3.WHAT HAS BEEN THE EFFECT OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENTS LANGUAGE POLICY?

INTRDUCTIN:

The population of China consists of 56 officially recognized ethnic groups, which speak (depending on
the criteria used) from 135 to nearly 300 languages. About 90% of the population declare themselves as
belonging to the Han-Chinese nationality. The language spoken by this majority is by no means uniform,
the varieties of Chinese are so diversified, that most of them are mutually unintelligible, and some
linguists even call them separate languages. The remaining 10% speak languages that are classified into
five language families.
The effects of the language policy in China: The goal of current Chinese language policy would be that
every citizen can speak perfect Putonghua fluently, while the local tongues have not been affected.
However, the reality is different.
