There are at least eight primary Chinese languages, and although they belong to the same family and historically have been referred to as dialects, they are as different as French, Italian, Spanish and other so-called Romance languages, if not more so Westerners have also traditionally regarded learning and speaking any of the Chinese “dialects” as especially difficult because they are all “tonal languages.” That is, changing the tone of voice in the pronunciation of words changes the meanings of the words These circumstances, combined with the forbidding appearance of the “characters,” or ideograms, used to write all of the Chinese languages, have long been viewed by Westerners as insurmountable barriers Furthermore, many Chinese words have dozens to over a hundred homonyms [words that are spelled the same and may be pronounced the same but have different meanings], further complicating matters The National Language But this view of the Chinese language is outdated In 1949 the newly established Communist government of Mao Ze-dong decreed that Mandarin Chinese, the “dialect” spoken in Beijing and the surrounding areas, was to be the official language of China, and thereafter would be taught in all of the schools throughout the country Preface Today, virtually all Chinese speak Mandarin Chinese, known as putonghua (poo-tohng-hwah) ใޯor “the common language,” as their first or second language A further boon to foreigners taking up the study of the national Chinese language is the fact that Mandarin Chinese—now the only “dialect” needed—has only four tones [Some of the other dialects have as many as eight tones.] Boyé Lafayette De Mente The National Language noon North America Northeast China notebook novel (book) novelist nurse nursery [O] oatmeal ocean office

on Asia had its humble beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont The company’s founder, Charles E Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing And his first love was naturally books—especially old and rare editions Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry He later founded the Charles E Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the world’s leading independent publishers Though a westerner, Tuttle was hugely instrumental in bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East By the time of his death in 1993, Tuttle had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture, history and art—a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the “Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese With a backlist of 1,500 titles, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time in its past—inspired by Charles Tuttle’s core mission to publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each
