Preferred term

Chinese in the United States  

Definition(s)

  • According to historical linguists, Sino-Tibetan Chinese is more like a language family than a single language made up of a number of regional dialects. However, Chinese people often prefer to use the generic term Chinese when collectively referring to the various languages used in the country.
