Answer 1

What is the status of language used in your home,the market place,school,workplace,or with relatives?
Firstly,it is important to distinguish language.Take Chinese for example.Mandarine is the official language of China.Mandarine is used in many working places.Madarine is used as the medium of instruction in most schools.However people may use dialect at home and to contact with relatives.There are many dialects in China.Cantonese is one of the most important dialects in China.Cantonese is quite different from mandarine.People who live in Guangdong Province use cantonese at home.In some working places,Cantonese could be used as the medium of working language.
