Best Answer

Chinese written language is the oldest known recorded language

It was written on old bones and turtle shells

The current written language developed from pictographs

There is the traditional style and simplified style developed because so many Chinese were illiterate because the characters were too hard to write.

(Mandarin only)

The spoken language has four tones and a neutral tone

The word for "him, her and it" is all the same (ta) but written differently

If you say "Wo de ma ma shi ma ma?" because of the different tones you could be asking "Is your mother a horse?"
