Protecting Mandarin Chinese
As a tool of communication,language plays a key role in the development and spread of culture.Given the importance of a language to a country,many experts are showing concern about the development of the Chinese language,which is now facing unprecedented challenges.
A large percentage of the Chinese population cannot communicate in the standard spoken Chinese,known as Putonghua.Written language has also met with similar problems.For example,teachers of Chinese say they cannot understand what their students are trying to convey in their essays since they use irregular Chinese or fragments of English words,expressions and abbreviations.And existing side by side with the standard spoken Putonghua,there are other dialects,which are each further divided into several accents.As a result,although people all speak Chinese,they cannot understand each other.
Promoting Putonghua is needed to surmount the obstacles that arise during communication.The development of Putonghua must be seen as imperative by the government and every member of the society.

保护标准汉语
作为交流的工具,语言在 文化的 发展和传播方面扮演着重要的角色.考虑到语言对于一个国家的重要性,许多专家对于汉语的发展都很关心.目前汉语正面临前所未有的挑战.
一大部分中国人不能用标准的汉语即普通话进行口头交流.书面语也存在类似的问题.例如,汉语老师说他们看不懂学生的文章里写的是什么,因为学生用的是不正规的汉语或英语片语和缩略语.除了标准的普通话口语,还有其它方言,这些方言又细分为几 多 种口音,结果,尽管人们都在说汉语,但彼此之间都听不懂.
为了克服交际中的障碍,需要普及普通话.政府及每个社会成员都必须把发展 （ 普及 ）普通话看成是必需承担的责任.
