How do you say Chinese in Chinese? It’s complicated if you don’t know how each version is used. Mandarin teacher Crazie Laoshi explain it all so you will not be confused next time!

You are right, we use 华语 for mandarin and we call ourselves 华人here. That's because there are other people groups here like 印度人 and 马来人 etc. Sometimes we refer to ourselves (dialect) as 唐人 from 唐朝 Tang dynasty but seldom as 汉人 even though we know we are. Or we would refer to ourselves as from a particular dialect like 客家人, 海南人, 福建人, 福州人 etc. or even a sub dialect of the main ones like 惠州客人 which I belong to.

Nice supplement for the interpretation on 华人!The longer I teach Mandarin Chinese, the more I learn about the world. Thanks a lot for your input, Dennis! 还在学华语吗?
