Hindu on Nostr: When people say Chinese they are referring to Mandarin. Even Chinese people call it ...
When people say Chinese they are referring to Mandarin. Even Chinese people call it Chinese when speaking English. Hongkies now say Cantonese when referring to their own language.
I know all this because I have many family members who are Chinese. I spend a lot of time in China every year.
