Because most Mandarin dialects are found in the north, the group is also referred to as the quot;northern dialectsquot; simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Bifnghu. A northeasterndialect speaker and a southwesterndialect speaker can hardly communicate except through the standard language, mainly because of the differences in tone. Nonetheless, the variation within Mandarin does not compare with the much greater variation found within several other varieties of Chinese, and this is thought to be due to a relatively recent spread of Mandarin across China, combined with a greater ease of travel and communication compared to the more mountainous south of China.WikipediaWe hope you enjoy the quizFEATURESFour options for each question, only one correct answerReview your resultsSave your favourite questionsSee your learning historySend questions to your friends on Twitter and facebook or via email to see how they compare.Access to over 1000 more quizzes through the appNo registration necessaryPlay offlineWHAT WE DOWe love quizzes, and we want everyone to enjoy them That39;s why Golden Quartz have made over 1000 quizzes, which are played by thousands of people around the world.
