Simplified Chinese (Simplified Chinese: 简体字 or 简化字; Traditional Chinese: 簡體字 or 簡化字; pinyin: jiǎntǐzì or jiǎnhuàzì) is one of two standard sets of Chinese characters of printed contemporary Chinese written language, simplified from traditional Chinese by the People's Republic of China in an attempt to promote literacy. It is used in mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia.
While traditional characters are used in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and many overseas Chinese communities, Simplified Chinese is gradually gaining popularity among overseas Chinese as more mainland Chinese emigrate from their homeland.
Simplified character forms are created by decreasing the number of strokes and simplifying the forms of a sizeable proportion of traditional Chinese characters. Some characters were simplified by applying regular rules; for example, by replacing all occurrences of a certain component with a simpler variant. Some characters were simplified irregularly, however, and some simplified characters are very dissimilar to and unpredictable from traditional characters. Finally, many characters were left untouched by simplification, and are thus identical between the traditional and simplified Chinese orthographies.
