1. Chinese, the largest branch within the Sino-Tibetan language family, ranks as the world's most spoken native language when considering the entire Chinese language family as a single linguistic entity. Currently, one-fifth of the global population uses Chinese either as their native or second language. Furthermore, Chinese serves as the official language of China and Singapore, functions as a lingua franca in overseas Chinese communities and ethnic minority regions such as Kokang, Dungan, and Taz, and holds official recognition as a minority language in multiple nations. In international affairs, it stands as one of the United Nations' official languages and has been adopted as an official working language by international organizations including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS. Historically, Chinese vocabulary and characters have been assimilated by neighboring nations within the historical sphere of influence of Chinese civilization, ultimately forming the cultural sphere known as the Sinosphere.
