Brief History of Chinese Language: There are roughly 70,000 chinese characters and phonetic sounds. An average person has to know about 3,000 characters to be able to read the newspaper. In secondary schools the number of characters taught is 5,000. 
Of China's more than 1 billion people, approximately 95 percent speak Chinese. More people, in fact, speak Chinese than any
other language in the world; English ranks second in number of speakers and Spanish third.
As the dominant language of East Asia,
Chinese has greatly influenced the writing systems and vocabularies of neighboring languages not related to it by origin, such as
Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese. It has been estimated that until the 18th century more than half of the world's printed books were
Chinese.
