Usage notes

漢語／汉语 (Hànyǔ) is formal. In everyday language, 中文 (Zhōngwén) or 華語／华语 (Huáyǔ) are more often used respectively in mainland China and Singapore, Malaysia. 漢語／汉语 (Hànyǔ) can also imply 普通話／普通话 (pǔtōnghuà, “Standard Mandarin Chinese”), especially in the rarer used term 現代標準漢語／现代标准汉语 (xiàndài biāozhǔn hànyǔ, “Modern Standard Chinese”). Ethnic minorities in China often refer to Standard Mandarin as 漢語／汉语 (Hànyǔ) in order to contrast it with their respective ethnic languages. 國家通用語言文字／国家通用语言文字 is very formal usually used in governmental texts.
