Mandarin varieties and dialects we handle
Standard Mandarin (Putonghua)

Cantonese and other Sinitic languages
Cantonese is a separate language from Mandarin and not mutually intelligible. If the client is Cantonese-speaking, see our Cantonese page. Hokkien, Shanghainese, and other Sinitic varieties are also distinct.
