漢語

　　漢語現(xiàn)在是世界上用作本族語人數(shù)最多的語言。漢語與西方語言的一個(gè)重要區(qū)別在于它是以方塊字(character)而不是以字母構(gòu)成的。目前仍在使用的書寫系統(tǒng)中，漢語是最古老的。在中國，來自不同地區(qū)的人可能聽不懂對方的方言，但由于漢字有統(tǒng)一的書寫形式，他們交流起來幾乎沒有任何困難。漢語歷史上對團(tuán)結(jié)民族發(fā)揮了重要作用。今天，隨著中國經(jīng)濟(jì)的快速增長和全球影響力的增強(qiáng)，越來越多其他國家的人也開始學(xué)習(xí)漢語。

　　Chinese is now the language with the largest number of native speakers in the world. One important difference between Chinese and western language is that it is composed of block characters rather than letters. Chinese is the oldest writing system still in use. In China, people from different regions may not understand each other's dialects, but because Chinese characters are written in a uniform form, they have little difficulty in communicating. The Chinese language has played an important role in uniting the Chinese nation in history. Nowadays, with the rapid growth and increasing global influence of Chinese economy, more and more individuals from foreign countries start to learn Chinese .
