There are many regional dialects, particularly in southern China. Cantonese is the most obvious example.

I keep forgetting about the great map website. I think this map might underemphasize the "hanification" project. I have read more than once that places in Uigyar-land such as Urumqi and Kashi have all but been taken over even to the extent that the old buildings have been torn down and replaced with modern architecture. This area is also the vital transport link to the riches of Central Asia. I'm sure that places such as Llasa have also suffered the same "cultural destruction". I have also read of considerable development along the Indian border in Arunchal Pradesh and along the Amur River in the north. All the outlying areas contain considerable or even vast resources. The map may be permanently expanding. This is a great map. I keep forgetting about the great map website. I think this map might underemphasize the “hanification” project.
