汉语的书写体系
汉语的书写系统目前有繁体和简体两种。前者用于台湾、港澳和北美的华人圈中，后者用于中国大陆和新加坡以及东南亚的华人社区。通常说来，两种汉字书写系统虽然有差异，但并不影响沟通。汉字有5万多，但大多数人只认识其中大概2万多。我们目前多使用普通话，普通话被认为是一种更加正式的语言，使用于庄重的场合，是政府工作用语和学校教学用语。
汉语的种类
主要有八大语系。这些是有地域性的，称为方言，彼此在发音方面的差异非常大。还有一种划分方法是分为两大类：文言文和白话文。五四运动之前所使用的书面语叫做“文言”，是一种以孔子时代所使用的以“雅言”为基础的书面语。五四运动之后所推动的书面汉语通常被称为“白话”，即以北方话为基础的现代书面语。在现代汉语的书面语中，文言已经很少使用了。
汉语的今天
1958年入学儿童学习汉语拼音，目的在于帮助每个人学会使用普通话，学会汉字。50年代时期，中华人民共和国政府为普及教育，提出了简化字。作为文化的载体，未来汉字的发展，可能是任何人也难以预料的。
