Putonghua (普通话) literally means 'common speech' in Chinese. It was officially established in 1956 by the People's Republic of China as the standard form of Mandarin Chinese to unify communication across the country's diverse linguistic landscape. The term is primarily used in mainland China and linguistic contexts, while Taiwan uses the term 'Guóyǔ' (國語) for the same standardized language. In Portuguese-speaking countries, it is usually referred to as 'Mandarim' or 'Mandarim Padrão' (Standard Mandarin).
