[quote=MISHEN ,8701]In any part of China, if you learnt to speak "off the street" you'd probably be best understood in the place you picked up the dialect, although some places are closer to the standard than others. Standard Mandarin is Northern Chinese with all the diphthongs taken out - in other words, with clarified vowel sounds - and is taught everywhere in the country. No matter where you were, if you studied Mandarin in a school or from a private teacher, you'd be learning something that could be understood by most of the population of China... a lot of people![/quote]
