*Please note Simplified and Traditional Chinese are the written form of Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Taiwanese, Hakka, Hainanese, Taishanese, Chaochow/Teochiu, and other Chinese dialects. The written language that speakers use is based more on location rather than the language spoken. Refer to this article to understand the difference between Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Best practice is to ask families which written language they prefer.
