		The Chinese language or Chinese languages (汉语/漢語, Pinyin: Hànyǔ, 华语/華語, Huáyǔ or 中文, Zhōngwén) is a language or language group forming part of the Sino-Tibetan family of languages.
		Chinese is often thought to be a single language, though in fact regional variation between different variants/dialects is comparable to that of, for instance, the Romance language family; many variants of Chinese are different enough to be mutually incomprehensible.
		In the sense that the written language is based on Standard Mandarin and the dialects are (for the most part) spoken but not written languages, the situation in China is a complex and interesting case of diglossia.
