At present, only two countries in the world use Chinese as the official language, namely People's Republic of China (PRC) and Singapore, and Singapore only uses Chinese as the second official language. About 100 years ago, Vietnam, the Korean Peninsula and other countries used Chinese, which was the official need. Later, they created their own language and writing in the China Movement.
In Myanmar, Chinese is mainly used in Kokang (the first special zone of Shan State, now the Kokang Autonomous Region of Shan State), Wa State (the second special zone of Shan State), Xiaomengla (the fourth special zone of Shan State) and some Chinese-inhabited cities in Kachin State. In addition, most people in the vast Myanmar area north of Lahu, especially in the ethnic minority areas on the border between China and Myanmar, can speak Yunnan dialect. Mandalay, a city in central Myanmar, also has a Chinese community, and Chinese can also be used.
Looking at neighboring Vietnam, friends who have been to Vietnam say that Vietnamese dialects are very similar to those in some areas of Guangxi. In the border areas, many Vietnamese also speak Mandarin instead of Vietnamese. Some people who come to work in China from the border can hardly speak Vietnamese, but only speak Mandarin with a Guangxi accent.
In Kokang, there are various classes from kindergarten to high school, and at present, they are basically taught in simplified Chinese. Up to now, there are more than 220 schools in Kokang, all of which offer Chinese courses. Kokang has 1 10,000 students and more than 600 teachers, including about 400 teachers in China and more than 200 teachers in Myanmar.
In addition to Singapore, the Chinese Special Zone in Shan State, Myanmar also stipulates that Chinese is spoken. It is the only Chinese autonomous region in the world, mainly composed of brave people of Han nationality. At the end of Qing Dynasty, it was once said to be the territory of China, but it was later taken away by Britain, included in Myanmar and lost by Yunnan people in western Yunnan. Until 2009, the Han people were in power here, so everything was China culture.
Another country that uses Chinese as the official language is Wa, which is a relatively large ethnic autonomous area. The official language of Wa State is Chinese, which is also taught in schools. The official institutions are similar to our country. Wa is similar to China. The Wa State is now highly autonomous and has its own political party, army and government. Apart from nominally paying tribute to the Burmese government, it is no different from an independent kingdom.
In addition, in some overseas Chinese communities, although Chinese has no official status, it is actually a common language. For example, many areas in Malaysia, Kokang in Myanmar, some areas in northern Thailand, and even some areas in Java, Indonesia. Some people on the Chinese website said that Suriname in South America uses Hakka as the official language, but the interviewees found that there was no such statement when they looked up English-related materials. It should be a misinformation.
