetragraphs, all of this morphosyllabic centering ceases.
Surely, Han languages preceded the tetragraphs and, while the latter indubitably had an impact on the former during the more than three millennium in which they interacted, it is obvious that speech has always been primary and script secondary.

Tribes that settled in the region of Manchuria and northern Korea spoke the Puyo language.
The process of unifying the Korean language was accelerated in the 10th century when the Koryo Dynasty replaced the Shilla and moved the capital from Kyoungju, the Shilla capital in the south, to Kaesong, a more centrally located capital.
Although the Korean language was becoming the dominant medium in the country, Tungusic, which an aggressive Koguryo tribe had previously carried down to mid-Korea, was influencing the Korean language.

 Jordan's China Handbook: The Chinese Language(s)
Since Chinese tend to name languages after places, and since English tends to use the same names for languages and the people who speak them, it is useful at this point to include a few additional terms you will find in the anthropological literature referring to regional variants of Chinese language or culture.
As most dictionaries have analyzed the language in the last couple of centuries, there have been 214 radicals and 888 phonetics, making a theoretical possibility of 190,032 compound characters, although not all combinations are in fact possible.
Because Mandarin is the only language used in schools (and the only kind of modern Chinese speech that matches the "vernacular" writing system well), nearly all of the modern population is now able to use it with fair to excellent fluency.

It is believed to be the official tongue for the Middle Kingdom prior to the immigration of the northern tribes of Xiongnu, Turkistan, Liao2, Jin1, Yuan2, and Manchurian.

The Han and the Mongols are two of the fifty-six nationalities (minzu) of China, yet both are part of the Chinese nation (Zhonghua minzu) which is historically destined to assert its claim to indivisible sovereignty over the territory of China.

 China Overview-language!
Mandarin has a high tone, a rising tone, a falling-iising tone, and a falling tone; for example, shi means "teacher," she the number "ten," shi "history," and shi the verb "to be." Another distinctive characteristic of all Chinese languages is the simplicity of their grammars.
Post-1949, the CCP's Committee for Chinese Language Reform sought to unify and simplify language by reducing the number of strokes in Chinese characters, standardizing Mandarin as the official national language, and introducing a phonetic alphabet.
Today, pinyin is used abroad to teach Mandarin to language students as well as in China to teach Mandarin pronunciation to native speakers of other kinds of Chinese; it is also used in China in dictionaries and indexes, braille for the blind, finger-spelling for the deaf, and telegraphic code.

Although Hanja evolved as a consequence of centuries of Chinese rule and cultural influence in Korea, it was not entirely Chinese.
Despite its compact alphabet, the Korean language is difficult to transliterate (using the Roman alphabet to spell Korean words as close to their actual pronunciation as possible).
In a nation whose language is so closely tied to its culture, the advent of computer technology is putting a new emphasis on spelling, transliteration, and alphabetization.

 All Empires History Forum: Is Han even an Ethnic group?
Haha that is absolutely right too and since there isn't a clear definition of what is a language or dialect i'll just have to stick to the fact that i believe Chinese is a langauge family and all the descendents are languages not dialects so i believe cantonese and mandarin are separate languages.
Ancient chinese did speak chinese and what was evolved from that language became several spoken variations of Chinese (examples mandarin, cantonese, shanghaiese, hakka etc) all of those languages have dialects OF ITS OWN.....
