northern standard chinese
the beijing dialect eventually became the official national language for the country. in the early qing dynasty, han officials serving in the imperial court were required to learn the manchu language, but most manchus eventually learned to speak chinese. the manchus adopted beijing mandarin as their spoken language and this was a feature of manchu banner garrisons in areas of southern china. in 1728, the yongzheng emperor, who could not understand officials from southern china, decreed that all takers of the civil service examination must be able to speak beijing mandarin. though the decree was eventually lifted under the jiaqing emperor, the beijing dialect spread first among officials and then among commoners under subsequent regimes. shortly after the founding of the republic of china, the commission on the unification of pronunciation made the beijing dialect the national standard for spoken chinese in 1913. after the capital was moved to nanjing, national languages committee reaffirmed the beijing dialect as the standard in 1932. the people's republic of china followed suit in 1955.
