Answer:
The correct answer to the question: Children from China´s many different ethnic groups are taught to read and write in____, would be: Standard Chinese, also known as Modern Standard Mandarin, or simply Mandarin, which is a variation of the Beijing dialect of Mandarin, and which is now the official language accepted in China, Taiwan and some parts of Singapore.
Explanation:
Because of the immense varieties of dialects that make a part of the language richness of China, and because even within groups of dialect forms it was not possible to have people understand each other, it was established that a standard form of the traditional Chinese language would be adopted. Before Standard Chinese was adopted as the national language, and became the one taught as a foreign language as well, traditional Chinese was the form of communication, and it had the huge problem that there were thousands of dialects within that one system. Thus, it was found that even people from the same region of China would not understand one another, as some followed classical Chinese, others different forms of Mandarin, others the Han language system, among many others. Thus, it became necessary to standardize the language, and Standard Chinese was the system that was elected.
