It is the official language of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, one of the major languages used in SE Asia and one of the five official working languages of the United Nations. It is becoming the second largest language spoken in Metro Vancouver. Knowledge in Mandarin is an asset for increased employment opportunities both at home and overseas.
