Among the 55 ethnic minorities of China, only the Hui and Manchu use the Han language (Chinese). The others speak their own languages; 29 have languages in the Chinese-Tibetan language family. These groups live in central, south and southwest China. Seventeen groups have languages of the Altaic language family. These are found in northeast and northwest China. Three have languages in the language family of South Asia, and two speak Indo-European languages. In the Indonesian language family are the Gaoshan people of Taiwan, and there is one group whose language type has not yet been traced. Many times various ethnic minority groups speak each other's languages. The Tajik, Ozbek and Tatar speak Uygur, for instance.
　　Before the founding of the People's Republic in
1949 there were 21 ethnic minority groups (including Hui, Manchu and She using
the written script of the Hans) that had their own written languages. Some of
these written languages are pictographic or ideographic scripts; others have
alphabets or syllabic systems, such as Tibetan, Korean, Uygur, Dai and Arabic.
There were also some people that used several written scripts concurrently. The
Dai, for example, had four, while the Mongolians had two.
China will be divided into atleast twenty pieces (from Taiwan to Tibet) latest in 2010 like Soviet Union.Time has come to reach this stage. Chinese Muslims inside China, Mongols on north, Cantonese speaking Hongkong chinese are cooked well in a Pressure cooker. Time is waiting for a flood of freedom.
