All varieties of Chinese are tonal and analytic. However, Chinese is also internally diverse. Regional variation is comparable to the Romance language family: many variants of spoken Chinese are mutually unintelligible. There are between six and twelve main regional groups of Chinese (depending on the classification scheme). The largest by far is Mandarin (with about 800 million speakers), followed by Wu (about 90 million), and Cantonese (about 80 million).
The standardized form of

as well as one of four

languages of the United
Nations. Standard Cantonese
