The Modern Chinese was developed from Guan-Hua(Mandarin Chinese), which was based on Beijing dialect. In 1913, the Republic of China Government assigned Mandarin-based Chinese as official language and established a phonetic code to indicate how to read Chinese Character. After 1949, the People's Republic of China Government succeeded the language policy of old government but made a little change like simplified the traditional Chinese Character. Nowaday, when we mention Chinese language, it means the Mandarin-based Chinese(which is called Guo-Yu in Taiwan, Pu-Tong-Hua in China). But there are still two writing Chinese Character, one is Simplified Chinese which is mainly used in Mainland China, the other is Traditional Complicated Chinese which is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and by most overseas Chinese.
