English is a Germanic language (Indo-European family), spoken in countries around the world; in India it is used alongside Hindi for the official work of the Union government, in courts and in higher education. It is written in the Latin alphabet: an alphabet in which vowels and consonants are separate letters.
Chinese (Simplified) (简体中文) is a Sinitic (Chinese) language of the Sino-Tibetan family, spoken in mainland China and Singapore (simplified characters). It is written in simplified Chinese characters: each character stands for a syllable with a meaning, and simplified forms are used in mainland China and Singapore.
How English and Chinese (Simplified) compare
- English is written in the Latin alphabet and Chinese (Simplified) in simplified Chinese characters, so the translation changes the script as well as the words.
- English and Chinese (Simplified) come from different language families (Germanic and Sinitic), so most words have no shared root.
- Both usually put words in the order subject–verb–object, which keeps sentences close in shape.
- Chinese is written without spaces between words, and each character is one syllable.
