Casinos supporting Chinese language

Chinese is among the most important East Asian languages, with influence over the written and spoken tongues of many of the countries surrounding it and possessing the dialect with the largest number of native speakers of any language in the world.

While the different types of Chinese are often classified as dialects of the primary Chinese language, many linguists insist that they are as different from one another as individual language families. In fact, many speakers of one dialect would find others entirely unintelligible were they to hear it spoken.

While the spoken language of China has changed a lot over the years, the written language was stayed mostly intact. Written language in China can be traced back as far as to between the 14th and 11th centuries BCE. Classical Chinese literature appeared in the Spring and Autumn period from 771 to 476 BCE and heavily influenced many of the countries around it including Japan and Korea, both of which adopted Chinese writing and eventually adapted it into common scripts.

Chinese is spoken by 1.2 billion people as a native language, making it the first language of roughly 16% of the world's population. It includes speakers from all over the globe.
