= ~5 Parargraph Essay ﻿~ = = The Chinese Language = ===**Language in China is very different from our language. They have different lettering and speech. The Chinese alphabet is made up of symbols rather letters. The Chinese language is actually called Mandarain not Chinese.**=== ===**China has 6 main languages that are spoken commonly. Our main language here is English, followed by Spanish and then others. The difference between all of the Chinese languages are the acents and dialects. The different accents for the Chinese are like the different sounds of our language between the Northern and Southern people, they are the same words but sound different because of the accent.**=== ===**The Chinese speech is difficult to understand and the Chinese reading and writing is very hard to figure out. The Chinese writing is called Kanji. It is all of the different symbols that are used in China and some are used in Japan too. Some examples of the Chinese writing is the number system. The number 1 is actually shown as yi (1=yi), the number 2 is written as er (2= er), and the number 3 would be written like (3=san).**=== ===**The Chinese people aren't allowed to just speak about anything or anywhere they want to. They do not have very much freedom there and they can get in big trouble if they are speaking where they shouldn't be or about something they shouldnt be talking about. There isn't a freedom of speech in China.**=== ===**Approximately 70% of the China population speak Chinese. It is unknown who developed the Chinese language but the language belongs to Sino-Tibetan. Sino-Tibetan is a family of languages in China. Many people think Japanese and Chinese language are the same but they are different.**=== ===**It is not known when the Chinese language was created, but it is known that it is a very difficult language to learn for someone who does not understand the Chinese symbol system. The alphabet and writing is very different from our system here in the United States. I would like to learn how to speak and write Chinese sometime because it is very interesting but it would be very hard.**===
