Chinese dialect 方言保护

In my opinion ,the main reasons are:
• The spread of Mandarin :Han people, who account
for more than 90 percent of the population in China, along with the other larger groups such as Hui, speak Mandarin as their main language. Therefore, the spread of Mandarin leaves many languages of smaller groups, such as the traditionally shamanistic Hezhe, Oroqen and Ewenki people who live in China's far northeast, marginalized and under threat. Minority languages have been ignored across the world as most attention has been given to "super languages" such as English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi and Mandarin, which spread through the Internet and television.
汉语方言可分为三大区块、七个方言。北区是官话,中区是吴、湘、赣,南区 是闽、粤、客。这七大方言界线大体清晰。官话与其他方言的区分标准有十 五项；吴湘的区别在声调发展模式；客赣在许多方面近似,但赣语具有较多 中区特色；闽语词汇别具色彩；粤语则以阴入两分最为突出。汉语方言的发 展历程与罗曼语诸语言的发展历程相当近似。

For thousands of years, Chinese people speak in hundreds different dialects, but use only one written system, Han Character (汉字), which makes the written communication and culture inheritance possible. The separation of the written and spoken forms of the Chinese language provides a tie that holds the Chinese people together while gives a space for different expressions in daily lives.
Background
• The formation of Chinese dialect is mainly because China is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-linguistic country, with 56 ethnic groups and more than 80 kinds of languages.

Brief introduction :
•
The Chinese linguistic landscape can be split into three zones, with seven relatively well-defined dialect groups - Mandarin, Wu, Xiang, Gan, Min, Yue, and Hakka. First, a diagnostic list is provided for identifying sinitic languages. Then efforts are focused on defining each of the seven dialects in a more rigorous manner. For example, Wu and Xiang are different in their tonal developments. The degree of diversity among the Chinese dialects is similar to that found in the Romance family.
