Mandarin (普通话 [pǔtōnghuà]): Mandarin is the official language of China and is spoken by the majority of the population. It is also the language used in most Chinese media and education. It is closely related to 汉语, but is more formal and is used in official contexts.

"汉语" (Hànyǔ) and "中文" (Zhōngwén) both refer to the Chinese language but can be used slightly differently.

1. 汉语 (Hànyǔ): This term specifically refers to the spoken Chinese language. It emphasizes the oral aspect of the language and is used to talk about speaking or conversing in Chinese.
2. 中文 (Zhōngwén): This term can refer to both the written and spoken aspects of the Chinese language. It generally encompasses the entire spectrum of the Chinese language, including its written characters, grammar, vocabulary, and spoken forms.

In everyday use, the distinction might not always be strict, and the terms can be used interchangeably to refer to the Chinese language in general.
